pnpm (source) packageManager major 10.33.2 -> 11.0.3 11.1.2 (+8)

Release Notes

pnpm/pnpm (pnpm)

v11.0.3

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • Fix too many open files error sometimes happening on Windows, when creating command shims in node_modules/.bin #​11412.
  • Fix ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404 when installing a project whose lockfile depends on a file: tarball. The previous behavior dropped the tarball field from file: and git-hosted resolutions when lockfile-include-tarball-url=false (the default), even though those URLs cannot be reconstructed from the package name, version, and registry #​11407.

v11.0.2

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • Fix ENOENT symlink failure when pnpm add -g triggers the approve-builds prompt. The global add flow used to forward an absolute modulesDir (<installDir>/node_modules) into the install run by approve-builds. The install layer treated modulesDir as a path relative to lockfileDir and joined it again, producing a doubled path on Windows because path.join does not collapse an embedded absolute path. The hoist step then tried to mkdir and symlink under <installDir>\<installDir>\node_modules\.pnpm\node_modules\... and failed with ENOENT #​11403.
  • Fixed packageManagerDependencies going stale when pnpm is invoked through corepack. The lockfile sync (and the devEngines.packageManager version check) previously ran only when pnpm was invoked directly; under corepack the entire block was skipped, so a stale entry would persist even after the running pnpm version changed. The lockfile sync now runs regardless of how pnpm was invoked, while the pnpm-managed version switch (onFail: 'download') remains skipped under corepack so it doesn't fight corepack's own version selection #​11397.
  • Fix recursive publish summaries to report the manifest from publishConfig.directory when packages publish from a generated directory #​11239.
  • Fix negated os / cpu entries (e.g. ["!win32"]) being incorrectly rejected when supportedArchitectures expands to multiple platforms #​11375.

v11.0.1

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • Report unknown top-level options before falling back to implicit pnpm run scripts.
  • Reject null named catalogs in workspace manifests with InvalidWorkspaceManifestError instead of crashing with a raw TypeError.
  • Populate download location for git-sourced dependencies in SBOM output. Previously pnpm sbom emitted NOASSERTION (SPDX) and omitted the distribution reference (CycloneDX) for git dependencies. Now emits the git URL with commit hash, e.g. git+https://github.com/user/repo.git#commit.
  • pnpm self-update now keeps package.json's packageManager and devEngines.packageManager in sync. When the legacy packageManager field pins pnpm, both fields are rewritten to the new exact pnpm version on update — packageManager to pnpm@<version> (without an integrity hash), and devEngines.packageManager.version to the same exact <version> (dropping any range operator). When only devEngines.packageManager is declared, the existing range-preserving behavior is unchanged #​11388.
  • Sort the keys of the overrides object returned by pnpm audit --fix so that the log output order matches the order written to pnpm-workspace.yaml.
  • Update the env lockfile's packageManagerDependencies entry when devEngines.packageManager declares a pnpm version that the lockfile no longer satisfies. Previously, the stale entry was kept even though the running pnpm matched the declared version, silently breaking the integrity record #​11387.

v11.0.0

Highlights
Major
  • Node.js 22+ required — support for Node 18, 19, 20, and 21 is dropped, pnpm itself is now pure ESM, and the standalone exe requires glibc 2.27.
  • Supply-chain protection on by defaultminimumReleaseAge defaults to 1 day (newly published packages are not resolved for 24h) and blockExoticSubdeps defaults to true.
  • allowBuilds replaces the old build-dependency settingsonlyBuiltDependencies, onlyBuiltDependenciesFile, neverBuiltDependencies, ignoredBuiltDependencies, and ignoreDepScripts have been removed.
  • Global installs are isolated and use the global virtual store by default — each pnpm add -g gets its own directory with its own package.json, node_modules, and lockfile.
  • New SQLite-backed store index (store v11) with bundled manifests and hex digests, reducing filesystem syscalls and speeding up installation.
  • Native publish flowpnpm publish, login, logout, view, deprecate, unpublish, dist-tag, and version no longer delegate to the npm CLI, and the remaining npm passthrough commands now throw "not implemented".
  • pnpm audit uses npm's bulk advisories endpoint — the legacy /security/audits endpoints are gone. CVE-based filtering has been replaced with GHSA-based filtering: migrate auditConfig.ignoreCves entries to auditConfig.ignoreGhsas.
  • .npmrc is auth/registry only — all other settings must live in pnpm-workspace.yaml or the new global config.yaml, and environment variables use the pnpm_config_* prefix.
  • Runtime installs are slimmer — installing a Node.js runtime via node@runtime:<version> no longer extracts the bundled npm, npx, and corepack, roughly halving the files pnpm has to hash, write, and link.
Minor
Major Changes
Requirements
  • pnpm is now distributed as pure ESM.
  • Dropped support for Node.js v18, 19, 20, and 21.
  • The standalone exe version of pnpm requires at least glibc 2.27.
Security & Build Defaults
  • Changed default values: optimisticRepeatInstall is now true, verifyDepsBeforeRun is now install, minimumReleaseAge is now 1440 (1 day), and minimumReleaseAgeStrict is false. Newly published packages will not be resolved until they are at least 1 day old. This protects against supply chain attacks by giving the community time to detect and remove compromised versions. To opt out, set minimumReleaseAge: 0 in pnpm-workspace.yaml #​11158.

  • strictDepBuilds is true by default.

  • blockExoticSubdeps is true by default.

  • Removed deprecated build dependency settings: onlyBuiltDependencies, onlyBuiltDependenciesFile, neverBuiltDependencies, ignoredBuiltDependencies, and ignoreDepScripts #​11220.

    Use the allowBuilds setting instead. It is a map where keys are package name patterns and values are booleans:

    • true means the package is allowed to run build scripts
    • false means the package is explicitly denied from running build scripts

    Same as before, by default, none of the packages in the dependencies are allowed to run scripts. If a package has postinstall scripts and it isn't declared in allowBuilds, an error is printed.

    Before:

    onlyBuiltDependencies:
      - electron
    onlyBuiltDependenciesFile: "allowed-builds.json"
    neverBuiltDependencies:
      - core-js
    ignoredBuiltDependencies:
      - esbuild

    After:

    allowBuilds:
      electron: true
      core-js: false
      esbuild: false
  • Removed allowNonAppliedPatches in favor of allowUnusedPatches.

  • Removed ignorePatchFailures; patch application failures now throw an error.

Store
  • Runtime dependencies are always linked from the global virtual store #​10233.
  • Optimized index file format to store the hash algorithm once per file instead of repeating it for every file entry. Each file entry now stores only the hex digest instead of the full integrity string (<algo>-<digest>). Using hex format improves performance since file paths in the content-addressable store use hex representation, eliminating base64-to-hex conversion during path lookups.
  • Store version bumped to v11.
  • The bundled manifest (name, version, bin, engines, scripts, etc.) is now stored directly in the package index file, eliminating the need to read package.json from the content-addressable store during resolution and installation. This reduces I/O and speeds up repeat installs #​10473.
  • The package index in the content-addressable store is now backed by SQLite. Instead of individual JSON files under $STORE/index/, package metadata is stored in a single SQLite database at $STORE/index.db with MessagePack-encoded values. This reduces filesystem syscall overhead, improves space efficiency for small metadata entries, and enables concurrent access via SQLite's WAL mode. Packages missing from the new index are re-fetched on demand #​10500 #​10826.
Global Packages
  • Global installs (pnpm add -g pkg) and pnx now use the global virtual store by default. Packages are stored at {storeDir}/links instead of per-project .pnpm directories. This can be disabled by setting enableGlobalVirtualStore: false #​10694.

  • Isolated global packages. Each globally installed package (or group of packages installed together) now gets its own isolated installation directory with its own package.json, node_modules/, and lockfile. This prevents global packages from interfering with each other through peer dependency conflicts, hoisting changes, or version resolution shifts.

    Key changes:

    • pnpm add -g <pkg> creates an isolated installation in {pnpmHomeDir}/global/v11/{hash}/
    • pnpm remove -g <pkg> removes the entire installation group containing the package
    • pnpm update -g [pkg] re-installs packages in new isolated directories
    • pnpm list -g scans isolated directories to show all installed global packages
    • pnpm install -g (no args) is no longer supported; use pnpm add -g <pkg> instead
  • Globally installed binaries are now stored in a bin subdirectory of PNPM_HOME instead of directly in PNPM_HOME. This prevents internal directories like global/ and store/ from polluting shell autocompletion when PNPM_HOME is on PATH #​10986. After upgrading, run pnpm setup to update your shell configuration.

  • Breaking changes to pnpm link:

    • pnpm link <pkg-name> no longer resolves packages from the global store. Only relative or absolute paths are accepted. For example, use pnpm link ./foo instead of pnpm link foo.
    • pnpm link --global is removed. Use pnpm add -g . to register a local package's bins globally.
    • pnpm link (no arguments) is removed. Use pnpm link <dir> with an explicit path instead.
Configuration
  • pnpm no longer reads all settings from .npmrc. Only auth and registry settings are read from .npmrc files. All other settings (like hoistPattern, nodeLinker, shamefullyHoist, etc.) must be configured in pnpm-workspace.yaml or the global ~/.config/pnpm/config.yaml #​11189.

  • Network settings (httpProxy, httpsProxy, noProxy, localAddress, strictSsl, gitShallowHosts) are now written to config.yaml (global) or pnpm-workspace.yaml (local) instead of .npmrc/auth.ini. They are still readable from .npmrc for easier migration from the npm CLI #​11209.

    pnpm no longer reads npm_config_* environment variables. Use pnpm_config_* environment variables instead (e.g., pnpm_config_registry instead of npm_config_registry).

    pnpm no longer reads the npm global config at $PREFIX/etc/npmrc.

    pnpm login writes auth tokens to ~/.config/pnpm/auth.ini.

    New registries setting in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

    registries:
      default: https://registry.npmjs.org/
      "@&#8203;my-org": https://private.example.com/
      "@&#8203;internal": https://nexus.corp.com/

    Auth tokens in ~/.npmrc still work — pnpm continues to read ~/.npmrc as a fallback for registry authentication. The new npmrcAuthFile setting can be used to point to a different file instead of ~/.npmrc.

  • Replace workspace project specific .npmrc with packageConfigs in pnpm-workspace.yaml.

    A workspace manifest with packageConfigs looks something like this:

v10.33.4: pnpm 10.33.4

Patch Changes

  • Pin the integrity of git-hosted tarballs (codeload.github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org) in the lockfile so that subsequent installs detect a tampered or substituted tarball and refuse to install it. Previously the lockfile only stored the tarball URL for git dependencies, so a compromised git host or a man-in-the-middle could serve arbitrary code on later installs without lockfile changes.

    A new gitHosted: true field is recorded on git-hosted tarball resolutions in the lockfile, letting every reader/writer route them by a single typed check instead of pattern-matching the tarball URL in each call site. Lockfiles written by older pnpm versions are enriched on load (URL fallback) so the field can be relied on uniformly across the codebase.

  • Fix a regression where pnpm --recursive --filter '!<pkg>' run/exec/test/add would include the workspace root in the matched projects. The workspace root is now correctly excluded by default when only negative --filter arguments are provided, matching the documented behavior. To include the root, pass --include-workspace-root #​11341.

v10.33.3: pnpm 10.33.3

Compare Source

Patch Changes

  • When self-updating from v10's @pnpm/exe to v11+ on Intel macOS (darwin-x64), pnpm self-update now transparently switches to the JS-only pnpm package on npm instead of installing @pnpm/exe@v11+ (which doesn't ship a working binary for Intel Macs because of an upstream Node.js SEA bug — see #​11423 and nodejs/node#62893). Without this, the self-update would silently leave the user with no working pnpm binary. The new install requires Node.js to be available on PATH; a warning is printed when the swap happens. All other host/version combinations are unchanged.
  • pnpm self-update (with no version argument) no longer downgrades pnpm when the registry's latest dist-tag points to an older release than the currently active version. Run pnpm self-update latest to force a downgrade #​11418.
