How much smaller? Well, for npm itself it +reduces 416K of gzip compressed JSON to 24K. + +As a user, all you have to do is update to get to use the new API. If +you're interested in the details we've [documented the +changes](https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/responses/package-metadata.md) +in detail. + +#### CORGUMENTS + +Package metadata: now smaller. This means a smaller cache and less to download. + +* [`86dad0d74`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/86dad0d747f288eab467d49c9635644d3d44d6f0) + Add support for filtered package metadata. + ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna)) +* [`41789cffa`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/41789cffac9845603f4bdf3f5b03f412144a0e9f) + `npm-registry-client@8.1.0` + ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna)) + +#### NO SHRINKWRAP, NO PROBLEM + +Previously we needed to extract every package's tarball to look for an +`npm-shrinkwrap.json` before we could begin working through what its +dependencies were. This was one of the things stopping npm's network +accesses from happening more concurrently. The new filtered package +metadata provides a new key, `_hasShrinkwrap`. When that's set to `false` +then we know we don't have to look for one. + +* [`4f5060eb3`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4f5060eb31b9091013e1d6a34050973613a294a3) + [#15969](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15969) + Add support for skipping `npm-shrinkwrap.json` extraction when the + registry can affirm that one doesn't exist. + ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna)) + +#### INTERRUPTING SCRIPTS + +* [`878aceb25`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/878aceb25e6d6052dac15da74639ce274c8e62c5) + [#16129](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16129) + Better handle Ctrl-C while running scripts. `npm` will now no longer exit + until the script it is running has exited. If you press Ctrl-C a second + time it kill the script rather than just forwarding the Ctrl-C. + ([@jaridmargolin](https://github.com/jaridmargolin)) + +#### DEPENDENCY UPDATES: + +* [`def75eebf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/def75eebf1ad437bf4fd3f5e103cc2d963bd2a73) + `hosted-git-info@2.4.1`: + Preserve case of the user name part of shortcut specifiers, previously they were lowercased. + ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna)) +* [`eb3789fd1`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/eb3789fd18cfb063de9e6f80c3049e314993d235) + `node-gyp@3.6.0`: Add support for VS2017 and Chakracore improvements. + ([@refack](https://github.com/refack)) + ([@kunalspathak](https://github.com/kunalspathak)) +* [`245e25315`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/245e25315524b95c0a71c980223a27719392ba75) + `readable-stream@2.2.6` ([@mcollina](https://github.com/mcollina)) +* [`30357ebc5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/30357ebc5691d7c9e9cdc6e0fe7dc6253220c9c2) + `which@1.2.14` ([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs)) + ### v4.4.4 (2017-03-10) 😩😤😅 Okay!
