Minor Changes
Patch Changes
  • Fixed pnpm v11 incorrectly reporting confirmModulesPurge as unrecognized when set in pnpm-workspace.yaml. The Rust CLI now identifies the unsupported option as a pnpm v11 setting instead of suggesting an unrelated setting.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_FROZEN_LOCKFILE_WITH_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE when the pinned pnpm version recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml has to be re-resolved before it can be installed. It runs the pnpm version the lockfile pins and leaves the lockfile unchanged #​14124.

  • Under nodeLinker: hoisted, peer-resolution variants of an injected directory dependency (a file: snapshot) are materialized as separate copies again instead of collapsing onto the first-seen variant. Each copy keeps its own peer-resolved dependency set, so a project pinning one peer version no longer resolves another project's variant — Bit root components with conflicting peers across injected copies rely on this.

  • Fixed pnpm install --merge-git-branch-lockfiles --frozen-lockfile failing with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE when a branch lockfile predates the removal of a dependency, or its move to another dependency group #​13966. A dependency that no project declares anymore is no longer reinstated by the merge, and the packages it was the only path to are dropped with it.

  • Batch workspace publishing accepts a shared scope-specific credential, rejects mismatched credentials for a registry before publishing, and runs the publish and postpublish scripts after each completed registry group pnpm/pnpm#14101.

  • The Rust CLI now honors five settings it recognized but ignored: updateNotifier, legacyDirFiltering, initAuthorName / initAuthorEmail / initAuthorUrl, initLicense, and initVersion. pnpm install and pnpm add check once a day for a newer pnpm and print how to get it (turn it off with updateNotifier: false); a {<dir>} filter selector can go back to matching the subtree below the directory with legacyDirFiltering: true; and pnpm init writes the configured author, license, and version into the package.json it scaffolds. PNPM_CONFIG_INIT_VERSION is now read as well.

    maxsockets, npm's spelling of maxSockets, is no longer ignored: both spellings are read from pnpm-workspace.yaml, the global config file, the environment, and the command line, in that increasing order of precedence — a value passed on the command line now wins even when the two sides spelled the setting differently.

    A lastUpdateCheck timestamp dated in the future — after a clock change, a restored snapshot, or a hand-edited state file — no longer silences the update check until that time comes around.

    legacyDirFiltering no longer reaches the workspace-root selectors pnpm generates for itself: the !{<workspace-root>} exclusion a recursive run / exec / add / test appends, and the {<workspace-root>} inclusion --workspace-root appends. Read as subtree matches they named every project below the root, so a recursive command under the setting selected nothing at all, and --workspace-root pulled in every project below the root instead of the root alone #​14101.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer fails when pnpm-lock.yaml records the pinned pnpm version alongside an engine package the running pnpm does not install it from. An entry pinning another version is still refused, and a plain install rewrites the block #​14124.

v11.23.0: pnpm 11.23

Minor Changes
  • pnpm config get and pnpm config list now show the settings pnpm acts on under their documented names:

    • registries shows the registries pnpm resolves from, merged across every source (.npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, the global config, CLI flags), in the shape the setting is written in: keyed by registry URL, with the default registry declared as the bare @ scope. Built-in routes are included — the @jsr scope and the npmjs and gh prefixes — unless pointed elsewhere. Previously pnpm config get registries printed undefined.
    • update and audit show the effective sections, whichever spelling set them. The deprecated internal spellings (updateConfig, auditConfig, auditLevel) are no longer listed.
    • catalogs shows the complete resolved catalog set — the singular catalog block is its default entry — whichever spelling declared it.
    • The registry and @scope:registry entries show the merged routes rather than raw .npmrc values, so they always agree with the registries view.
  • Settings that no supported pnpm version recognizes get their own warning. A key in the global config file that this version of pnpm does not read is no longer reported with advice to move it to a project-level pnpm-workspace.yaml (where it would be ignored too); the warning now says the setting is not recognized by this version of pnpm, names the pnpm version that does read it when there is one (for example, globalShims is a pnpm v12 setting), and suggests the closest real setting name when the key looks like a typo. Unrecognized and non-camelCase keys in a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml, previously ignored silently, are now reported the same way. pnpm config get <key> and pnpm get <key> no longer print config-load warnings, so a script capturing the value gets the value alone.

  • The importPackage pnpmfile hook is deprecated. pnpm now prints a warning when a pnpmfile defines it, and the hook will be removed in the next major version. It also opts the installation out of the parallel package importer, making installation slower. If you rely on this hook, comment on #​14101.

  • node_modules/.modules.yaml no longer records the registries an install resolved from, and the recorded copy is dropped from the file on the first install that rewrites it.

    It dated from the lockfile format that spelled a dependency's path relative to its registry, where reading an installed tree meant knowing the registries it was installed with. Dependency paths have not carried a registry for several major versions, and the recorded copy outlived its use: pnpm list, pnpm why, and single-project installs preferred it over the project's own configuration, so a project whose registry had changed since its last install was still read through the old one.

    They now use the configured registries, like every other command already did.

  • When enableGlobalVirtualStore is on, every process pnpm spawns for the project (pnpm run, pnpm exec, lifecycle scripts) now receives a NODE_PATH pointing at the project's hoisted node_modules, plus a NODE_OPTIONS --import flag that registers a resolve hook restoring NODE_PATH lookups for ESM imports. Dependencies that import undeclared ("phantom") packages keep resolving under the global virtual store — for both CommonJS and ESM — without installing the @pnpm/plugin-esm-node-path config dependency pnpm/pnpm#9618. Tools run by pnpm dlx resolve such dependencies too: the JS CLI passes them the same environment, while the Rust CLI's dlx cache is self-contained, so its layout already exposes them.

  • A registry can now declare that its abbreviated metadata carries the time field, so resolutionMode: time-based reads the full metadata document only from the registries that need it:

    resolutionMode: time-based
    registries:
      https://npm.internal.example/:
        supportsTimeField: true

    registry.npmjs.org omits time from abbreviated metadata, so a time-based resolution has to fall back to the much larger full document. That fallback used to be all-or-nothing: registrySupportsTimeField answered for every registry at once, so a project resolving from both the public registry and a Verdaccio instance either paid for full metadata everywhere or claimed a time field npmjs does not serve. The answer is now per registry, and registrySupportsTimeField remains the answer for every registry that does not declare one.

    The declaration is also sent to a pnpr server, which applies it to the resolution it runs on the client's behalf.

  • A pnpr resolve request now carries the client's registries the way the registries setting declares them — keyed by URL, with the scopes routed to each, the bare-specifier prefix each answers to, and each one's serverType — in place of the prefix map it used to send.

    The server routes them through the same inversion the config reader runs, so a pnpr-served install resolves a scoped dependency from the registry that scope is routed to, which it previously could not: only the default registry and the prefix-addressed ones reached the server. A declared serverType reaches it too, so the tarball URLs pnpr omits from the lockfile match the ones the client reconstructs.

    Built-in scope routes the project has not pointed elsewhere are not declared, so a pnpr server's allowlist is not asked about npm.jsr.io on requests that resolve no JSR package.

    A registry a request only declares is no longer refused up front for being off the server's allowlist — a client describes its whole configuration, including scopes a given resolve never reaches, so a stray @scope:registry in a developer's ~/.npmrc no longer fails every install against a pnpr server that does not serve it. The boundary moves to the fetch itself: an origin the resolve does reach is refused before the request leaves the server, with the same message.

    This changes the resolve and verify-lockfile request bodies. A pnpr server and its clients have to be on matching versions; the protocol is still experimental and unversioned.

  • The registries setting now declares a registry once, keyed by its URL, with everything about that registry in the entry: how it lays out tarball URLs, the scopes routed to it, and the bare-specifier prefix it answers to.

    registries:
      https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-virtual/:
        serverType: artifactory
        scopes: ['@acme', '@acme-internal']
        prefix: work
    • serverType tells pnpm how the registry lays out its tarball URLs, which decides whether a URL can be omitted from pnpm-lock.yaml:
      • undeclared (the default) — strict. Only the exact canonical URL is treated as reconstructible.
      • npm — the registry behaves like registry.npmjs.org, which also serves a scoped package from its percent-encoded path. Declare this for a faithful mirror or caching proxy of the public registry so its tarball URLs can be omitted too.
      • artifactory — JFrog Artifactory repeats the scope in a scoped package's tarball filename (@acme/widget/-/@acme/widget-1.0.0.tgz) where the npm registry strips it (@acme/widget/-/widget-1.0.0.tgz). Declaring it lets pnpm rebuild that URL, so it is omitted from pnpm-lock.yaml instead of being written out for every scoped package pnpm/get-npm-tarball-url#16.
    • scopes lists the @-prefixed scopes that resolve from this registry. A bare '@' is the scope-less default registry, the one the registry setting names.
    • prefix is the alias a dependency addresses this registry by, as in "foo": "work:^1.0.0".

    The layout is never inferred from the registry URL, so nothing changes unless you declare it; registry.npmjs.org continues to behave as npm without being declared. Because the lockfile depends on serverType, it is read from pnpm-workspace.yaml only — a serverType in the global config.yaml is ignored, so one developer's machine cannot shape a lockfile their collaborators read back with a different layout. Credentials are rejected in this setting, in a key as well as in a field, and still belong in .npmrc. An entry that routes nothing to itself and matches no configured registry is reported as a warning rather than silently ignored.

Migrating

The older registries shape, a map of <scope>: <url> strings, still works and needs no change:

registries:
  '@acme': https://npm.acme.example/

namedRegistries is deprecated in favor of the prefix field, and is still read for prefixes registries does not declare.

toLockfileResolution and isCanonicalRegistryTarballUrl now take their registry and layout as an options object rather than positional arguments, so @pnpm/lockfile.utils and @pnpm/resolving.tarball-url get a major bump.

  • An install that had to re-hash store files to verify them now reports it. If that cost more than a second, it says how long — The integrity of N files was checked in 2.5s. — and if it was quick but covered more than a thousand files, it names the cause instead: their timestamps changed since the store recorded them, which a backup tool, an antivirus scan or a copied store can do.

  • Added virtualStoreType, which names where the virtual store lives — one store per machine, or one per project:

    virtualStoreType: global   # or: project

    It is the canonical spelling of enableGlobalVirtualStore, which keeps working. When a project sets both, virtualStoreType wins. It can also be set through PNPM_CONFIG_VIRTUAL_STORE_TYPE and read back with pnpm config get virtualStoreType. The default is unchanged — project, so the shared store stays opt-in.

    The setting is independent of nodeLinker. isolated and pnp both work with either store type, and hoisted writes no virtual store at all, so it is unaffected.

Patch Changes
  • pnpm add --allow-build now adds to the allowBuilds entries already in pnpm-workspace.yaml instead of replacing them #​13872.

  • Kept pending build approvals available after removing an unrelated dependency.

  • pnpm approve-builds now removes onlyBuiltDependencies, onlyBuiltDependenciesFile, neverBuiltDependencies, and ignoredBuiltDependencies from pnpm-workspace.yaml when it writes allowBuilds. Those settings were replaced by allowBuilds in pnpm 11 and silently ignored since, so a workspace migrated from pnpm 10 kept them around looking active.

  • pnpm audit no longer reports a patched version that was never published or is deprecated. The inferred patched range (e.g. >=4.17.24 from <=4.17.23) is now checked against the registry packument, and the report is corrected to the lowest non-deprecated published version that satisfies it (e.g. >=4.18.1 when 4.17.24 does not exist and 4.18.0 is deprecated). When no published version satisfies the range, the report shows Patched versions: None. This also prevents pnpm audit --fix from adding overrides or minimumReleaseAgeExclude entries for patches that do not exist #​13824.

    pnpm audit --fix and pnpm audit --fix update no longer add a minimumReleaseAgeExclude entry when the registry packument shows that the minimum patched version was never published. Previously such entries were written for versions that do not exist, which would have let a later publish of that version bypass the minimumReleaseAge gate #​11563.

    The --json output of pnpm audit now returns patched_versions: null for advisories whose inferred patch is not available (never published, skipped, yanked, or deprecated), making it easier for tooling to distinguish "no fix available" from "fix available at version X".

  • Fixed pnpm patch-commit in project and edit paths containing non-ASCII characters.

  • The package and bump pickers of pnpm change now size their page from the terminal height instead of always showing 7 rows. They fall back to 7 rows when the terminal height is unknown pnpm/pnpm#13815.

  • Canceling a pnpm change prompt with Ctrl-c no longer prints a stack trace. It reports Change canceled and exits with a success status, like the other interactive commands #​13814.

  • Re-fetch full registry metadata when minimumReleaseAge is enabled and an abbreviated packument's time map omits timestamps for some versions. This prevents mature versions from being filtered out and resolution from falling back to the lowest matching version pnpm/pnpm#13741.

  • A config dependency carrying an inline integrity (the <version>+<integrity> form, or the object form without a tarball) now takes its tarball URL from the registry's packument instead of deriving it from the registry URL, so migrating one costs an extra metadata request. On a registry that serves tarballs from a path pnpm cannot derive, GitLab's group endpoint for one, installing such a config dependency failed with a 404 while the same package installed fine as a regular dependency #​13765.

  • Fixed PNPM_CONFIG_NODE_VERSION being ignored when setting the Node.js version used for compatibility checks.

  • A custom fetcher can no longer replace the archive integrity that pnpm-lock.yaml pins: the locked value is restored after a canFetch or fetch hook rewrites the resolution, and delegating a locked archive to a directory or git source now fails instead of installing unverified content.

    The Rust CLI now also loads the pnpmfiles named by the pnpmfile setting (a single path or an ordered list), and hands custom fetchers native localTarball and remoteTarball callbacks — including on a fresh install that has to compute a missing tarball integrity, which is then reused by later offline installs. File maps a fetcher returns are accepted only when they match what those native callbacks extracted.

  • Fixed an issue where running pnpm dedupe --check in projects with nodeLinker: hoisted would cause dependencies to be moved out of node_modules into node_modules/.ignored.

  • pnpm deploy --prod and pnpm deploy --no-optional no longer list the excluded dependency groups in the deployed package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml. The deployed lockfile referenced packages that the deploy left out of its graph, so installing in the deploy directory afterwards created dangling symlinks #​13623.

  • Don't treat files like license16.json as a package license when deciding if the workspace LICENSE file should be included in the packed package.

  • pnpm exec --recursive --no-reporter-hide-prefix no longer prints a blank prefixed line after each chunk of a command's output, and no longer splits a line in two when it straddles a chunk boundary.

  • Fixed 404 errors when installing from a registry that serves scoped packages only from a percent-encoded path, such as GitHub Enterprise Server. Outside registry.npmjs.org, a tarball URL that encodes the scope separator as %2f or %2F is no longer mistaken for one that pnpm can rebuild from the package name, version, and registry, so it is kept in pnpm-lock.yaml and requested verbatim on the next install #​13534.

  • Fixed trustPolicyExclude and minimumReleaseAgeExclude being ignored when set to a single string instead of a list. The value was read one character at a time, so the exclusion never matched the package it named — and a * anywhere in it matched every package, silently switching the policy off.

  • pnpm init now pins the exact pnpm version instead of a ^ range, and records it in the packageManager field alongside devEngines.packageManager. Corepack reads only packageManager and accepts nothing but an exact version, so it rejected the generated package.json with "expected a semver version" pnpm/pnpm#13969. A package created inside an existing workspace is still left unpinned — it follows the pin at the workspace root — and --no-init-package-manager still scaffolds a manifest without any pin. In pnpm 12, pnpm init also honors initType and its --init-type flag, so the manifest it writes is the same one pnpm 11 writes.

  • Fixed an issue where package overrides were written into the metadata cache, causing removed overrides to keep applying on subsequent installs pnpm/pnpm#13918.

  • On Windows, upgrading pnpm no longer leaves a stale pnpm.ps1 behind. PowerShell resolves pnpm.ps1 ahead of pnpm.cmd, so a shim written by an older installation kept running the previous version. Linking the pnpm CLI's bins now deletes it #​13919.

  • Fixed an inconsistency where minimumReleaseAgeExclude (and trustPolicyExclude) wildcard/bare-name rules behaved differently in the evaluator and normalizer. A bare rule now consistently evaluates as matching every version, preventing unexpected behavior and silent widening of version policy exemptions when pnpm rewrites the workspace manifest pnpm/pnpm#13725.

  • A frozen install no longer rewrites the packageManagerDependencies block of pnpm-lock.yaml. When the pnpm version pinned by devEngines.packageManager (or by packageManager) is missing from the lockfile or no longer matches it, --frozen-lockfile now fails with ERR_PNPM_FROZEN_LOCKFILE_WITH_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE instead of resolving the version and saving it, so a manifest whose pin was bumped without regenerating the lockfile can no longer pass CI #​14009.

  • A git dependency installed over HTTPS from a hosted repository now keeps its branch, tag, or version range in the specifier recorded in package.json. It was written back without one, so the next pnpm update moved the dependency to the repository's default branch #​13999.

  • Fixed pnpm update --global --latest failing with a 404 error when a globally installed package was not added from the registry by name. Packages installed from a local path (link:/file:), a git repository, a tarball URL, an npm: alias, or a named registry now keep their spec during a global update instead of being looked up by name in the default registry. See #​12854.

  • Fix recursive pnpm update <name>@<version> so an exact pinned update stays scoped to the requested version line: copies of the same package on another major line — or, for a 0.x request, another minor line — keep their locked resolution instead of being re-resolved along with the target.

  • Under nodeLinker: hoisted, a dependency declared against a peer-resolution variant of a package version is no longer dropped from the installed layout. All variants of a version share one hoisted copy, and edges pointing at any of them now resolve to it, so the depending project keeps the package in its .package-map.json and the depending package keeps it in its node_modules/.bin.

  • Fixed pnpm install --merge-git-branch-lockfiles deleting the per-branch lockfiles when the lockfile setting is false. Such an install never reads them, so it has nothing to merge them into and now leaves them alone.

  • Fixed pnpm install sometimes not exiting after printing Done in Xs #​12297.

  • Fixed pnpm failing to read .modules.yaml files containing long dependency paths #​13875. The manifest is now parsed as JSON (the format pnpm writes it in), falling back to the YAML parser only for manifests written by old pnpm versions.

  • With preferSymlinkedExecutables, NODE_PATH again points at the virtual store of the workspace root when pnpm is run from inside a workspace package, so scripts can resolve dependencies that live only in the hoisted store #​13912.

  • Reduced registry metadata requests during dependency resolution by reusing cached metadata when lockfile preferences prove that no uncached version can win pnpm/pnpm#13976.

  • pnpm pkg get and pnpm pkg set now accept hyphens inside a dot-notation property path, so pnpm pkg get dependencies.some-package-name reads the key instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_TOKEN_IN_PROPERTY_PATH. The bracketed and quoted forms already worked and are unchanged.

  • A resolve request now carries the client's resolutionMode, so an install delegated to a pnpr server picks versions the way the client would. time-based and lowest-direct reached the server as nothing at all, leaving it on its highest default: the returned lockfile pinned the highest satisfying version of every dependency, and the setting appeared to be ignored.

    This adds a field to the resolve request body. A server older than its client ignores it and keeps resolving highest; the protocol is still experimental and unversioned.

  • Fixed pnpm installs using pnpr to honor the client's autoInstallPeers, dedupePeers, and excludeLinksFromLockfile settings pnpm/pnpm#13389.

  • pnpm remove now prunes undecided entries ("set this to true or false") from allowBuilds in pnpm-workspace.yaml when sharedWorkspaceLockfile: true and the corresponding packages are removed pnpm/pnpm#13892.

  • Fixed workspace discovery for pnpm-workspace.yaml files without a packages field so commands only consider the workspace root instead of recursively scanning nested projects #​14047.

  • A runtime installed through devEngines.runtime now matches the host when supportedArchitectures lists several platforms. Listing os: [darwin, linux] and cpu: [x64, arm64] used to install the runtime built for the first entry of each list, so a machine running Linux on arm64 got a macOS x64 Node.js that could not execute #​13898.

  • pnpm sbom now fails with ERR_PNPM_SBOM_MISSING_IMPORTERS when pnpm-lock.yaml has no entry for a selected project, instead of writing an SBOM that under-reports that project's dependencies. Previously this crashed with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'devDependencies').

  • pnpm self-update now rewrites a simple devEngines.packageManager.version range (^/~) to the newly installed version, keeping the operator — matching how pnpm update and pnpm runtime set rewrite ranges. Complex ranges such as >=8.0.0 that the new version satisfies are still left unchanged #​13935.

  • pnpm self-update <tag> no longer downgrades when the dist-tag points at the pnpm version already running and that version is younger than minimumReleaseAge. The maturity cutoff moved the tag back to the previous mature release, so pnpm self-update next-12 on v12.0.0-rc.4 switched to v12.0.0-rc.3.

  • pnpm set-script now updates package.json instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_NOT_IMPLEMENTED pnpm/pnpm#13956.

  • pnpm update now preserves the existing range operator when updating a prerelease dependency. See #​7002.

  • Installs are faster in workspaces that declare inter-workspace dependencies with plain ranges ("*", "^1.2.3") rather than the workspace: protocol. With preferWorkspacePackages enabled, linking such a dependency no longer makes a registry request that cannot change the outcome — and workspace packages that were never published no longer cost a 404 on every install.

  • Added fetchWarnTimeoutMs and fetchMinSpeedKiBps to the Rust pnpm CLI and its N-API bindings. Slow registry metadata requests and tarball downloads now emit pnpm-compatible warnings without exposing URL credentials, query parameters, fragments, or control characters pnpm/pnpm#12042.

  • An override change is now absorbed by the fast lockfile update even when another, unchanged override uses the catalog: protocol. Previously any catalog:-valued override forced a full re-resolution whenever the override list changed, which could move unrelated packages in the lockfile (for example after pnpm audit --fix added an override).

  • Packed workspace package manifests now preserve dependency order, making repeated pnpm pack output deterministic #​10167.

  • pnpm update <name>@<version> now fails with ERR_PNPM_UPDATE_VERSION_ON_INDIRECT_DEP when the package is not a direct dependency of any selected project, instead of quietly updating it to whatever a fresh install would resolve. There is nowhere to record the version in that case, so the request cannot be honored, and the error points at the overrides entry that does pin a transitive dependency. Ranges and tags are unaffected, and a package that any selected project declares directly still takes its version as before.

  • trustPolicy: no-downgrade no longer aborts the install with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME on registries that serve no per-version time field when minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime is set. The trust check reads the same publish dates the minimumReleaseAge check does, so it now honors the same opt-in and skips the affected package with a warning #​12446.

    minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime no longer lets a lockfile entry the registry does not list pass the minimumReleaseAge check during lockfile verification. The opt-in covers a registry that cannot date its releases; a packument that does date every version it lists is saying it never published this one, which stays a hard failure.

    The missing-time warning now names the check it is reporting on, so a package whose minimumReleaseAge and trustPolicy checks are both skipped warns about both instead of only the first.

  • pnpm update <pkg>@<version> now updates only the selected packages and leaves unrelated dependencies unchanged. A selector that renames the package it installs — pnpm update <alias>@npm:<pkg>@<version> or the jsr: equivalent — now targets the package the alias installs rather than the alias.

  • Fixed verifyDepsBeforeRun being ignored when set to install, warn, error, or prompt through the PNPM_CONFIG_VERIFY_DEPS_BEFORE_RUN environment variable or the --config.verify-deps-before-run flag #​13816. Only the boolean values were accepted before, so a string value was silently dropped.

  • pnpm version <bump> with --dry-run no longer edits package.json files. It now only reports the bumps it would make, and skips the working tree check, the version lifecycle scripts, the commit, and the tag pnpm/pnpm#13953.

v11.22.0: pnpm 11.22

Compare Source

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
