Minor Changes

• Added pnpm cache path, which prints the directory pnpm uses for its metadata cache. CI setups can use it to cache that directory — including the lockfile verification log, which lets a job skip re-checking an unchanged lockfile against the configured supply-chain policies.

• --config.config-dir no longer reaches the config through a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml, and neither do the --config. spellings of the other settings a project manifest may no longer contribute (--config.pnpm-home-dir, --config.workspace-dir, --config.global-pkg-dir, --config.root-project-manifest-dir). None of them was ever a supported way to set those directories: pnpm resolves them from the environment, and these flags took effect only because the project-manifest merge re-applied the command line afterwards. The dedicated flags, such as --dir and --global-dir, are unaffected #​13629.

• pnpm config set refuses to write a setting to a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml that pnpm does not read from there, rather than leaving a key in the file that does nothing. Those settings are configDir, pnpmHomeDir, stateDir and the others that name machine-level state. The command fails with ERR_PNPM_CONFIG_SET_NOT_A_PROJECT_SETTING, naming where the setting does belong when it belongs somewhere. pnpm config delete still clears one that a file already carries, in whichever spelling it uses #​13629.

• Added a new setting minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune. When enabled, pnpm add, pnpm update, and pnpm remove prune the entries of minimumReleaseAgeExclude in pnpm-workspace.yaml that the freshly written lockfile no longer resolves: versions that are gone are dropped (an entry is removed once none of its versions remain), and entries for packages that are no longer in the lockfile are removed too. Name patterns (@scope/*) are always kept. The cleanup is skipped when the install's lockfile does not cover the whole workspace (sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false), since entries another project still needs would look stale.

  Renamed cleanupUnusedCatalogs to catalogPrune, so that catalog pruning and release-age exclude pruning use one vocabulary. cleanupUnusedCatalogs continues to work; when both are set, catalogPrune wins.

• A project's pnpm-workspace.yaml can no longer choose where pnpm keeps its credentials, its own installation, or the registry it downloads its next version from. One of those settings is configDir, which decided where pnpm login writes the granted token. bin, dir, globalBinDir, globalDir, npmrcAuthFile, pnpmHomeDir, stateDir, userconfig and workspaceDir are ignored there now too, and pnpm warns about the ones it finds. cacheDir and storeDir are unaffected #​13629.

• Resolving a Node.js runtime version (devEngines.runtime / runtime: specifiers) is now much faster: the per-version release metadata is cached in the pnpm cache directory after its signature is verified, and an exact stable version such as runtime:22.23.2 no longer downloads the Node.js release index. A pinned runtime whose metadata was fetched once resolves without any network access, which removes the noticeable delay on the first node invocation in a project pinning an already-downloaded runtime #​13899.

Patch Changes

• Fixed intermittent ERR_PNPM_ENOENT and ERR_PNPM_ENOTEMPTY errors while renaming _tmp_* directories during installation with nodeLinker: hoisted, in workspaces that also use patchedDependencies.

• pnpm add no longer re-resolves the dependency graph when pnpm-lock.yaml already holds a version satisfying the request — promoting a transitive dependency to a direct one, or adding to a second workspace package what a first one already depends on, now only saves the dependency in package.json and records its importer entry. A satisfying locked version is necessary but not sufficient: the install still falls back to a full resolution for a dist tag, an alias, a workspace:/catalog:/git/tarball specifier, --save-peer, an overridden package, a catalogMode other than manual, and — under resolutionMode: time-based or lowest-direct, which resolve a direct dependency to the low end of its range — a range several locked versions satisfy.

• Global installs now switch over atomically. The command shims in the global bin directory point at a stable per-package link rather than at the directory a particular install produced, so pnpm add -g and pnpm update -g activate a new version by moving that one link instead of rewriting every shim. A command can no longer be missing from PATH while an install is in progress, and a failed install leaves the previous version in place.

• pnpm audit --fix and pnpm audit --fix update no longer add minimumReleaseAgeExclude entries for patched versions that were published before the minimumReleaseAge cutoff. The publish time of each minimum patched version is now checked against the registry metadata, and only versions young enough to be blocked by the age gate get an exclusion entry #​11563.

• pnpm add <pkg>@<version> and pnpm update <pkg>@<version> under a non-manual catalogMode now move the catalog entry's resolution to the requested version. Previously, when the catalog entry was a range that covered the requested version but resolved to a different one, the request was dropped silently: nothing was installed, nothing was written, and no error was raised.

• A project that wasn't part of an install that moved a catalog entry now follows the entry the next time it is installed. It used to keep the version the entry resolved to before — a version the entry no longer allowed — and no later install corrected it, so one catalog entry ended up resolved to two versions.

• pnpm add <pkg>@<version> and pnpm update <pkg>@<version> under catalogMode: strict no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_CATALOG_VERSION_MISMATCH when the catalog entry is a range that the wanted version satisfies. The dependency keeps using the catalog; only a version that really falls outside the catalog's range is rejected #​13715.

• A changed catalogs or pnpm.overrides block no longer has to be the only change for pnpm install to update the lockfile in place. Editing an override while also removing a dependency, or changing a catalog entry in the same commit as a range bump, is now absorbed in one pass instead of re-resolving the whole dependency graph #​13799.

  Fixed the lockfile an in-place override update wrote when the overridden package was also a catalog entry: the entry kept the version it had before the override moved the package. The same could happen in reverse, when a catalog entry moved a package an override pins. Both cases now re-resolve instead.

• pnpm install now updates the lockfile in place even when several kinds of changes happened since the last install — for example a removed dependency together with a widened ignoredOptionalDependencies list, or a dependency edit alongside a patch or settings change. Previously any combination of changes forced a full re-resolution #​13763.

• pnpm deploy injects workspace dependencies again, so the deploy directory is self-contained instead of symlinking back into the source workspace #​13754. Enabling injectWorkspacePackages with dedupeInjectedDeps disabled now also rewrites already-linked workspace dependencies to injected copies.

• pnpm deploy --no-optional no longer writes a lockfile whose snapshots reference optional dependencies that the deploy excluded.

• Removing the last dependency that references a catalog entry via the fast lockfile update no longer leaves the stale catalog entry in pnpm-lock.yaml.

• A git dependency whose clone (or shallow fetch) fails now reports which package it belongs to, under the ERR_PNPM_GIT_FETCH_FAILED code, with credentials in the repository URL redacted. When the lockfile records an SSH remote, the error also explains that fetching it needs an SSH key for that host, and that a lockfile entry written before pnpm v11.21 can be re-recorded over HTTPS with pnpm update <package> #​13743.

• An integrity recorded on a git dependency's resolution (resolution: {type: git, repo, commit, integrity: sha512-…}) is no longer treated as a checksum. pnpm never verifies a git checkout against such a hash — the commit pins the content — so it is now dropped when the lockfile is rewritten, and pnpm sbom no longer republishes it as a CycloneDX/SPDX checksum. Lockfiles carrying one also load again instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_BROKEN_LOCKFILE #​13042.

  pnpm sbom now also publishes the checksum of a type: binary runtime archive, which pnpm does verify.

• A git dependency whose git ls-remote fails now reports the ERR_PNPM_GIT_RESOLVE_FAILED code, naming the dependency instead of printing a bare git invocation, with credentials in the repository URL redacted. A specifier that does not ask for SSH resolves over HTTPS, because the URL recorded in the lockfile has to work on every machine that installs it, so the error explains how to substitute the transport on a machine that can only reach the host over SSH (git config --global url."git@<host>:".insteadOf "https://<host>/") #​13743.

  A missing git executable is reported as one, instead of surfacing the raw failure to start the process.

  Credentials embedded in a git specifier are redacted from the "Could not resolve <ref> to a commit of <repo>" errors too.

  Resolving a public repository makes one git ls-remote round-trip instead of two.

• pnpm install after moving a dependency between dependencies, devDependencies, and optionalDependencies now updates the lockfile in place instead of re-resolving the whole dependency graph #​13696.

• syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_INODE_TYPE when a workspace package contains an inode that is neither a file nor a directory, such as the FIFO 1Password's environments create for .env. Such an inode cannot be hardlinked into the injected copy, so it is skipped and the rest of the package still syncs #​13550.

  syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts also no longer fails with EEXIST when a workspace package replaced a file with a directory of the same name since the injected copy was last synced.

• syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts no longer fails with ENOTDIR when a workspace package replaced a directory with a file of the same name and the injected copy still held that directory's contents.

• syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts now removes the bin link of a bin the script dropped. Previously only new bins were linked, so a build step that stopped declaring one left its shim behind, pointing at a command that was no longer there.

• syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts now identifies a file by its device as well as its inode number. An inode number is only unique within one filesystem, so on its own it could match an unrelated file on another device and leave that path stale in the injected copy.

• pnpm store prune no longer deletes the lockfile verification log. The log records which lockfile passed which supply-chain policies, so it stays valid across a prune of the store; keeping it lets the next install skip re-verifying an unchanged lockfile.

• Widening a dependency's range no longer leaves the project on an older version. The lockfile update now points the project at the highest version of that dependency already in the lockfile that satisfies the new range — matching what a full resolution records — instead of keeping the locked version whenever it happened to satisfy, which could leave a duplicate behind. A range change that only an already-locked version satisfies is now also handled without re-resolving #​13778.

• resolutionMode is no longer ignored when minimumReleaseAge is in effect. lowest-direct and time-based pick the lowest satisfying version of a direct dependency again; previously any active release-age cutoff — including the built-in default — silently forced the highest, so resolutionMode only worked when minimumReleaseAge: 0 was set explicitly #​13752.

• Adding a package to a workspace no longer forces a full re-resolution when every dependency it declares is already locked for a sibling. The lockfile update writes the new project's importer entry from the versions the lockfile already holds; a dependency no locked version satisfies still reaches the resolver #​13696.

• pnpm config delete <key> no longer fails with ENOENT when the config file it would edit does not exist. Clearing a setting that was never set is a no-op #​13651.

• Changing a pnpm.overrides entry to a version range now updates the lockfile in place when a version the lockfile already holds satisfies the range, instead of re-resolving the whole dependency graph. Only exact versions were handled before #​13696.

• Changing a parent-scoped pnpm.overrides entry ("parent>child": "2.0.0") now updates the lockfile in place instead of re-resolving the whole dependency graph. Only the named parent's dependency moves; every other package keeps the version it had #​13795.

• Removing a dependency, or moving one to another already-locked version, no longer re-resolves the whole dependency graph just because some package resolves a peer with the same name. The lockfile update now compares the peer suffixes against the exact name@version the removal severed, so a suffix that names a different — still present — version of that dependency is left alone #​13781.

• Projects with a pnpmfile now use the fast lockfile update paths: an unchanged pnpmfile (proven by the recorded pnpmfileChecksum) no longer forces a full re-resolution for removals, dependency group moves, compatible range changes, and the other in-place lockfile rewrites #​13696.

• A lockfile entry whose resolution is unchanged no longer loses its recorded deprecated marker when a registry serves the package's metadata inconsistently — re-resolving to the same version keeps the deprecation instead of silently dropping the line #​13846.

• pnpm prune is now recursive by default inside a workspace, just like pnpm install. This fixes pnpm prune --prod in a workspace root emptying the node_modules directories of the other workspace projects, dropping the links to the workspace packages they depend on in production #​13718.

• A setting written in kebab-case in the global config.yaml is now reported instead of being silently ignored #​13650.

• pnpm remove no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. The removed dependency's entries are dropped from pnpm-lock.yaml and anything they made unreachable is pruned, without registry access. The install still falls back to a full resolution when a surviving package resolves a peer dependency through the removed one.

• Removing a package from a workspace no longer forces a full re-resolution. The lockfile update drops the departed project's importer entry and prunes whatever only it depended on. A project that is still linked from a surviving project continues to be reported as an error #​13696.

• An install sharing a global virtual store no longer removes an incomplete package directory that another importer is still writing, which could fail with failed to remove existing directory ... prior to swap: Directory not empty. Such a directory is now repaired in place, and a package file left damaged by an interrupted install is restored instead of being kept.

• pnpm sbom no longer emits components for optional platform-specific dependencies that cannot be installed on the current platform (for example, the native @rolldown/binding-* variants for other operating systems). Such packages are present in the lockfile but are never downloaded, so their license (and other metadata) could not be resolved and they appeared in the SBOM without one. pnpm sbom --lockfile-only still describes the whole lockfile graph, which is platform-independent by design.

• An ssh:// git dependency pointing at a bracketed IPv6 host, such as ssh://[::1]/repo.git, is resolved now. Its colons were read as an SCP-style path separator, which turned the address into [:/1] and left the specifier unresolvable. Applies to both the TypeScript CLI and pacquet.

  In the TypeScript CLI, an ssh:// git dependency written without user info — ssh://git.example.com/team/repo.git, git+ssh://git.example.com:2222/team/repo.git — no longer fails with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'includes'). Only the user@host form worked before.

• packageExtensions is now validated when the configuration is read, so a malformed entry (for instance a dependency range set to null) fails with an actionable error instead of crashing later during peer dependency resolution #​13756.

• Projects using resolutionMode: time-based now benefit from the fast lockfile update paths. A removal, a dependency group move, or a compatible range change no longer forces a full re-resolution just because the lockfile carries a time field #​13696.

• An install that drops the last dependent of a patched package no longer updates the lockfile in place and succeeds silently. Removing a dependency, widening ignoredOptionalDependencies, or adding a removal override could each prune the package while the patch stayed configured; such an install now falls back to a full resolution, which reports the unused patch with ERR_PNPM_UNUSED_PATCH. Under allowUnusedPatches, where the lockfile update is kept, the same install now warns that the patch went unused instead of saying nothing #​13827.

v11.21.0: pnpm 11.21

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• Added interactive group selection to pnpm update --global --interactive.

• Running pnpm setup, pnpm self-update, or a command that modifies the global installation (such as pnpm add --global) through sudo now prints a warning. pnpm keeps global packages and configuration in the invoking user's home directory, so running these commands as root silently operates on the root user's home directory instead of yours. They will fail with ERR_PNPM_SUDO_NOT_SUPPORTED in pnpm v12. Read-only global commands (such as pnpm bin --global) are unaffected.

Patch Changes

• Fixed pnpm failing to start under asynchronous Node.js module loaders when no .pnpmfile.mjs exists pnpm/pnpm#11701.

• Fixed minimumReleaseAge fallback for custom dist-tags so the selected version does not exceed the registry’s original tag target.

• Removing a dependency from package.json and reinstalling no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. The importer's entry is dropped from pnpm-lock.yaml, anything it made unreachable is pruned, and a catalog entry that loses its last referent is removed — all without registry access. Installs still fall back to a full resolution when a package that stays resolves a peer dependency through the removed one, since that would change the surviving package's entry rather than only prune.

• Changing a catalog entry to a different exact version no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. The package is replaced in pnpm-lock.yaml directly, reusing the same check the pnpm.overrides fast path applies: every locked dependency of the package must still satisfy the new version's manifest. Installs fall back to a full resolution when anything other than the catalog reaches the package — an importer that depends on it directly, or another package that depends on it — since the graph would then need both versions.

• Fixed a CI regression where github:owner/repo dependencies (and other shorthand Git specifiers) would fail to install with Permission denied (publickey) on CI runners that lack SSH keys. The Git resolver no longer records an SSH URL unless the user explicitly wrote one (e.g. git+ssh:// or git@host:...):

  • The repository visibility probe (an HTTP HEAD request) now retries transient failures such as 429 Too Many Requests, so host throttling of CI runners is no longer mistaken for a private repository.
  • For non-SSH specifiers, anonymous HTTPS git ls-remote access is now tried before SSH, so a public repository whose visibility probe fails still resolves to a portable HTTPS URL instead of an SSH URL that only works where SSH keys are configured.
  • When every probe fails, the resolver falls back to HTTPS for shorthand and HTTPS-style specifiers, and only guesses SSH when the user explicitly provided an SSH URL.
  • A repository that could not be confirmed public is no longer resolved to the host's anonymous archive URL (e.g. codeload.github.com, which would fail to download for a private repository); it stays a regular git resolution so installs can use ambient Git credentials such as credential helpers and tokens.

  Note that a private repository that is reachable both over authenticated HTTPS and over SSH now resolves to its HTTPS URL, where previous versions recorded the SSH URL.

  Fixes pnpm/pnpm#13276.

• ng build and nuxt build now work under the global virtual store: pnpm's built-in compatibility extensions add the tslib dependency that @angular/build uses without declaring and the unplugin dependency that @nuxt/vite-builder v4 uses without declaring.

• Fixed link: dependencies under enableGlobalVirtualStore so linked children are materialized and slots remain isolated by their resolved link targets.

• An install that skips resolution because pnpm-lock.yaml is already up to date now reacts fully to packages the lockfile removed — for example after pulling a lockfile in which a dependency was deleted. The hoist layer is recomputed, so a package that became hoistable when a direct dependency was removed is hoisted, and pendingBuilds entries for removed packages are dropped instead of staying pending forever.

• The held-back-update warning printed by pnpm update no longer fires when minimumReleaseAge is the actual reason a newer version was not picked. The warning's baseline now applies the same maturity cutoff as the pick itself, so it no longer wrongly attributes the hold-back to "your manifests and already installed dependencies" or recommends an override that would defeat the age gate. See #​13071.

• Checking whether ignoredOptionalDependencies is up to date no longer reorders the configured patterns. The check sorted them in place, which could move an ! exclusion ahead of the pattern it excludes from and flip which optional dependencies were ignored.

• Changing autoInstallPeers, dedupePeers, peersSuffixMaxLength, excludeLinksFromLockfile, or injectWorkspacePackages no longer re-resolves the dependency graph when the lockfile proves the setting cannot affect it: no package or project declares a peer dependency for the peer settings, and no project depends on a directory or on another workspace project for the link and injection settings. The new setting is recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml and the install proceeds from the existing resolution. Every other case still falls back to a full resolution.

• Adding, editing, or removing an entry in patchedDependencies no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. Resolution never reads a patch — it only records the patch file's hash against the package it matches — so the install now rewrites the affected entries in pnpm-lock.yaml and materializes the patched package from the store instead. Installs still fall back to a full resolution when the patched package is reachable as a peer dependency, and when the new configuration would leave a patch unused while allowUnusedPatches is off, so ERR_PNPM_UNUSED_PATCH is still reported.

• Resolving a private git repository no longer blocks on an interactive credential prompt: git ls-remote now fails fast with an authentication error when git has no credentials for the repository #​13522.

• Lockfile verification now honors offline mode by using cached registry metadata instead of reaching the registry. When the required metadata is not available locally, verification reports the same ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META condition used by offline resolution.

• POSIX shell shims now follow symbolic links before computing basedir, preventing execution failures when a shim is invoked via an external symlink on PATH #​13405.

• The automatic packageManager version switch works again on registries whose tarball URLs point at a different host than the registry itself (load-balanced feed proxies, Artifactory-style mirrors). Package-manager entries are now always recorded with integrity-only resolutions — the download URL is derived from the trusted bootstrap registry instead — and entries persisted in an invalid shape by an earlier pnpm are discarded and re-resolved instead of failing every command #​13619.

• Registries that serve no npm signature metadata (private mirrors and feed proxies commonly strip dist.signatures) no longer break the automatic packageManager version switch and pnpm self-update #​13147. When the configured registry cannot provide a verifiable signature, pnpm now fetches the signature from registry.npmjs.org and verifies it against the same embedded npm keys over the installed integrity — which proves exactly the same thing. If no signature can be obtained from either source (for example, both are unreachable, or the registry publishes only a shasum), pnpm proceeds with a warning instead of failing, but only when the packages resolve through a registry configured in the user's own (non-project) configuration; the download stays pinned by the lockfile integrity, and a signature that exists but does not validate still fails the switch.

• pnpm fetch, and any install run with virtualStoreOnly, no longer writes a .pnp.cjs loader under nodeLinker: pnp. These installs populate the virtual store without linking the project, so the loader would have claimed the project resolves out of a store it was never linked into. The importer links and node_modules/.package-map.json were already skipped; the PnP loader now follows the same rule.

• Prevent pnpm from removing project files when modulesDir resolves to the project root.

• Speed up installs after adding ignoredOptionalDependencies patterns by removing newly ignored optional dependencies and pruning packages that are no longer reachable without resolving the dependency graph again.

• When a failed install re-copies a bin script from the store, rerunning pnpm install now reapplies the executable bit to the bin instead of leaving it non-executable #​12742.

• pnpm root -g and pnpm bin -g now print warnings to stderr instead of stdout, so their stdout stays a clean, machine-readable path. Previously, running either command with --global in a project that pins a package manager (e.g. via the packageManager field) printed a warning like [WARN] Using --global skips the package manager check for this project ahead of the path, breaking programs that capture the output as a path #​13672.

  In pnpm 12, pnpm root -g and pnpm prefix -g are now supported (they previously failed with ERR_PNPM_CLI_ROOT_GLOBAL_UNSUPPORTED / ERR_PNPM_CLI_PREFIX_GLOBAL_UNSUPPORTED), and the reporter output of dlx, create, config, sbom, with, store, prefix, root, and bin goes to stderr, matching pnpm 11.

• pnpm setup no longer makes Node.js print a MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON warning about dist/worker.js on every command. The package.json it writes next to a standalone executable now declares "type": "module".

• pnpm update without saving no longer records a version that the manifest's range excludes. The kept range stays authoritative: a requested version outside it is skipped with a warning, and a requested range, a dist tag, or --latest resolves within it instead of past it. Previously each of these could write a lockfile entry that contradicted its own specifier, which the next pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejected with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE #​12764.

• pnpm version -r --json now outputs [] instead of human-readable text when no pending changes exist pnpm/pnpm#13217.

v11.20.0: pnpm 11.20

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• Security fix. Affects projects using namedRegistries on pnpm 11.1.0–11.19.x. It is semi-breaking for those projects — see "If you use named registries" below.

  The lockfile recorded no marker for which registry a package came from. Packages were keyed by name@version alone, and entry lookup went through refToRelative(ref, name), so a dependency you declared against one registry could be satisfied by an entry that was actually resolved from another. When two registries served the same name and version, both collapsed onto a single packages: entry and whichever resolved first decided the tarball every consumer got.

  That is a package-substitution risk: a package you expect from your private registry could be installed from a different registry that publishes the same name and version, and the lockfile recorded nothing that would let you tell.

  Packages resolved from a named registry are now recorded under registry-qualified keys (<name>@<registryName>:<version>, e.g. foo@work:1.0.0), so each registry gets its own entry and the lockfile pins which one a dependency came from.

  The lockfile format version is unchanged. Registry-qualified keys appear only for packages resolved from a named registry, so a project that does not use namedRegistries sees no difference, and older pnpm versions keep reading the file.

If you use named registries

Your next non-frozen install re-keys those entries, which shows up as a lockfile diff. Commit it — that diff is the fix being applied. Review it: an entry that moves to a registry you did not expect is worth investigating.

Everyone working on the project should be on this version or newer before you do. An older pnpm reads the re-keyed lockfile fine — frozen installs are unaffected — but it does not produce registry-qualified keys itself, so any install that updates the lockfile writes those entries back to the old shape, and the next install on a current pnpm re-qualifies them. The result is a lockfile that flips back and forth, and while it is in the old shape the project is exposed again. Because the lockfile format version is deliberately unchanged, pnpm cannot detect this and warn you about it.

There is no setting to keep the old behavior: the old shape is the vulnerability.

Tarball URLs that follow the standard registry layout are no longer written to the lockfile for named-registry packages; they are recomputed from the namedRegistries setting on demand.

To use named registries, map your aliases in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

namedRegistries:
  work: https://npm.enterprise.example.com/

New built-in npmjs: alias

npmjs: now resolves to https://registry.npmjs.org/ with no configuration, alongside the existing gh: alias for GitHub Packages. It pins a dependency to the public registry even when registry points elsewhere, such as an internal proxy:

{ "dependencies": { "left-pad": "npmjs:^1.3.0" } }

npm: cannot do this — it is the alias protocol (npm:<name>@<range>) and resolves through whatever registry points at.

If you mirror or proxy npmjs, point the alias at your mirror:

namedRegistries:
  npmjs: https://npm.internal.example.com/

Built-in registry URLs are also the prefixes a lockfile's recorded tarball URL is matched against when pnpm verifies a package. Without the override, an entry whose tarball URL is on registry.npmjs.org is verified against the public registry rather than your mirror. This only affects lockfiles that record such URLs — a canonical URL for your configured registry is omitted from the lockfile and unaffected — and only when a tarball-URL, minimumReleaseAge, or trustPolicy check runs. Overriding the alias is the same escape hatch GHES users already have for gh.

Every alias the lockfile references must stay in namedRegistries: reading an entry whose alias is gone fails with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_NAMED_REGISTRY rather than silently falling back to the default registry, since that would fetch a different package. Renaming an alias re-resolves the packages that used it.

Named registry aliases that shadow a reserved dependency specifier prefix (file, link, workspace, runtime, npm, jsr, ...) are now rejected with ERR_PNPM_RESERVED_NAMED_REGISTRY_NAME instead of being silently shadowed by the corresponding resolver.

pnpm licenses and pnpm sbom now keep the two artifacts apart as well: license records carry the registry alias, and SBOM components carry the purl repository_url qualifier.

Patch Changes

• An empty http-proxy, https-proxy, proxy, or no-proxy value — from the .npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, the CLI, or the HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / PROXY / NO_PROXY environment variables — no longer fails the install with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PROXY. Empty settings read as unset, so a shell exporting HTTP_PROXY= disables the proxy, and an empty proxy= in the .npmrc no longer suppresses HTTPS_PROXY #​13533.

  proxy=false in the .npmrc or proxy: false in pnpm-workspace.yaml now turns proxying off instead of being read as a proxy host named false. false and null on https-proxy / http-proxy / no-proxy read as unset, and on the command line they are ordinary host names, since a flag carries its value verbatim.

• The env lockfile no longer pins @pnpm/exe alongside pnpm when the wanted pnpm version is 12 or newer. From v12 the unscoped pnpm package is itself the native executable, so @pnpm/exe is not published for it and resolving it would fail. The engine identity check now verifies the native binary through whichever package ships it.

• lexCompare and nerfDart are now published as @pnpm/text.ordinal-comparator and @pnpm/config.registry-auth-key. Use these instead of @pnpm/util.lex-comparator and @pnpm/config.nerf-dart.

• Fixed the order in which pnpm matches a lockfile's recorded tarball URL against known registry URLs. Two registry URLs of equal length were previously ordered arbitrarily, so which one a tarball URL matched could differ between runs.

• Dependency resolution is faster: package metadata is now filtered once per packument instead of once per dependency edge when minimumReleaseAge is active, and parsed semver versions and ranges are reused instead of re-parsed on every comparison.

• Security: pnpm rebuild now refuses a lockfile whose packages key carries a path traversal in the package name (e.g. ../../../escaped@1.0.0), instead of running that package's lifecycle scripts and linking its bins in a directory outside the virtual store. Such a name is rejected with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME.

v11.19.0: pnpm 11.19

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• pnpm login no longer requires an interactive terminal when the registry supports web-based login: without a TTY it prints the authentication URL (skipping the QR code and the "Press ENTER to open the URL in your browser" prompt) and polls the registry until the browser approval completes. Only the classic username/password login still fails with ERR_PNPM_LOGIN_NON_INTERACTIVE in a non-interactive terminal.

• The save-prefix setting now accepts =: newly added dependencies are saved with an explicit = operator (=1.2.3) instead of the setting being silently treated as the default ^.

Patch Changes

• allowBuilds entries can now approve git-hosted packages that pnpm downloads as a tarball, such as github: dependencies (which are fetched from codeload.github.com rather than cloned), by their repository URL without the resolved commit hash. This matches the hashless git+ matching already supported for cloned git dependencies. For example:

  allowBuilds:
    "foo@git+https://github.com/org/foo.git": true

  This approves the package whether pnpm clones it or downloads a tarball, so the entry no longer has to be updated every time the pinned commit changes. GitLab and Bitbucket tarball downloads are matched the same way. Approving or denying a specific resolved commit by its full tarball dep path continues to work.

• pnpm outdated --include-github-actions no longer blocks on an interactive git credential prompt when a workflow uses a private action repo.

• Prevented minimumReleaseAge from replacing latest with a SemVer-greater version than the registry tag target #​13034.

• Fixed empty bundledDependencies and bundleDependencies arrays causing nondeterministic lockfile changes. See #​13123.

• The install summary no longer prints (X is available) when the registry's dist-tags.latest is still held back by the active minimumReleaseAge policy. The hint only ever names the actual latest tag, so an immature latest suppresses the hint instead of advertising the version pnpm just refused to install #​11698.

• pnpm update keeps the explicit = operator of an exact version pin: a dependency saved as =3.5.1 now updates to =3.5.2 instead of the bare 3.5.2. See #​13168.

• Preserve a workspace dependency's link: entry when a run does not target it — e.g. pnpm update <other-pkg> (with or without --recursive), or a plain install after a root/catalog dependency change — with injectWorkspacePackages, instead of spuriously rewriting it to a peer-suffixed file: protocol. See #​10433.

• Workspace dependencies declared with a relative path (e.g. "foo": "workspace:../foo") are no longer silently dropped from the workspace projects graph, so --filter selection and the topological order of recursive commands take them into account.
