+### v2.7.0 (2015-02-26):
+
+#### SOMETIMES SEMVER MEANS "SUBJECTIVE-EMPATHETIC VERSIONING"
+
+For a very long time (maybe forever?), the documentation for `npm run-script`
+has said that `npm restart` will only call `npm stop` and `npm start` when
+there is no command defined as `npm restart` in `package.json`. The problem
+with this documentation is that `npm run-script` was apparently never wired up
+to actually work this way.
+
+Until now.
+
+If the patch below were landed on its own, free of context, it would be a
+breaking change. But, since the "new" behavior is how the documentation claims
+this feature has always worked, I'm classifying it as a patch-level bug fix. I
+apologize in advance if this breaks anybody's deployment scripts, and if it
+turns out to be a significant regression in practics, we can revert this change
+and move it to `npm@3`, which is allowed to make breaking changes due to being
+a new major version of semver.
+
+* [`2f6a1df`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f6a1df3e1e3e0a3bc4abb69e40f59a64204e7aa)
+  [#1999](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1999) Only run `stop` and `start`
+  scripts (plus their pre- and post- scripts) when there's no `restart` script
+  defined. This makes it easier to support graceful restarts of services
+  managed by npm.  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) /
+  [@scien](https://github.com/scien))
+
+#### A SMALL FEATURE WITH BIG IMPLICATIONS
+
+* [`145af65`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/145af6587f45de135cc876be2027ed818ed4ca6a)
+  [#4887](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4887) Replace calls to the
+  `node-gyp` script bundled with npm by passing the
+  `--node-gyp=/path/to/node-gyp` option to npm. Swap in `pangyp` or a version
+  of `node-gyp` modified to work better with io.js without having to touch
+  npm's code!  ([@ackalker](https://github.com/ackalker))
+
+#### [@WATILDE'S](https://github.com/watilde) NPM USABILITY CORNER
+
+Following `npm@2.6.1`'s unexpected fix of many of the issues with `npm update
+-g` simply by making `--depth=0` the default for `npm outdated`, friend of npm
+[@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) has made several modest changes to npm's
+behavior that together justify bumping npm's minor version, as well as making
+npm significantly more pleasant to use:
+
+* [`448efd0`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/448efd0eaa6f97af0889bf47efc543a1ea2f8d7e)
+  [#2853](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2853) Add support for `--dev` and
+  `--prod` to `npm ls`, so that you can list only the trees of production or
+  development dependencies, as desired.
+  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+* [`a0a8777`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a0a87777af8bee180e4e9321699f050c29ed5ac4)
+  [#7463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7463) Split the list printed by
+  `npm run-script` into lifecycle scripts and scripts directly invoked via `npm
+  run-script`. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+* [`a5edc17`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a5edc17d5ef1435b468a445156a4a109df80f92b)
+  [#6749](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6749) `init-package-json@1.3.1`:
+  Support for passing scopes to `npm init` so packages are initialized as part
+  of that scope / organization / team. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+
+#### SMALLER FEATURES AND FIXES

+tracker, and they included some nice small features and fixes:

+  Remove all command completion calls to `-/short`, because it's been removed
+  from the primary registry for quite some time, and is generally a poor idea
+  on any registry with more than a few hundred packages.
+  ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

+  how the new `npm update` defaults work in practice, tied to actual test
