All of those should be back in working condition +now. + +There's another shiny thing you might wanna know about: npm has a Canary release +now! The `npm5` experiment we did during our beta proved to be incredibly +successful: users were able to have a tight feedback loop between reports and +getting the bugfixes they needed, and the CLI team was able to roll out +experimental patches and have the community try them out right away. So we want +to keep doing that. + +From now on, you'll be able to install the 'npm canary' with `npm i -g npmc`. +This release will be a separate binary (`npmc`. Because canary. Get it?), which +will update independently of the main CLI. Most of the time, this will track +`release-next` or something close to it. We might occasionally toss experimental +branches in there to see if our more adventurous users run into anything +interesting with it. For example, the current canary (`npmc@5.0.1-canary.6`) +includes an [experimental multiproc +branch](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16633) that parallelizes tarball +extraction across multiple processes. + +If you find any issues while running the canary version, please report them and +let us know it came from `npmc`! It would be tremendously helpful, and finding +things early is a huge reason to have it there. Happy hacking! + +### A NOTE ABOUT THE ISSUE TRACKER + +Just a heads up: We're preparing to do a massive cleanup of the issue tracker. +It's been a long time since it was something we could really keep up with, and +we didn't have a process for dealing with it that could actually be sustainable. + +We're still sussing the details out, and we'll talk about it more when we're +about to do it, but the plan is essentially to close old, abandoned issues and +start over. We will also [add some automation](https://github.com/probot) around +issue management so that things that we can't keep up with don't just stay +around forever. + +Stay tuned! + +### GIT YOLO + +* [`1f26e9567`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1f26e9567a6d14088704e121ebe787c38b6849a4) + `pacote@2.7.27`: Fixes installing committishes that look like semver, even + though they're not using the required `#semver:` syntax. + ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat)) +* [`85ea1e0b9`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/85ea1e0b9478551265d03d545e7dc750b9edf547) + `npm-package-arg@5.1.1`: This includes the npa git-parsing patch to make it so + non-hosted SCP-style identifiers are correctly handled. Previously, npa would + mangle them (even though hosted-git-info is doing the right thing for them). + ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat)) + +### COOL NEW OUTPUT + +The new summary output has been really well received! One downside that reared +its head as more people used it, though, is that it doesn't really tell you +anything about the toplevel versions it installed. So, if you did `npm i -g +foo`, it would just say "added 1 package". This patch by +[@rmg](https://github.com/rmg) keeps things concise while still telling you +what you got! So now, you'll see something like this: + +``` +$ npm i -g foo bar ++ foo@1.2.3 ++ bar@3.2.1 +added 234 packages in .005ms +``` + +* [`362f9fd5b`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/362f9fd5bec65301082416b4292b8fe3eb7f824a) + [#16899](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16899) + For every package that is given as an argument to install, print the name and + version that was actually installed. + ([@rmg](https://github.com/rmg)) + +### OTHER BUGFIXES + +* [`a47593a98`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a47593a98a402143081d7077d2ac677d13083010) + [#16835](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16835) + Fix a crash while installing with `--no-shrinkwrap`. + ([@jacknagel](https://github.com/jacknagel)) + +### DOC UPATES + +* [`89e0cb816`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/89e0cb8165dd9c3c7ac74d531617f367099608f4) + [#16818](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16818) + Fixes a spelling error in the docs.
