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unexpected fix of many of the issues with `npm update +-g` simply by making `--depth=0` the default for `npm outdated`, friend of npm +[@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) has made several modest changes to npm's +behavior that together justify bumping npm's minor version,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)) + +#### SMALLER FEATURES AND FIXES + +It turns out that quite a few pull requests had piled up on npm's issue +tracker, and they included some nice small features and fixes: + +* [`f33e8b8`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f33e8b8ff2de094071c5976be95e35110cf2ab1a) + [#7354](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7354) Add `--if-present` flag to + allow e.g. CI systems to call (semi-) standard build tasks defined in + `package.json`, but don't raise an error if no such script is defined. + ([@jussi](https://github.com/jussi)-kalliokoski) +* [`7bf85cc`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/7bf85cc372ab5698593b01e139c383fa62c92516) + [#4005](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4005) + [#6248](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6248) Globally unlink a package + when `npm rm` / `npm unlink` is called with no arguments. + ([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs)) +* [`a2e04bd`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a2e04bd921feab8f9e40a27e180ca9308eb709d7) + [#7294](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7294) Ensure that when depending on + `git+<proto>` URLs, npm doesn't keep tacking additional `git+` prefixes onto + the front.
