This release has been incubating rather +longer than usual and it's grown quite a bit in that time. I'm also excited +to say that it has contributions from **27** different folks, which is a new +record for us. Our previous record was 5.1.0 at 21. Before that the record +had been held by 1.3.16 since _December of 2013_. + +![chart of contributor counts by version, showing an increasing rate over time and spikes mid in the 1.x series and later at 5.x](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DH38rbZUwAAf9hS.jpg) + +If you can't get enough of the bleeding edge, I encourage you to check out +our canary release of npm. Get it with `npm install -g npmc`. It's going to +be seeing some exciting stuff in the next couple of weeks, starting with a +rewriten `npm dedupe`, but moving on to… well, you'll just have to wait and +find out. + +### PERFORMANCE + +* [`d080379f6`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d080379f620c716afa2c1d2e2ffc0a1ac3459194) + `pacote@6.0.1` Updates extract to use tar@4, which is much faster than the + older tar@2.

It also + produces exactly the same byte-for-byte output when producing tarballs + from the same set of files. This will have some nice carry on effects for + things like caching builds from git. And finally, last but certainly not + least, upgrading to it also let's us finally eliminate `fstream`—if + you know what that is you'll know why we're so relieved. + ([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs)) + +### FEATURES + +* [`1ac470dd2`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1ac470dd283cc7758dc37721dd6331d5b316dc99) + [#10382](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/10382) + If you make a typo when writing a command now, npm will print a brief "did you + mean..." message with some possible alternatives to what you meant. + ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde)) +* [`20c46228d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/20c46228d8f9243910f8c343f4830d52455d754e) + [#12356](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12356) + When running lifecycle scripts, `INIT_CWD` will now contain the original + working directory that npm was executed from.
