## v5.10.0 (2018-04-12):
### NEW FEATURES
* [`32ec2f54b`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/32ec2f54b2ad7370f2fd17e6e2fbbb2487c81266)
[#20257](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20257)
Add shasum and integrity to the new `npm view` output.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`a22153be2`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a22153be239dfd99d87a1a1c7d2c3700db0bebf3)
[#20126](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20126)
Add `npm cit` command that's equivalent of `npm ci && npm t` that's equivalent of `npm it`.
([@SimenB](https://github.com/SimenB))
### BUG FIXES
* [`089aeaf44`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/089aeaf4479f286b1ce62716c6442382ff0f2150)
Fix a bug where OTPs passed in via the commandline would have leading
zeros deleted resulted in authentication failures.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`6eaa860ea`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6eaa860ead3222a6dbd6d370b4271e7bf242b30b)
Eliminate direct use of `new Buffer` in `npm`. While the use of it in `npm` was safe, there
are two other reasons for this change:
1. Node 10 emits warnings about its use.
2. Users who require npm as a library (which they definitely should not do)
can call the functions that call `new Buffer` in unsafe ways, if they try
really hard.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`85900a294`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/85900a2944fed14bc8f59c48856fb797faaafedc)
Starting with 5.8.0 the `requires` section of the lock-file saved version ranges instead of
specific versions. Due to a bug, further actions on the same lock-file would result in the
range being switched back to a version. This corrects that, keeping ranges when they appear.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`0dffa9c2a`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0dffa9c2ae20b669f65c8e596dafd63e52248250)
[`609d6f6e1`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/609d6f6e1b39330b64ca4677a531819f2143a283)
[`08f81aa94`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/08f81aa94171987a8e1b71a87034e7b028bb9fc7)
[`f8b76e076`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f8b76e0764b606e2c129cbaa66e48ac6a3ebdf8a)
[`6d609822d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6d609822d00da7ab8bd05c24ec4925094ecaef53)
[`59d080a22`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/59d080a22f7314a8e4df6e4f85c84777c1e4be42)
Restore the ability to bundle dependencies that are uninstallable from the
registry. This also eliminates needless registry lookups for bundled
dependencies.
Fixed a bug where attempting to install a dependency that is bundled
inside another module without reinstalling that module would result in
ENOENT errors.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`db846c2d5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/db846c2d57399f277829036f9d96cd767088097e)
[#20029](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20029)
Allow packages with non-registry specifiers to follow the fast path that
the we use with the lock-file for registry specifiers. This will improve install time
especially when operating only on the package-lock (`--package-lock-only`).
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
Fix the a bug where `npm i --only=prod` could remove development
dependencies from lock-file.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`3e12d2407`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3e12d2407446661d3dd226b03a2b6055b7932140)
[#20122](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20122)
Improve the update-notifier messaging (borrowing ideas from pnpm) and
eliminate false positives.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`f18be9b39`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f18be9b39888d05c7f98946c53214f40914f6284)
[#20154](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20154)
Let version succeed when `package-lock.json` is gitignored.
([@nwoltman](https://github.com/nwoltman))
* [`ced29253d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/ced29253df6c6d67e4bf47ca83e042db4fb19034)
[#20212](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20212)
Ensure that we only create an `etc` directory if we are actually going to write files to it.
([@buddydvd](https://github.com/buddydvd))
* [`8e21b19a8`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8e21b19a8c5e7d71cb51f3cc6a8bfaf7749ac2c5)
[#20140](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20140)
Note in documentation that `package-lock.json` version gets touched by `npm version`.
([@srl295](https://github.com/srl295))
* [`5d17c87d8`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/5d17c87d8d27caeac71f291fbd62628f2765fda2)
[#20032](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20032)
Fix bug where unauthenticated errors would get reported as both 404s and
401s, i.e. `npm ERR! 404 Registry returned 401`. In these cases the error
message will now be much more informative.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`05ff6c9b1`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/05ff6c9b14cb095988b768830e51789d6b6b8e6e)
[#20082](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20082)
Allow optional @ prefix on scope with `npm team` commands for parity with other commands.
([@bcoe](https://github.com/bcoe))
* [`6bef53891`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6bef538919825b8cd2e738333bdd7b6ca2e2e0e3)
[#19580](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/19580)
Improve messaging when two-factor authentication is required while publishing.
([@jdeniau](https://github.com/jdeniau))
* [`155dab2bd`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/155dab2bd7b06724eca190abadd89c9f03f85446)

## v5.9.0 (2018-03-23):
Coming to you this week are a fancy new package view, pack/publish previews
and a handful of bug fixes! Let's get right in!
### NEW PACKAGE VIEW
There's a new `npm view` in town. You might it as `npm info` or `npm show`.
The new output gives you a nicely summarized view that for most packages
fits on one screen. If you ask it for `--json` you'll still get the same
results, so your scripts should still work fine.

`byte-size@4.0.2`
### PACK AND PUBLISH PREVIEWS
The `npm pack` and `npm publish` commands print out a summary of the files
included in the package. They also both now take the `--dry-run` flag, so
you can double check your `.npmignore` settings before doing a publish.
* [`116e9d827`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/116e9d8271d04536522a7f02de1dde6f91ca5e6e)

Add package previews to pack and publish. Also add --dry-run and --json
flags.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
### MERGE CONFLICT, SMERGE CONFLICT
If you resolve a `package-lock.json` merge conflict with `npm install` we
now suggest you setup a merge driver to handle these automatically for you.
If you're reading this and you'd like to set it up now, run:
```console
npx npm-merge-driver install -g
```

## v5.8.0 (2018-03-08):
Hey again, everyone! While last release was focused largely around PRs from the
CLI team, this release is mostly pulling in community PRs in npm itself and its
dependencies! We've got a good chunk of wonderful contributions for y'all, and
even new features and performance improvements! 🎉
We're hoping to continue our biweekly (as in every-other-week biweekly) release
schedule from now on, so you should be seeing more steady npm releases from here
on out. And that's good, 'cause we've got a _ton_ of new stuff on our roadmap
for this year. Keep an eye out for exciting news. 👀
### FEATURES
* [`2f513fe1c`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f513fe1ce6db055b04a63fe4360212a83f77b34)

[#19929](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/19929)
Add support for the [`NO_COLOR` standard](http://no-color.org). This gives a
cross-application, consistent way of disabling ANSI color code output. Note
that npm already supported this through `--no-color` or
`npm_config_color='false'` configurations, so this is just another way to do
it.

### NPM CI
I hope y'all have been having fun with `npm ci` so far! Since this is the first
release since that went out, we've had a few fixes and improvements now that
folks have actually gotten their hands on it! Benchmarks have been super
promising so far, and I've gotten messages from a lot of you saying you've sped
up your CI work by **2-5x** in some cases! Have a good example? Tell us on
Twitter!
`npm ci` is, right now, [the fastest
installer](http://blog.npmjs.org/post/171556855892/introducing-npm-ci-for-faster-more-reliable)
you can use in CI situations, so go check it out if you haven't already! We'll
continue doing performance improvements on it, and a lot of those will help make
`npm install` fast as well. 🏎😎
* [`0d7f203d9`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0d7f203d9e86cc6c8d69107689ea60fc7cbab424)
`libcipm@1.6.0`
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
This `libcipm` release includes a number of improvements:
* **PERFORMANCE** Reduce calls to `read-package-json` and separate JSON update phase from man/bin linking phase. `npm ci` should be noticeably faster.
* **FEATURE** Progress bar now fills up as packages are installed, instead of sitting there doing nothing.
* **BUGFIX** Add support for `--only` and `--also` options.
* **BUFGIX** Linking binaries and running scripts in parallel was causing packages to sometimes clobber each other when hoisted, as well as potentially running too many run-scripts in parallel. This is now a serial operation, and it turns out to have had relatively little actual performance impact.
* **BUGFIX** Stop adding `_from` to directory deps (aka `file:packages/my-dep`).
### BUGFIXES
* [`58d2aa58d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/58d2aa58d5f9c4db49f57a5f33952b3106778669)
[#20027](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20027)
Use a specific mtime when packing tarballs instead of the beginning of epoch
time. This should allow `npm pack` to generate tarballs with identical hashes
for identical contents, while fixing issues with some `zip` implementations
that do not support pre-1980 timestamps.

## v5.7.1 (2018-02-22):
This release reverts a patch that could cause some ownership changes on system
files when running from some directories when also using `sudo`. 😲
Thankfully, it only affected users running `npm@next`, which is part of our
staggered release system, which we use to prevent issues like this from going
out into the wider world before we can catch them. Users on `latest` would have
never seen this!
The original patch was added to increase consistency and reliability of methods
npm uses to avoid writing files as `root` in places it shouldn't, but the change
was applied in places that should have used regular `mkdirp`. This release
reverts that patch.

## v5.7.0 (2018-02-20):
Hey y'all, it's been a while. Expect our release rate to increase back to
normal here, as we've got a lot in the pipeline. Right now we've got a
bunch of things from folks at npm. In the next release we'll be focusing on
user contributions and there are a lot of them queued up!
This release brings a bunch of exciting new features and bug fixes.
### PACKAGE-LOCK GIT MERGE CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Allow `npm install` to fix `package-lock.json` and `npm-shrinkwrap.json`
files that have merge conflicts in them without your having to edit them.
It works in conjunction with
[`npm-merge-driver`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-merge-driver) to
entirely eliminate package-lock merge conflicts.
* [`e27674c22`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e27674c221dc17473f23bffa50123e49a021ae34)
Automatically resolve merge conflicts in lock-files.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
### NPM CI
The new `npm ci` command installs from your lock-file ONLY. If your
`package.json` and your lock-file are out of sync then it will report an error.
It works by throwing away your `node_modules` and recreating it from scratch.
Beyond guaranteeing you that you'll only get what is in your lock-file it's
also much faster (2x-10x!) than `npm install` when you don't start with a
`node_modules`.
As you may take from the name, we expect it to be a big boon to continuous
integration environments. We also expect that folks who do production
deploys from git tags will see major gains.
* [`5e4de9c99`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/5e4de9c99c934e25ef7b9c788244cc3c993da559)
Add new `npm ci` installer.

[#19780](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/19780)
Add support for web-based logins. This is not yet available on the registry, however.
([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs))
### BIG FIXES TO PRUNING
* [`827951590`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8279515903cfa3026cf7096189485cdf29f74a8f)
Handle running `npm install package-name` with a `node_modules` containing
packages without sufficient metadata to verify their origin. The only way
to get install packages like this is to use a non-`npm` package manager.
Previously `npm` removed any packages that it couldn't verify. Now it
will leave them untouched as long as you're not asking for a full install.
On a full install they will be reinstalled (but the same versions will be
maintained).
This will fix problems for folks who are using a third party package
manager to install packages that have `postinstall` scripts that run
`npm install`.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`3b305ee71`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3b305ee71e2bf852ff3037366a1774b8c5fcc0a5)
Only auto-prune on installs that will create a lock-file. This restores
`npm@4` compatible behavior when the lock-file is disabled. When using a
lock-file `npm` will continue to remove anything in your `node_modules`
that's not in your lock-file. ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`cec5be542`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/cec5be5427f7f5106a905de8630e1243e9b36ef4)
Fix bug where `npm prune --production` would remove dev deps from the lock
file. It will now only remove them from `node_modules` not from your lock
file.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`857dab03f`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/857dab03f2d58586b45d41d3e5af0fb2d4e824d0)
Fix bug where git dependencies would be removed or reinstalled when
installing other dependencies.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
### BUG FIXES TO TOKENS AND PROFILES
* [`a66e0cd03`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a66e0cd0314893b745e6b9f6ca1708019b1d7aa3)
For CIDR filtered tokens, allow comma separated CIDR ranges, as documented. Previously
you could only pass in multiple cidr ranges with multiple `--cidr` command line options.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`d259ab014`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d259ab014748634a89cad5b20eb7a40f3223c0d5)
Fix token revocation when an OTP is required. Previously you had to pass
it in via `--otp`. Now it will prompt you for an OTP like other
`npm token` commands.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`f8b1f6aec`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f8b1f6aecadd3b9953c2b8b05d15f3a9cff67cfd)
Update token and profile commands to support legacy (username/password) authentication.
(The npm registry uses tokens, not username/password pairs, to authenticate commands.)
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
### OTHER BUG FIXES
* [`6954dfc19`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6954dfc192f88ac263f1fcc66cf820a21f4379f1)
Fix a bug where packages would get pushed deeper into the tree when upgrading without
an existing copy on disk. Having packages deeper in the tree ordinarily is harmless but
is not when peerDependencies are in play.

* [`1ca916a1e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1ca916a1e9cf94691d1ff2e5e9d0204cfaba39e1)
Fix bug where when switching from a linked module to a non-linked module, the dependencies
of the module wouldn't be installed on the first run of `npm install`.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`8c120ebb2`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8c120ebb28e87bc6fe08a3fad1bb87b50026a33a)

**Fully cross-platform `package-lock.json`**. Installing a failing optional
dependency on one platform no longer removes it from the dependency tree,

platforms! 🎉

[#18881](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/18881)
When dealing with a `node_modules` that was created with older versions of npm
(and thus older versions of npa) we need to gracefully handle older spec
entries. Failing to do so results in us treating those packages as if they
were http remote deps, which results in invalid lock files with `version` set
to tarball URLs. This should now be fixed.

### Refactors
Usually, we don't include internal refactor stuff in our release notes, but it's
worth calling out some of them because they're part of a larger effort the CLI
team and associates are undertaking to modularize npm itself so other package
managers and associated tools can reuse all that code!

from these subdirectories, and it'll only affect the root? It works like git!

## v5.5.0 (2017-10-04):
Hey y'all, this is a big new feature release! We've got some security
related goodies plus a some quality-of-life improvements for anyone who uses
the public registry (so, virtually everyone).
The changes largely came together in one piece, so I'm just gonna leave the commit line here:

Two factor authentication, profile editing and token management.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
### TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
You can now enable two-factor authentication for your npm account. You can
even do it from the CLI. In fact, you have to, for the time being:
```
npm profile enable-tfa
```
With the default two-factor authentication mode you'll be prompted to enter
a one-time password when logging in, when publishing and when modifying access rights to
your modules.
### TOKEN MANAGEMENT
You can now create, list and delete authentication tokens from the comfort
of the command line. Authentication tokens created this way can have NEW
restrictions placed on them. For instance, you can create a `read-only`
token to give to your CI. It will be able to download your private modules
but it won't be able to publish or modify modules. You can also create
tokens that can only be used from certain network addresses. This way you
can lock down access to your corporate VPN or other trusted machines.
Deleting tokens isn't new, you could [do it via the
website](https://www.npmjs.com/settings/tokens) but now you can do it via
the CLI as well.
### CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD, SET YOUR EMAIL
You can finally change your password from the CLI with `npm profile set
password`! You can also update your email address with `npm profile set
email <address>`. If you change your email address we'll send you a new
verification email so you verify that its yours.
### AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON YOUR PROFILE
You can also update all of the other attributes of your profile that
previously you could only update via the website: `fullname`, `homepage`,
`freenode`, `twitter` and `github`.
### AVAILABLE STAND ALONE
All of these features were implemented in a stand alone library, so if you
have use for them in your own project you can find them in
[npm-profile](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-profile) on the registry.
There's also a little mini-cli written just for it at
[npm-profile-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-profile-cli). You might
also be interested in the [API
documentation](https://github.com/npm/registry/tree/master/docs) for these
new features: [user profile editing](https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/user/profile.md) and
[authentication](https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/user/authentication.md).

`pacote@6.0.2`
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
## v5.4.0 (2017-08-22):
Here's another ~~small~~ big release, with a ~~handful~~ bunch of fixes and
a couple of ~~small~~ new features! 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)

[#16804](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16804)
`tar@4.0.1` Update publish to use tar@4. tar@4 brings many advantages
over tar@2: It's faster, better tested and easier to work with. 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.

The tests in `test/tap/lifecycle-signal.js`, as well as the features
they are testing, are partially broken. This moves them from
being skipped in CI to being disabled only for certain platforms.
In particular, because `npm` spawns its lifecycle scripts in a
shell, signals are not necessarily forwarded by the shell and
won’t cause scripts to exit; also, shells may report the signal
they receive using their exit status, rather than terminating
themselves with a signal.

Revert change where npm stopped flattening modules that required peerDeps.
This caused problems because folks were using peer deps to indicate that the
target of the peer dep needed to be able to require the dependency and had
been relying on the fact that peer deps didn't change the shape of the tree
(as of npm@3).
The fix that will actually work for people is for a peer dep to insist on
never being installed deeper than the the thing it relies on. At the moment
this is tricky because the thing the peer dep relies on may not yet have
been added to the tree, so we don't know where it is.

## v5.2.0 (2017-07-05):
It's only been a couple of days but we've got some bug fixes we wanted to
get out to you all. We also believe that
[`npx`](https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b) is ready to be bundled
with npm, which we're really excited about!
### npx!!!
npx is a tool intended to help round out the experience of using packages
from the npm registry — the same way npm makes it super easy to install and
manage dependencies hosted on the registry, npx is meant to make it easy to
use CLI tools and other executables hosted on the registry. It greatly
simplifies a number of things that, until now, required a bit of ceremony to
do with plain npm.

Stop flattening modules that have peer dependencies. We're making this

is flattened but the peer dependency itself is not, due to conflicts. In
those cases the module requiring the peer dep can't be flattened past the
location its peer dep was placed in. This initial fix is naive, never
flattening peer deps, and we can look into doing something more
sophisticated later on.

## v5.1.0 (2017-07-05):
Hey y'all~
We've got some goodies for you here, including `npm@5`'s first semver-minor
release! This version includes a huge number of fixes, particularly for some of
the critical bugs users were running into after upgrading npm. You should
overall see a much more stable experience, and we're going to continue hacking
on fixes for the time being. Semver-major releases, specially for tools like
npm, are bound to cause some instability, and getting `npm@5` stable is the CLI
team's top priority for now!
Not that bugfixes are the only things that landed, either: between improvements
that fell out of the bugfixes, and some really cool work by community members
like [@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov), `npm@5.1.0` is **_twice as
fast_** as `npm@5.0.0` in some benchmarks. We're not stopping there, either: you
can expect a steady stream of speed improvements over the course of the year.
It's not _top_ priority, but we'll keep doing what we can to make sure npm saves
its users as much time as possible.
Hang on to your seats. At **100 commits**, this release is a bit of a doozy. 😎
### FEATURES
Semver-minor releases, of course, mean that there's a new feature somewhere,
right? Here's what's bumping that number for us this time:
* [`a09c1a69d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a09c1a69df05b753464cc1272cdccc6af0f4da5a)
[#16687](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16687)
Allow customizing the shell used to execute `run-script`s.
([@mmkal](https://github.com/mmkal))
* [`4f45ba222`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4f45ba222e2ac6dbe6d696cb7a8e678bbda7c839) [`a48958598`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a489585985540deed4edc03418636c9e97aa9e40) [`901bef0e1`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/901bef0e1ea806fc08d8d58744a9f813b6c020ab)
[#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
Add a new `requires` field to `package-lock.json` with information about the
_logical_ dependency tree. This includes references to the specific version
each package is intended to see, and can be used for many things, such as
[converting `package-lock.json` to other lockfile
formats](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/880578566907248640), various
optimizations, and verifying correctness of a package tree.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`47e8fc8eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/47e8fc8eb9b5faccef9e03ab991cf37458c16249)
[#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
Make `npm ls` take package locks (and shrinkwraps) into account. This means
`npm ls` can now be used to see [which dependencies are
missing](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/880446509547794437), so long as
a package lock has been previously generated with it in.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`f0075e7ca`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f0075e7caa3e151424a254d7809ae4489ed8df90)
[#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
Take `package.json` changes into account when running installs -- if you
remove or add a dependency to `package.json` manually, npm will now pick that
up and update your tree and package lock accordingly.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`83a5455aa`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/83a5455aac3c5cc2511ab504923b652b13bd66a0)
[#17205](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17205)
Add `npm udpate` as an alias for `npm update`, for symmetry with
`install`/`isntall`.
([@gdassori](https://github.com/gdassori))
* [`57225d394`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/57225d394b6174eb0be48393d8e18da0991f67b6)
[#17120](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17120)
npm will no longer warn about `preferGlobal`, and the option is now
deprecated.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`82df7bb16`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/82df7bb16fc29c47a024db4a8c393e55f883744b)
[#17351](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17351)
As some of you may already know `npm build` doesn't do what a lot of people
expect: It's mainly an npm plumbing command, and is part of the more familiar
`npm rebuild` command. That said, a lot of users assume that this is the way
to run an npm `run-script` named `build`, which is an incredibly common script
name to use. To clarify things for users, and encourage them to use `npm run
build` instead, npm will now warn if `npm build` is run without any arguments.

### PERFORMANCE
* [`59f86ef90`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/59f86ef90a58d8dc925c9613f1c96e68bee5ec7b) [`43be9d222`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/43be9d2222b23ebb0a427ed91824ae217e6d077a) [`e906cdd98`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e906cdd980b4722e66618ce295c682b9a8ffaf8f)
[#16633](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16633)
npm now parallelizes tarball extraction across multiple child process workers.
This can significantly speed up installations, specially when installing from
cache, and will improve with number of processors.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`e0849878d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e0849878dd248de8988c2ef3fc941054625712ca)
[#17441](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17441)
Avoid building environment for empty lifecycle scripts. This change alone
accounted for as much as a 15% speed boost for npm installations by outright
skipping entire steps of the installer when not needed.
([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
* [`265c2544c`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/265c2544c8ded10854909243482e6437ed03c261)
[npm/hosted-git-info#24](https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/pull/24)
`hosted-git-info@2.5.0`: Add caching to `fromURL`, which gets called many,
many times by the installer. This improved installation performance by around
10% on realistic application repositories.
([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
* [`901d26cb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/901d26cb656e7e773d9a38ef4eac9263b95e07c8)
[npm/read-package-json#20](https://github.com/npm/read-package-json/pull/70)
`read-package-json@2.0.9`: Speed up installs by as much as 20% by
reintroducing a previously-removed cache and making it actually be correct
this time around.
([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
* [`44e37045d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/44e37045d77bc40adf339b423d42bf5e9b4d4d91)
Eliminate `Bluebird.promisifyAll` from our codebase.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`3b4681b53`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3b4681b53db7757985223932072875d099694677)
[#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
Stop calling `addBundle` on locked deps, speeding up the
`package-lock.json`-based fast path.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
### BUGFIXES
* [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
This is a big PR that fixes a variety of issues when installing from package
locks. If you were previously having issues with missing dependencies or
unwanted removals, this might have fixed it:
* It introduces a new `package-lock.json` field, called `requires`, which tracks which modules a given module requires.
* It fixes [#16839](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/16839) which was caused by not having this information available, particularly when git dependencies were involved.
* It fixes [#16866](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/16866), allowing the `package.json` to trump the `package-lock.json`.
* `npm ls` now loads the shrinkwrap, which opens the door to showing a full tree of dependencies even when nothing is yet installed. (It doesn't do that yet though.)
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`656544c31`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/656544c31cdef3cef64fc10c24f03a8ae2685e35) [`d21ab57c3`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d21ab57c3ef4f01d41fb6c2103debe884a17dc22)
[#16637](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16637)
Fix some cases where `npm prune` was leaving some dependencies unpruned if
to-be-pruned dependencies depended on them.
([@exogen](https://github.com/exogen))
* [`394436b09`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394436b098dcca2d252061f95c4eeb92c4a7027c)
[#17552](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17552)
Make `refresh-package-json` re-verify the package platform. This fixes an
issue most notably experienced by Windows users using `create-react-app` where
`fsevents` would not short-circuit and cause a crash during its
otherwise-skipped native build phase.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`9e5a94354`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/9e5a943547b29c8d022192afd9398b3a136a7e5a)
[#17590](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17590)
Fix an issue where `npm@5` would crash when trying to remove packages
installed with `npm@<5`.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
* [`c3b586aaf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c3b586aafa9eabac572eb6e2b8a7266536dbc65b)
[#17141](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17141)
Don't update the package.json when modifying packages that don't go there.
This was previously causing `package.json` to get a `"false": {}` field added.

## v5.0.3 (2017-06-05)
Happy Monday, y'all! We've got another npm release for you with the fruits of
our ongoing bugsquashing efforts. You can expect at least one more this week,
but probably more -- and as we announced last week, we'll be merging fixes more
rapidly into the `npmc` canary so you can get everything as soon as possible!
Hope y'all are enjoying npm5 in the meantime, and don't hesitate to file issues
for anything you find! The goal is to get this release rock-solid as soon as we
can. 💚
* [`6e12a5cc0`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6e12a5cc022cb5a157a37df7283b6d7b3d49bdab)

* `cacache`: content files (the tarballs) are now read-only.
* `pacote`: fix failing clones with bad heads, send extra TLS-related opts to proxy, enable global auth configurations and `_auth`-based auth.
* `ssri`: stop crashing with `can't call method find of undefined` when running into a weird `opts.integrity`/`opts.algorithms` conflict during verification.

([@Hirse](https://github.com/Hirse))
## v5.0.2 (2017-06-02)
Here's another patch release, soon after the other!
This particular release includes a slew of fixes to npm's git support, which was
causing some issues for a chunk of people, specially those who were using
self-hosted/Enterprise repos. 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!

non-hosted SCP-style identifiers are correctly handled. Previously, npa would

([@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
```

## v5.0.1 (2017-05-31):
Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying the new npm!
As you all know, fresh software that's gone through major overhauls tends to
miss a lot of spots the old one used to handle well enough, and `npm@5` is no
exception. The CLI team will be doing faster release cycles that go directly to
the `latest` tag for a couple of weeks while 5 stabilizes a bit and we're
confident the common low-hanging fruit people are running into are all taken
care of.
With that said: this is our first patch release! The biggest focus is fixing up
a number of git-related issues that folks ran into right out the door. It also
fixes other things, like some proxy/auth-related issues, and even has a neat
speed boost! (You can expect more speed bumps in the coming releases as pending
work starts landing, too!)
Thanks everyone who's been reporting issues and submitting patches!

## v5.0.0 (2017-05-25)
Wowowowowow npm@5!
This release marks months of hard work for the young, scrappy, and hungry CLI
team, and includes some changes we've been hoping to do for literally years.
npm@5 takes npm a pretty big step forward, significantly improving its
performance in almost all common situations, fixing a bunch of old errors due to
the architecture, and just generally making it more robust and fault-tolerant.
It comes with changes to make life easier for people doing monorepos, for users
who want consistency/security guarantees, and brings semver support to git
dependencies. See below for all the deets!
### Breaking Changes
* Existing npm caches will no longer be used: you will have to redownload any cached packages. There is no tool or intention to reuse old caches. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* `npm install ./packages/subdir` will now create a symlink instead of a regular installation. `file://path/to/tarball.tgz` will not change -- only directories are symlinked. ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
* npm will now scold you if you capitalize its name. seriously it will fight you.
* [npm will `--save` by default now](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/859229741676625920). Additionally, `package-lock.json` will be automatically created unless an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` exists. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* Git dependencies support semver through `user/repo#semver:^1.2.3` ([#15308](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15308)) ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666)) ([@sankethkatta](https://github.com/sankethkatta))
* Git dependencies with `prepare` scripts will have their `devDependencies` installed, and `npm install` run in their directory before being packed.
* `npm cache` commands have been rewritten and don't really work anything like they did before. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* `--cache-min` and `--cache-max` have been deprecated. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* Running npm while offline will no longer insist on retrying network requests. npm will now immediately fall back to cache if possible, or fail. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* package locks no longer exclude `optionalDependencies` that failed to build. This means package-lock.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json should now be cross-platform. ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
* If you generated your package lock against registry A, and you switch to registry B, npm will now try to [install the packages from registry B, instead of A](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/862834964932435969). If you want to use different registries for different packages, use scope-specific registries (`npm config set @myscope:registry=https://myownregist.ry/packages/`). Different registries for different unscoped packages are not supported anymore.
* Shrinkwrap and package-lock no longer warn and exit without saving the lockfile.
* Local tarballs can now only be installed if they have a file extensions `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, or `.tgz`.
* A new loglevel, `notice`, has been added and set as default.
* One binary to rule them all: `./cli.js` has been removed in favor of `./bin/npm-cli.js`. In case you were doing something with `./cli.js` itself. ([#12096](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12096)) ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* Stub file removed ([#16204](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16204)) ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* The "extremely legacy" `_token` couchToken has been removed. ([#12986](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12986))
### Feature Summary
#### Installer changes
* A new, standardised lockfile feature meant for cross-package-manager compatibility (`package-lock.json`), and a new format and semantics for shrinkwrap. ([#16441](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16441))
* `--save` is no longer necessary. All installs will be saved by default. You can prevent saving with `--no-save`. Installing optional and dev deps is unchanged: use `-D/--save-dev` and `-O/--save-optional` if you want them saved into those fields instead. Note that since npm@3, npm will automatically update npm-shrinkwrap.json when you save: this will also be true for `package-lock.json`. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
* Installing a package directory now ends up creating a symlink and does the Right Thing™ as far as saving to and installing from the package lock goes. If you have a monorepo, this might make things much easier to work with, and probably a lot faster too. 😁 ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
* Project-level (toplevel) `preinstall` scripts now run before anything else, and can modify `node_modules` before the CLI reads it.
* Two new scripts have been added, `prepack` and `postpack`, which will run on both `npm pack` and `npm publish`, but NOT on `npm install` (without arguments). Combined with the fact that `prepublishOnly` is run before the tarball is generated, this should round out the general story as far as putzing around with your code before publication.
* Git dependencies with `prepare` scripts will now [have their devDependencies installed, and their prepare script executed](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/860363896443371520) as if under `npm pack`.
* Git dependencies now support semver-based matching: `npm install git://github.com/npm/npm#semver:^5` (#15308, #15666)
* `node-gyp` now supports `node-gyp.cmd` on Windows ([#14568](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/14568))
* npm no longer blasts your screen with the whole installed tree. Instead, you'll see a summary report of the install that is much kinder on your shell real-estate. Specially for large projects. ([#15914](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15914)):
```
$ npm install
npm added 125, removed 32, updated 148 and moved 5 packages in 5.032s.
$
```
* `--parseable` and `--json` now work more consistently across various commands, particularly `install` and `ls`.
* Indentation is now [detected and preserved](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/860690502932340737) for `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, and `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. If the package lock is missing, it will default to `package.json`'s current indentation.
#### Publishing
* New [publishes will now include *both* `sha512`](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/863201943082065920) and `sha1` checksums. Versions of npm from 5 onwards will use the strongest algorithm available to verify downloads. [npm/npm-registry-client#157](https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/pull/157)
#### Cache Rewrite!
We've been talking about rewriting the cache for a loooong time. So here it is.
Lots of exciting stuff ahead. The rewrite will also enable some exciting future
features, but we'll talk about those when they're actually in the works. #15666
is the main PR for all these changes. Additional PRs/commits are linked inline.
* Package metadata, package download, and caching infrastructure replaced.
* It's a bit faster. [Hopefully it will be noticeable](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/865393382260056064). 🤔
* With the shrinkwrap and package-lock changes, tarballs will be looked up in the cache by content address (and verified with it).
* Corrupted cache entries will [automatically be removed and re-fetched](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/854933138182557696) on integrity check failure.
* npm CLI now supports tarball hashes with any hash function supported by Node.js. That is, it will [use `sha512` for tarballs from registries that send a `sha512` checksum as the tarball hash](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/858137093624573953). Publishing with `sha512` is added by [npm/npm-registry-client#157](https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/pull/157) and may be backfilled by the registry for older entries.
* Remote tarball requests are now cached. This means that even if you're missing the `integrity` field in your shrinkwrap or package-lock, npm will be able to install from the cache.
* Downloads for large packages are streamed in and out of disk. npm is now able to install packages of """any""" size without running out of memory. Support for publishing them is pending (due to registry limitations).
* [Automatic fallback-to-offline mode](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/854176565587984384). npm will seamlessly use your cache if you are offline, or if you lose access to a particular registry (for example, if you can no longer access a private npm repo, or if your git host is unavailable).
* A new `--prefer-offline` option will make npm skip any conditional requests (304 checks) for stale cache data, and *only* hit the network if something is missing from the cache.
* A new `--prefer-online` option that will force npm to revalidate cached data (with 304 checks), ignoring any staleness checks, and refreshing the cache with revalidated, fresh data.
* A new `--offline` option will force npm to use the cache or exit. It will error with an `ENOTCACHED` code if anything it tries to install isn't already in the cache.
* A new `npm cache verify` command that will garbage collect your cache, reducing disk usage for things you don't need (-handwave-), and will do full integrity verification on both the index and the content. This is also hooked into `npm doctor` as part of its larger suite of checking tools.
* The new cache is *very* fault tolerant and supports concurrent access.
* Multiple npm processes will not corrupt a shared cache.
* Corrupted data will not be installed. Data is checked on both insertion and extraction, and treated as if it were missing if found to be corrupted. I will literally bake you a cookie if you manage to corrupt the cache in such a way that you end up with the wrong data in your installation (installer bugs notwithstanding).
* `npm cache clear` is no longer useful for anything except clearing up disk space.
* Package metadata is cached separately per registry and package type: you can't have package name conflicts between locally-installed packages, private repo packages, and public repo packages. Identical tarball data will still be shared/deduplicated as long as their hashes match.
* HTTP cache-related headers and features are "fully" (lol) supported for both metadata and tarball requests -- if you have your own registry, you can define your own cache settings the CLI will obey!
* `prepublishOnly` now runs *before* the tarball to publish is created, after `prepare` has run.
