Release Notes

pnpm/pnpm (pnpm)

v12.9.1: pnpm 12.9.1

Compare Source

This release moves the WebContainer build into a separate @pnpm/wasm package, shrinks the pnpm package back to about 4 MB, and fixes pnpm publish with provenance from GitLab CI.

Patch Changes

• The WebAssembly build for StackBlitz WebContainers now ships as a separate @pnpm/wasm package. The pnpm and @pnpm/exe packages no longer include it, which brings their unpacked size back from about 55 MB to about 4 MB. In a WebContainer, install @pnpm/wasm with npm to get the pnpm command.

• pnpm publish with provenance from GitLab CI is no longer rejected by the npm registry with a 422 error. The provenance statement now includes the GitLab CI variables in invocation.parameters, as npm does #​16551.

• pnpm audit signatures now uses the TLS settings of the redirect target when a registry redirects its signing-keys request, for example to registry.npmjs.org. A cafile scoped to a private registry no longer makes the redirected request fail #​16541.

• Fixed pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting an up-to-date lockfile when an injected workspace package uses a catalog entry in peerDependencies #​16557.

• The [<since>] filter selector works again with Git 2.24 through 2.27 #​16561. With Git older than 2.24, the selector now fails with an error that names the required Git version.

  It also detects changes in projects whose directory names contain non-ASCII characters. Such a change used to be credited to the parent project. changedFilesIgnorePattern and testPattern now match changed files whose names contain non-ASCII characters.

• The pnpm executable is about 10% smaller. On macOS arm64 it went from 45.1 MB to 40.3 MB.

• Sped up trust downgrade checks for packages with long release histories.

• With optimisticRepeatInstall: false, pnpm install now runs the projects' own lifecycle scripts, such as prepare, even when node_modules is already up to date #​16545.

• pnpm self-update now fails for Homebrew-installed pnpm and prints the brew upgrade command for the installed formula, such as brew upgrade pnpm or brew upgrade pnpm@11. It used to install a second copy of pnpm that the Homebrew one kept shadowing #​16547.

v12.9.0: pnpm 12.9

Compare Source

This release runs pnpm in StackBlitz WebContainers, adds a per-registry networkConcurrency setting, and records every installed project in the store. It also carries a security fix for pnpm login.

Minor Changes

• pnpm now automatically uses WebAssembly in StackBlitz WebContainers, including when installation scripts are disabled. Native installations continue to use the native executable when installation scripts are enabled.

• A registries entry can now set networkConcurrency, the most requests pnpm keeps in flight to that registry's origin. Requests to other registries keep the overall limit. The setting may live in pnpm-workspace.yaml or the global config.yaml.

  registries:
    https://npm.corp.example.com/:
      scopes: ["@acme"]
      networkConcurrency: 4

• pnpm install now records every project it installs in the store's projects directory, as a symlink to the project directory. A --frozen-store install without the global virtual store still records nothing. Only projects that used the global virtual store were recorded before #​6929.

Patch Changes

• pnpm login no longer forwards credentials in its request body to another origin during redirects.

Installing packages

• Fixed pnpm install failing on Android with ERR_PNPM_STORE_DIR_ACQUIRE_OPERATION_LOCK #​16508.

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile again succeeds when a workspace project recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml has no directory, such as a project left out of a Docker build context. It still fails if the project's directory exists without a package.json #​16453.

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer requires a pnpm-lock.yaml in a project that has no dependencies. It also succeeds when pnpm-lock.yaml records only the pinned pnpm version, as other commands write it when they run before the first install #​16477.

• Fixed pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting a fresh lockfile when an injected workspace dependency has an optional peer supplied by another workspace project #​16428.

• With nodeLinker: hoisted, a filtered install now keeps the packages of the workspace projects an earlier install put in node_modules. This also covers the install that pnpm --filter <selector> run and pnpm --filter <selector> exec start before the command. Before, these installs removed every package that only the unselected projects needed #​16483.

• pnpm install with nodeLinker: hoisted now refreshes directories supplied by custom fetchers when reinstalling. pnpm also keeps the symlinks inside those directories.

• With enableGlobalVirtualStore on, scripts can run entry points that a CommonJS require hook loads again, such as ts-node index.ts. They failed with ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION on Node.js versions without built-in TypeScript support #​16436.

• pnpm now keeps each project's current lockfile and hidden hoisted dependencies in its own node_modules/.pnpm when virtualStoreDir points at a shared global virtual store. --virtual-store-dir now sets the global virtual store's location too pnpm/tasks#47.

• pnpm clean no longer deletes the project when virtualStoreDir or globalVirtualStoreDir is set to the project directory. It also leaves a directory outside the project alone when the setting reaches it through a symlink. It now removes a global virtual store that globalVirtualStoreDir places inside the project, as it does for virtualStoreDir.

Optional dependencies

• pnpm install no longer fails when a dependency of an optional dependency is missing from the registry. Like npm, pnpm now leaves out the nearest optional dependency above it, together with its subtree #​16511.

• When an optional dependency fails to build, pnpm now removes its link from node_modules. A repeat pnpm install then reports "Already up to date" and no longer reruns the failing build #​16468.

• pnpm install now prints a warning with the error when an optional dependency cannot be fetched and is skipped. The skipped package is no longer counted in the Packages: +N summary. The pnpm:skipped-optional-dependency log reports the skip with the fetch_failure reason #​16514.

Resolving dependencies

• Fixed pnpm install changing an unchanged project's direct dependency to a sibling workspace's pinned version when its dependency tree contains a cycle #​16417.

• With autoDedupe enabled, downgrading a dependency in one workspace project now moves the other projects to that version when it satisfies their ranges. This also applies to a filtered pnpm --filter <project> add #​16432.

• pnpm install and pnpm dedupe now move an optional peer to the version already in the dependency graph when no other package provides its locked version anymore. After a bump such as vue 3.5.40 to 3.5.43, the lockfile kept a second copy of @vue/server-renderer for @vue/test-utils #​16443.

• pnpm dedupe --check no longer fails right after pnpm install when a project's optional peer is satisfied by a package another workspace project installs. pnpm dedupe now picks the same versions for that package's dependencies as pnpm install #​16447.

• pnpm install no longer re-resolves an up-to-date lockfile on every run when a patched package is a peer in a peer cycle #​16418.

• With autoDedupe enabled, pnpm install --lockfile-only no longer resolves the dependency graph again when nothing changed since an earlier --lockfile-only install deduplicated the lockfile. Such an install keeps the lockfile even if versions were published since it was written, or if only a setting such as resolutionMode changed. Run pnpm dedupe to apply such a change #​16458.

Speed and network

• A repeat pnpm install in a large workspace reports "Already up to date" faster #​16487.

• Sped up dependency resolution of workspaces with many peer dependencies.

• pnpm install sends fewer registry metadata requests when the lockfile already decides which version a range resolves to. This now also covers ranges that several locked versions satisfy when one of them outranks the others, and direct dependencies kept at their locked version. Packages that minimumReleaseAgeExclude lists without a version now reuse cached registry metadata the same way they do when minimumReleaseAge is not set #​16458.

• pnpm no longer downloads every packument again on each install from a registry whose metadata responses forbid caching, such as Cache-Control: no-store. pnpm revalidates the cached metadata with a conditional request, so a registry that supports conditional requests answers with a 304 when the package has not changed #​16528.

• Cached metadata for a package published within minimumReleaseAge is now revalidated with its ETag, so the npm registry can answer 304 Not Modified. Before, the next install that checked the cache downloaded the whole document again #​16506.

• A fetch timeout while other downloads from the same host are still running now lowers concurrency for that host to one connection. Retries of that request, and later downloads from that host, use the lower concurrency. Other hosts keep the configured concurrency #​12791.

• Sped up pnpm install --offline when the version a range picks is not in the store. While it looks for a version the store holds, pnpm now reads only the versions the range admits #​16495.

• pnpm install --offline now reuses config dependency tarballs that are already present in the store pnpm/tasks#46.

Running scripts

• pnpm -s <script> runs the script again, with -s meaning --sequential as it does for pnpm run -s <script>. pnpm rejected it with "unexpected argument '-s' found" #​16446.

• pnpm run and pnpm exec now warn and run the command when the install that verifyDepsBeforeRun starts fails. This lets scripts run in sandboxes where pnpm cannot install, such as containers with a read-only store or no network #​15173.

• A filtered pnpm run or pnpm exec now finds dependencies out of date when a workspace dependency of a selected project has no node_modules directory, as after a filtered install. With verifyDepsBeforeRun: install, pnpm installs that dependency before running the command pnpm/tasks#45.

• Scripts run without a terminal no longer start a second sh each. One watchdog per pnpm command now ends every script's process group if pnpm is killed, so pnpm -r run across many projects starts half as many processes #​16489.

• Terminate batch job (Y/N)? no longer appears after pressing Ctrl+C in a script started with pnpm from PowerShell or cmd on Windows #​16502.

• pnpm rebuild and pnpm approve-builds refresh command launchers when a build changes a command's interpreter or replaces it with a native executable. Dependent packages' build scripts use the refreshed launchers.

• When pnpm run <script> or pnpm <script> finds nothing to run and --filter follows the script name, the error now suggests putting the filter option before the script name #​4655.

• Package-name filters now support ? to match one character #​2817.

The pinned pnpm and pnpm self-update

• pnpm no longer downloads the project's pinned pnpm version again on every command when nodeVersion in pnpm-workspace.yaml names a different Node.js major than the node on PATH. Before, each of those commands took about a second longer and failed without network access #​16497.

• Several pnpm commands started at once in a project that pins packageManager no longer fail with The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process on Windows while the pinned pnpm is being installed.

• pnpm can now switch to a packageManager version below 11 on x64 musl Linux, such as Alpine #​16467.

• A devEngines.packageManager range no longer makes pnpm replace the version recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml with the running pnpm while the recorded version still satisfies the range. When pnpm does record a version, it records the running pnpm only if it meets minimumReleaseAge. Otherwise it records the newest version in the range that meets it, or the running pnpm if none does #​16431.

• On Windows, pnpm self-update now replaces a pnpm.exe left in PNPM_HOME or in PNPM_HOME\bin. Windows ran that executable in place of the updated pnpm.cmd shim, so pnpm --version kept printing the old version after a successful update. If the executable was in PNPM_HOME, self-update now asks you to run pnpm setup #​9094.

• pnpm self-update now checks that a version installed as the JavaScript pnpm can start before making it the global pnpm. If Node.js is missing, the update fails and the current pnpm stays in place.

Other commands

• pnpm deploy now finds patches and local dependencies when the target directory sits under a symlink, such as /tmp on macOS. It failed with ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NOT_FOUND #​16470.

• pnpm deploy --legacy now resolves the deployed project's relative file:, link:, and path dependencies from the project's own directory #​16475.

• pnpm update --global now removes hard-linked executables from PNPM_HOME when migrating packages from the old global layout #​16420.

• pnpm store prune no longer fails on store index entries that pnpm 11 wrote for git-hosted packages without a package.json. Entries that still cannot be read are kept and counted in the prune summary.

• pnpm store prune now aborts when an error other than a missing directory occurs while scanning project directories in the mark phase.

• pnpm config get and pnpm config list now report a setting given on the command line with --config.<name>=<value>. Before, a value such as --config.node-linker=hoisted reached the install but was absent from the reported configuration #​16276.

• pnpm -r pkg get now reports every selected project when several share a package name. Projects with the same name are keyed by their directory relative to the workspace root. Before, only one of them appeared in the output.

• The install summary shows a link: dependency as + name <- path, and the Node.js API's hideLinkedPkgsDiff reporter option leaves matching linked dependencies out of the summary.

• The --force help text of pnpm install and pnpm add now says that --force keeps skipping optional dependencies built for other platforms. It points to forceIgnoresPlatform and the --os, --cpu, and --libc options for installing them #​16435.

• The homepage field of the published pnpm package points to https://pnpm.io again.

v12.8.2: pnpm 12.8.2

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.2 fixes a startup crash on Linux ppc64le and UnknownIssuer errors on systems without CA certificates. pnpm run no longer installs before every script on CI when autoDedupe is enabled, and resolution and hoisted installs on macOS are faster.

Patch Changes

Platforms and environments

• Fixed pnpm crashing on startup on Linux ppc64le #​16380.

• Fixed installs failing with UnknownIssuer on Linux systems without CA certificates, such as node:24-slim, when NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS is set. The extra certificates now extend the bundled CA roots #​16365.

• pnpm now creates its store operation locks and other per-user lock files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR when it points to a directory only the user can write to. Otherwise, pnpm still uses /tmp on Linux and macOS. Sandboxes that block writes to /tmp can point XDG_RUNTIME_DIR at a writable directory #​16390.

• POSIX bin shims and the pnpm, pn, pnpx, and pnx launchers now run inside a Nix build, where the system default path holds none of the utilities they call. Installing again replaces the shims already in node_modules #​16377.

• In a project that pins another pnpm version, pnpm now passes a command with an option it does not know to the pinned version. Before, pnpm rejected the option before switching, so pnpm install --auto-dedupe failed with "Unknown option" even though the pinned pnpm supports it #​16353.

Installing and resolving dependencies

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now fails when Cargo.lock does not satisfy a dependency requirement in Cargo.toml. The error names the crate and the version the lockfile holds #​16355.

• pnpm install returns "Already up to date" again in a workspace with injected workspace dependencies and a shared lockfile. Since 12.7.0 every repeat install in such a workspace ran the full install and copied the injected projects again.

• With injectWorkspacePackages: true, a fresh pnpm install now records a workspace dependency as link: when its injected copy differs from the project only by an optional peer that peer-dependent dedupe merges. It was recorded as a peer-suffixed file: copy #​16354.

• pnpm dedupe --check now passes right after pnpm dedupe when deduplication merges variants of a package that differ only in their peers. A lockfile key whose peer suffix named a merged variant now names the variant that replaced it #​16356.

• When minimumReleaseAge hides the version that latest points to, pnpm now falls back to a prerelease of the same major before a stable version of an older major. A stable version of the same major is still preferred. Before, while a new 1.0.0 was too new, latest fell back to an old 0.0.1 even though 1.0.0-beta.4 had been latest until then #​16388.

• Git-hosted dependencies now respect pmOnFail. If it is set to anything other than download, a git-hosted dependency that pins a pnpm version is prepared by the running pnpm, and pnpm does not download the pinned version #​16376.

• pnpmfile hooks such as readPackage now run once for a dependency that several packages request at the same time. They could run twice for it before.

• childConcurrency now defaults to 5, the documented value. It used to be capped at 4 and to follow the host's CPU count.

Running scripts

• pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install dependencies before every script on CI when autoDedupe is enabled. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now keeps the deduplication record left by an earlier install #​16374.

• On macOS and Linux, lifecycle scripts and pnpm run now always get PATH from the PATH variable. When the environment also held a Path variable, a script sometimes got Path's value, and failed with node: not found #​16308.

• pnpm run now exits after a SIGTERM in a container where pnpm is PID 1 and the script runs pnpm again, as "start": "pnpm serve" does. Since 12.6.0 it kept waiting after the script had shut down, until the container runtime killed it.

Other commands and settings

• pnpm config get globalShims, pnpm shim list, and global installs no longer read globalShims from a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml. Only the global config file, the pnpm home's own pnpm-workspace.yaml, and PNPM_CONFIG_GLOBAL_SHIMS set it, so a repository cannot choose which globally installed packages get project-aware shims.

• pnpm config set --location=project refuses a machine-level setting such as stateDir or scope with ERR_PNPM_CONFIG_SET_NOT_A_PROJECT_SETTING, which names where the setting belongs. pnpm config delete still clears such a key from a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml.

• pnpm deploy no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_DEPLOY_AMBIGUOUS_PEER in a workspace with injectWorkspacePackages: true when a workspace package lists its peer dependency as a dev dependency too #​16375.

• pnpm deploy no longer copies the workspace root's packageManager and devEngines.packageManager fields into the deployed package.json #​16403.

• pnpm publish now includes bare README files and README files with Markdown extensions such as readme.markdown in registry metadata #​12704.

• pnpm store prune now removes the packages that only expired pnpm dlx cache entries used. They were left in the store until the next pnpm store prune #​16383.

Performance

• Sped up dependency resolution in large workspaces, and when many dependencies request different ranges of the same package. Resolution also uses less memory.

• Sped up pnpm install with nodeLinker: hoisted on macOS when the lockfile is re-resolved, such as with autoDedupe enabled #​16397.

• Sped up extracting package tarballs.

• pnpm install without --frozen-lockfile is faster on some machines in projects with a pnpm-workspace.yaml. Those installs linked with one worker thread per core, half of what a frozen install uses.

• On Windows, warm pnpm install --frozen-lockfile runs are 4-5% faster on 4- and 8-core machines. pnpm now links with one worker thread per core on Windows, between 4 and 16. This changes frozen installs and installs in projects without a pnpm-workspace.yaml on machines with 3 to 15 cores.

v12.8.1: pnpm 12.8.1

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.1 fixes pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting lockfiles with injected workspace packages that have peers, restores the executable bit on files of local directory dependencies, makes pnpm dedupe converge, and uses less CPU on many-core machines.

Patch Changes

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer rejects a freshly generated lockfile when an injected workspace package has peer dependencies #​16332.

• Executable files in a file: directory dependency or an injected workspace package keep their executable bit again. Since 12.8.0, pnpm installed these files without the permissions they have in their project.

• pnpm dedupe now reaches a stable lockfile when a package's peer suffix is long enough to be hashed. Before, each run could switch that package's key between the hashed and the spelled-out suffix, so pnpm dedupe --check always failed #​16331.

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, the default in CI, now uses less CPU on machines with more than 8 cores. Warm installs on many-core Windows machines got up to 10% faster. Frozen installs now link with at most 16 worker threads.

• verifyDepsBeforeRun no longer reports dependencies as outdated after a filtered install just because pnpm-lock.yaml has a newer modification time. It checks the lockfile against the packages that install put in place. Before, pnpm run reinstalled the whole workspace with lifecycle scripts on, for example after a Docker COPY brought in a lockfile with a newer mtime #​16322.

  After a filtered install, verifyDepsBeforeRun now also checks that the install put the selected projects' dependencies in place. A node_modules directory alone no longer counts as proof.

• pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install a project that has never been installed and has nothing to install. Such a project declares no dependencies, no peer dependencies that autoInstallPeers would fetch, and no install lifecycle scripts. The command now runs without writing node_modules or pnpm-lock.yaml #​16313.

• pnpm update -g --latest now upgrades globally installed packages beyond their saved version ranges #​16320.

v12.8.0: pnpm 12.8

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.0 warns when pnpm pack or pnpm publish would ship a .env file that files does not list, installs sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false workspaces concurrently, applies every setting passed as --config.<name>=<value>, and no longer leaves the Windows terminal stuck after Ctrl+C in a script.

Minor Changes

• pnpm pack and pnpm publish now warn when the tarball includes a .env or .env.* file that the files field of package.json does not list. Templates such as .env.example are not reported. List the file in files to publish it on purpose, or exclude it in .npmignore or .gitignore #​7826.

• pnpm pack now honors --silent, --reporter=silent, and --loglevel=silent to hide the tarball contents and summary. With --json, lifecycle script output and the final JSON output remain visible #​10297.

Patch Changes

Installing packages

• Installing through a pnpr server now records the pnpmfile checksum in the lockfile, so a later pnpm install --frozen-lockfile accepts that lockfile #​14460. A frozen install through the pnpr server now fails if the pnpmfile changed. If the pnpmfile defines a readPackage, afterAllResolved or preResolution hook or custom resolvers, pnpm resolves dependencies locally and prints a warning that the pnpr server was not used.

  Installing through a pnpr server also links a workspace project at the directory its publishConfig.directory names. A server that does not forward the setting makes the install fail with ERR_PNPM_PNPR_PUBLISH_DIRECTORY_MISMATCH, so pnpm never writes a lockfile that points at the wrong directory. The server rejects a publishConfig.directory that points outside its project.

• Installing a git-hosted dependency that has to be built no longer fails when that dependency's own dependencies have build scripts nobody approved. pnpm skips those builds while preparing the dependency, as it does without strictDepBuilds #​9764.

• A git-hosted dependency that is a pnpm workspace with no committed lockfile is now detected as a pnpm project #​14011.

• pnpm install --dev and pnpm fetch --dev now install the optional dependencies of devDependencies, such as the platform binaries of Biome and oxlint. The project's own optionalDependencies are still skipped #​9678.

• pnpm install --offline and pnpm add --offline now resolve a version range to the newest matching version whose tarball is already in the store. They used to pick the newest version in the cached metadata and fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_TARBALL when its tarball was missing #​10715.

• If an offline install fails because the registry metadata cache uses the layout from before pnpm 11.27 and 12.4, the error now names the older mirror on disk and explains that one online install repopulates the cache. The error also carries the ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META code. pnpm cache prune --help now says that pnpm 11.26 and earlier, and pnpm 12.3 and earlier, depend on the directories it removes #​15656.

• Running pnpm install now refreshes dependencies when a package declared with a local file: directory changes its dependencies #​4623.

• A repeat pnpm install now keeps its fast up-to-date check when an override replaces a declared local file: dependency #​12892.

• pnpm install now removes an optional dependency from node_modules if its install script fails. Code that checks whether the package is installed no longer finds a package that cannot load #​8756.

• With nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install now restores a workspace project's node_modules after it was deleted. Before, the install printed "Already up to date" and left the project without the dependencies nested under it. On Windows, the install also no longer fails with "Access is denied" when another project's copy of a shared dependency links to the deleted directory.

• Under nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install now clears orphaned package directories that an interrupted or failed install leaves in a project's node_modules. A directory recorded by the previous install is removed, while an unrecorded directory is moved to node_modules/.ignored. A copy already in .ignored is never overwritten #​13676.

• Concurrent installs no longer fail when they replace the same stale hoisted dependency link. Virtual store cleanup now keeps the temporary lockfiles that concurrent installs write.

Resolving and linking dependencies

• pnpm install no longer aborts on a failed allocation of many gigabytes when peer dependency ranges combine overlapping || alternatives #​15867.

• pnpm install no longer fails when a package from the registry declares a file: dependency on a directory inside itself, such as "@types/css-tree": "file:./typings/css-tree". pnpm links that dependency to the directory inside the package, as npm and Yarn do. The lockfile records it as link:<root>/typings/css-tree #​9141.

• An npm: alias written by overrides now stays in place when a change elsewhere makes pnpm re-res
