### v2.15.12 (2017-03-24):
This version brings the latest `node-gyp` to a soon to be released Node.js
4.x. The `node-gyp` update is particularly important to Windows folks due to
its addition of Visual Studio 2017 support.
* [`cdd60e733`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/cdd60e733905a9994e1d6d832996bfdd12abeaee)
`node-gyp@3.6.0`:
Improvements to how Python is located. New `--devdir` flag.
Support for VS2017.
Chakracore support on ARM.
Remove path-array dependency, reducing size significantly.

### v2.15.11 (2016-09-08):
On we go with our monthly release cadence! This week is pretty much all
dependency updates and some documentation changes, as can be expected by now.
Note that `npm@4` will almost certainly be released next month! It's not final
what we'll end up doing as far as LTS support goes, but the current thinking is
that, considering how small and resource-constrained our team is, support for
`npm@2` will be reduced to essentially maintenance, so we can better focus on
`npm@3` as the new LTS version (which will go into `node@6`), and `npm@4` as our
next main development version.

### v2.15.10 (2016-08-11):
Hi all, today's our first release coming out of the new monthly release
cadence. See below for details. We're all recovered from conferences now and
raring to go! For LTS we see some bug fixes, documentation improvements and
a host of dependency updates.
The most dramatic bug fix is probably the inclusion of scoped modules in
bundled dependencies. Prior to this release and
[v3.10.7](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/v3.10.7), npm had ignored
scoped modules found in `bundleDependencies` entirely.
#### NEW RELEASE CADENCE
Releasing npm has been, for the most part, a very prominent part of our
weekly process process. As part of our efforts to find the most effective
ways to allocate our team's resources, we decided last month that we would
try and slow our releases down to a monthly cadence, and see if we found
ourselves with as much extra time and attention as we expected to have.
Process experiments are useful for finding more effective ways to do our
work, and we're at least going to keep doing this for a whole quarter, and
then measure how well it worked out. It's entirely likely that we'll switch
back to a more frequent cadence, specially if we find that the value that
weekly cadence was providing the community is not worth sacrificing for a
bit of extra time. Does this affect you significantly? Let us know!
#### WINDOWS CORNER CASES

### v2.15.8 (2016-06-17):
There's a very important bug fix and a long-awaited (and significant!)
deprecation in this hotfix release. [Hold on.](http://butt.holdings/)
#### *WHOA*
When Node.js 6.0.0 was released, the CLI team noticed an alarming upsurge in
bugs related to important files (like `README.md`) not being included in
published packages. The new bugs looked much like
[#5082](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5082), which had been around in one
form or another since April, 2014. #5082 used to be a very rare (and obnoxious)
bug that the CLI team hadn't had much luck reproducing, and we'd basically
marked it down as a race condition that arose on machines using slow and / or
rotating-media-based hard drives.
Under 6.0.0, the behavior was reliable enough to be nearly deterministic, and
made it very difficult for publishers using `.npmignore` files in combination
with `"files"` stanzas in `package.json` to get their packages onto the
registry without one or more files missing from the packed tarball. The entire
saga is contained within [the issue](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5082),
but the summary is that an improvement to the performance of
[`fs.realpath()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_realpath_path_options_callback)
made it much more likely that the packing code would lose the race.
Fixing this has proven to be very difficult, in part because the code used by
npm to produce package tarballs is more complicated than, strictly speaking, it
needs to be. [**@evanlucas**](https://github.com/evanlucas) contributed [a
patch](https://github.com/npm/fstream/pull/50) that passed the tests in a
[special test suite](https://github.com/othiym23/eliminate-5082) that I
([**@othiym23**](https://github.com/othiym23)) created (with help from
[**@addaleax**](https://github.com/addaleax)), but only _after_ we'd released
the fixed version of that package did we learn that it actually made the
problem _worse_ in other situations in npm proper. Eventually,
[**@rvagg**](https://github.com/rvagg) put together a more durable fix that
appears to completely address the errant behavior under Node.js 6.0.0. That's
the patch included in this release. Everybody should chip in for redback
insurance for Rod and his family; he's done the community a huge favor.
Does this mean the long (2+ year) saga of #5082 is now over? At this point, I'm
going to quote from my latest summary on the issue:
> The CLI team (mostly me, with input from the rest of the team) has decided that
> the overall complexity of the interaction between `fstream`, `fstream-ignore`,
> `fstream-npm`, and `node-tar` has grown more convoluted than the team is
> comfortable (maybe even capable of) supporting.
>
> - While I believe that @rvagg's (very targeted) fix addresses _this_ issue, I
> would be shocked if there aren't other race conditions in npm's packing
> logic. I've already identified a couple other places in the code that are
> most likely race conditions, even if they're harder to trigger than the
> current one.
> - The way that dependency bundling is integrated leads to a situation in
> which a bunch of logic is duplicated between `fstream-npm` and
> `lib/utils/tar.js` in npm itself, and the way `fstream`'s extension
> mechanism works makes this difficult to clean up. This caused a nasty
> regression ([#13088](https://github.com/npm/fstream/pull/50), see below) as
> of ~`npm@3.8.7` where the dependencies of `bundledDependencies` were no
> longer being included in the built package tarballs.
> - The interaction between `.npmignore`, `.gitignore`, and `files` is hopelessly
> complicated, scattered in many places throughout the code. We've been
> discussing [making the ignores and includes logic clearer and more
> predictable](https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Files-and-Ignores), and the
> current code fights our efforts to clean that up.
>
> So, our intention is still to replace `fstream`, `fstream-ignore`, and
> `fstream-npm` with something much simpler and purpose-built. There's no real
> reason to have a stream abstraction here when a simple recursive-descent
> filesystem visitor and a synchronous function that can answer whether a given
> path should be included in the packed tarball would do the job adequately.
>
> What's not yet clear is whether we'll need to replace `node-tar` in the
> process. `node-tar` is a very robust implementation of tar (it handles, like,
> everything), and it also includes some very important tweaks to prevent several
> classes of security exploits involving maliciously crafted packages. However,
> its packing API involves passing in an `fstream` instance, so we'd either need
> to produce something that follows enough of `fstream`'s contract for `node-tar`
> to keep working, or swap `node-tar` out for something like `tar-stream` (and
> then ensuring that our use of `tar-stream` is secure, which could involve
> security patches for either npm or `tar-stream`).
The testing and review of `fstream@1.0.10` that the team has done leads us to
believe that this bug is fixed, but I'm feeling more than a little paranoid
about fstream now, so it's important that people keep a close eye on their
publishes for a while and let us know immediately if they notice any
irregularities.

#### GOODBYE, FAITHFUL FRIEND
At NodeConf Adventure 2016 (RIP in peace, Mikeal Rogers's NodeConf!), the CLI
team had an opportunity to talk to representatives from some of the larger
companies that we knew were still using Node.js 0.8 in production. After asking
them whether they were still using 0.8, we got back blank stares and questions
like, "0.8? You mean, from four years ago?" After establishing that being able
to run npm in their legacy environments was no longer necessary, the CLI team
made the decision to drop support for 0.8. (Faithful observers of our [team
meetings](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+npm+cli+team+meeting+)
will have known this was the plan for NodeConf since the beginning of 2016.)
In practice, this means only what's in the commit below: we've removed 0.8 from
our continuous integration test matrix below, and will no longer be habitually
testing changes under Node 0.8. We may also give ourselves permission to use
`setImmediate()` in test code. However, since the project still supports
Node.js 0.10 and 0.12, it's unlikely that patches that rely on ES 2015
functionality will land anytime soon.
Looking forward, the team's current plan is to drop support for Node.js 0.10
when its LTS maintenance window expires in October, 2016, and 0.12 when its
maintenance / LTS window ends at the end of 2016. We will also drop support for
Node.js 5.x when Node.js 6 becomes LTS and Node.js 7 is released, also in the
October-December 2016 timeframe.
(Confused about Node.js's LTS policy? [Don't
be!](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS) If you look at [this
diagram](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/blob/ce364a94b0e0619eba570cd57be396573e1ef889/schedule.png),
it should make all of the preceding clear.)
If, in practice, this doesn't work with distribution packagers or other
community stakeholders responsible for packaging and distributing Node.js and
npm, please reach out to us. Aligning the npm CLI's LTS policy with Node's
helps everybody minimize the amount of work they need to do, and since all of
our teams are small and very busy, this is somewhere between a necessity and

### v2.15.7 (2016-06-16):
It pains me greatly that we haven't been able to fix
[#5082](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5082) yet, but warning you away from
potentially publishing incomplete packages takes priority over feeling cheesy
about landing a warning to help keep y'all out of trouble, so here you go
(_please read this next bit_ (_please clap_)):
#### DANGER: PUBLISHING ON NODE 6.0.0
Publishing and packing are buggy under Node versions greater than 6.0.0.
Please use Node.js LTS (4.4.x) to publish packages. See
[#5082](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5082) for details and current
status.

### v2.15.4 (2016-04-21):
Gosh, it's been a peaceful couple of weeks!
Overall, the CLI team has been focused on the project to [get the test suite
passing on Windows](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/11444). Our efforts should
be paying off soon -- there's only a couple of tests left!
It's very unlikely those particular changes will make their way into our current
`npm@2` LTS release, I think, but it will help `npm@3` a lot, as well as
whatever version makes it into [`node@6`, which will eventually be the next
Node.js LTS](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6155).
As far as this week goes, we've got a couple of dep updates and doc fixes.

Hiiiiiii!~๐
We're really happy to be getting more and more community contributions! Keep it
up! We really appreciate folks trying to help us, and we'll do our best to help
point you in the right direction. Even things like documentation are a huge
help. And remember -- you get socks for it, too!๐

Back in `npm@2.13.1` we included [a patch that made it so `npm install pkg`
was basically `npm install pkg@latest` instead of
`pkg@*`](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/9170) This is probably what most
users expected, but it also ended up [breaking `npm
deprecate`](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/9170) when no version was provided
for a package. In that case, we were using `*` to mean "deprecate all
versions" and relying on the `pkg` -> `pkg@*` conversion. This patch fixes
`npm deprecate pkg` to work as it used to by special casing that particular
command's behavior.

### v2.15.2 (2016-03-24):
It's always nice to see new contributors. ๐
This week sees another small release, but we're still chugging along on our
[Windows efforts](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/11444).
There's also some small process changes to our LTS process relatively recently
that you might wanna know about! ๐
For one, the `2.x` branch was removed in favor of just `lts`. If you're making
PRs exclusively against npm's LTS, please use that name from now on. `2.x` was
deleted.
Also, [@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23) put some time into [writing down
our LTS process and policy](https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/LTS). Check it out
and ping us if you have questions or comments about it!
In general, we're trying to make sure all our policy and such for our
contributors is written down, and we hope it makes it easier in general for
y'all. Forrest is also working on a shiny new Contributor's Guide right now, but
we'll link to that in the (near?) future, when it's ready to roll out.

### v2.15.1 (2016-03-17):
#### SECURITY ADVISORY: BEARER TOKEN DISCLOSURE
This release includes [the fix for a
vulnerability](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fea8cc92cee02c720b58f95f14d315507ccad401)
that could cause the unintentional leakage of bearer tokens.
Here are details on this vulnerability and how it affects you.
##### DETAILS
Since 2014, npmโs registry has used HTTP bearer tokens to authenticate requests
from the npmโs command-line interface. A design flaw meant that the CLI was
sending these bearer tokens with _every_ request made by logged-in users,
regardless of the destination of their request. (The bearers only should have
been included for requests made against a registry or registries used for the
current install.)
An attacker could exploit this flaw by setting up an HTTP server that could
collect authentication information, then use this authentication information to
impersonate the users whose tokens they collected. This impersonation would
allow them to do anything the compromised users could do, including publishing
new versions of packages.
With the fixes weโve released, the CLI will only send bearer tokens with
requests made against a registry.
##### THINK YOU'RE AT RISK? REGENERATE YOUR TOKENS
If you believe that your bearer token may have been leaked, [invalidate your
current npm bearer tokens](https://www.npmjs.com/settings/tokens) and rerun
`npm login` to generate new tokens. Keep in mind that this may cause continuous
integration builds in services like Travis to break, in which case youโll need
to update the tokens in your CI serverโs configuration.
##### WILL THIS BREAK MY CURRENT SETUP?
Maybe.
npmโs CLI team believes that the fix wonโt break any existing registry setups.
Due to the large number of registry software suites out in the wild, though,
itโs possible our change will be breaking in some cases.
If so, please [file an issue](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/new) describing
the software youโre using and how it broke. Our team will work with you to
mitigate the breakage.
##### CREDIT & THANKS
Thanks to Mitar, Will White & the team at Mapbox, Max Motovilov, and James
Taylor for reporting this vulnerability to npm.
### BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING

[#11912](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/11912)
Did you know npm can install itself? `npm install -g npm` is the way to
upgrade! Turns out that one of the tests that verified this functionality got
rewritten as part of our recent push for better tests, and in the process
omitted a detail about *how* the test ran. We're testing that corner case
again, now, by moving the install folder to `/tmp`, where the original legacy
test ran.

### v2.15.0 (2016-03-10):
#### WHY IS THIS SEMVER-MINOR I THOUGHT THIS WAS LTS
A brief note about LTS this week!
npm, as you may know if you're using this `2.x` branch, has an LTS process for
releases. We also try and play nice with [Node.js' own LTS release
process](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS#lts-plan). That means we generally try to
avoid things like minor version bumps on our `2.x` branch (which is also tagged
`lts` in the `dist-tag`s).
That said, we had a minor-bump update recently for `npm@3.8.0` which added a
`maxsockets` option to allow users to configure the number of concurrent sockets
that npm would keep open at a time -- a setting that has the potential to help a
bunch for people with fussy routers or internet connections that aren't very
happy with Node.js applications' usual concurrency storm. This change was done
to `npm-registry-client`, which we don't have a parallel LTS-tracking branch
for.
After talking it over, we ended up deciding that this was a reasonable enough
addition to LTS, even though it's *technically* a `semver-minor` bump, taking
into account both its potential for bugfixing (specially on `2.x`!) and the
general hassle it would be to maintain another branch for `npm-registry-client`.

#### INTERNAL TEST IMPROVEMENTS
The npm CLI team's time recently has been sunk into npm's many years of tech debt. Specifically, we've been working on improving the test suite. This isn't user visible, but in future should mean a more stable, easier to contribute to npm. Ordinarily we don't report these kinds of changes in the change log, but I thought I might share this week as this chunk is bigger than usual.
These patches were previously released for `npm@3`, and then ported back to `npm@2` LTS.

### v2.14.20 (2016-02-18):
Hope y'all are having a nice week! As usual, it's a fairly limited release. The
most notable thing is some dependency updates that might help the Node.js CI
setup for Windows run a little better, even if we have some work to do on that
path length things, still.
#### WHITTLING AWAY AT PATH LENGTHS
So for all of you who don't know -- Node.js does, in fact, support long Windows
paths. Unfortunately, depending on the tool and the Windows version, a lot of
external tooling does not. This means, for example, that some (all?) versions of
Windows Explorer *can literally never delete npm from their system entirely
because of deeply-nested npm dependencies*. Which is pretty gnarly.
Incidentally, if you run into that in particularly, you can use
[rimraf](npm.im/rimraf) to remove such files ๐.
The latest victim of this issue was the Node.js CI setup for testing on Windows,
which uses some tooling or another that croaks on the usual path length limit
for that OS: 255 characters.
This issue, of course, is largely not a problem as of `npm@3`, with its flat
trees, but it still occasionally and viciously bites LTS.
We've taken another baby step towards alleviating this in this release by
updating a couple of dependencies that were preventing `npmlog` from deduping,
and then doing a dedupe on that and `gauge`. Hopefully it helps.

Good to see you all again! It's been a while since we had an LTS release, and
the team continues to work hard to both get the issue tracker under control, and
get our test suite to be awesome and reliable.
This is also the first LTS release of this year.
We're gonna have an interesting time -- most of our focus this year will be
around stability and maintainability of the CLI, so you might actually end up
seeing a number of updates even over here, just for the sake of making sure
we're stable, that bugs get fixed, and tests have proper coverage.
What better way to start this effort, then, than getting Travis tests green, fix
a few things here and there, and tweak a bunch of documentation? ๐

### v2.14.13 (2015-11-25):
#### THE npm CLI !== THE npm REGISTRY !== npm, INC.
npm-the-CLI is licensed under the terms of the [Artistic License
2.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/8d79c1a39dae908f27eaa37ff6b23515d505ef29/LICENSE),
which is a liberal open-source license that allows you to take this code and do
pretty much whatever you like with it (that is, of course, not legal language,
and if you're doing anything with npm that leaves you in doubt about your legal
rights, please seek the review of qualified counsel, which is to say, not
members of the CLI team, none of whom have passed the bar, to my knowledge). At
the same time the primary registry the CLI uses when looking up and downloading
packages is a commercial service run by npm, Inc., and it has its own [Terms of
Use](https://www.npmjs.com/policies/terms).
Aside from clarifying the terms of use (and trying to make sure they're more
widely known), the only recent changes to npm's licenses have been making the
split between the CLI and registry clearer. You are still free to do whatever
you like with the CLI's source, and you are free to view, download, and publish
packages to and from `registry.npmjs.org`, but now the existing terms under
which you can do so are more clearly documented. Aside from the two commits
below, see also [the release notes for
`npm@2.14.11`](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.11), which is where
the split between the CLI's code and the terms of use for the registry was
first made more clear.

### v2.14.12 (2015-11-19):
#### TEEN ORCS AT THE GATES
This week heralds the general release of the primary npm registry's [new
support for private packages for
organizations](http://blog.npmjs.org/post/133542170540/private-packages-for-organizations).
For many potential users, it's the missing piece needed to make it easy for you
to move your organization's private work onto npm. And now it's here! The
functionality to support it has been in place in the CLI for a while now,
thanks to [@zkat](https://github.com/zkat)'s hard work.
During our final testing before the release, our ace support team member
[@snopeks](https://github.com/snopeks) noticed that there had been some drift
between the CLI team's implementation and what npm was actually preparing to
ship. In the interests of everyone having a smooth experience with this
_extremely useful_ new feature, we quickly made a few changes to square up the
CLI and the web site experiences.

#### A BRIEF NOTE ON NPM'S BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
We don't often have much to say about the changes we make to our internal
testing and tooling, but I'm going to take this opportunity to reiterate that
npm tries hard to maintain compatibility with a wide variety of Node versions.
As this change shows, we want to ensure that npm works the same across:
* Node.js 0.8
* Node.js 0.10
* Node.js 0.12
* the latest io.js release
* Node.js 4 LTS
* Node.js 5
Contributors who send us pull requests often notice that it's very rare that
our tests pass across all of those versions (ironically, almost entirely due to
the packages we use for testing instead of any issues within npm itself). We're
currently beginning an effort, lasting the rest of 2015, to clean up our test
suite, and not only get it passing on all of the above versions of Node.js, but
working solidly on Windows as well. This is a compounding form of technical
debt that we're finally paying down, and our hope is that cleaning up the tests
will produce a more robust CLI that's a lot easier to write patches for.

### v2.14.11 (2015-11-12):
#### ASK FOR NOTHING, GET LATEST
When you run `npm install foo`, you probably expect that you'll get the
`latest` version of `foo`, whatever that is. And good news! That's what this
change makes it do.
We _think_ this is what everyone wants, but if this causes problems for you, we
want to know! If it proves problematic for people we will consider reverting it
(preferably before this becomes `npm@latest`).
Previously, when you ran `npm install foo` we would act as if you typed `npm
install foo@*`. Now, like any range-type specifier, in addition to matching the
range, it would also have to be `<=` the value of the `latest` dist-tag.
Further, it would exclude prerelease versions from the list of versions
considered for a match.
This worked as expected most of the time, unless your `latest` was a prerelease
version, in which case that version wouldn't be used, to everyone's surprise.

OS&F is definitely my favorite convention I've gone to. Y'all should check it
out next year! Rebecca and Kat are back, although Forrest is out at
[&yet conf](http://andyetconf.com/).
This week sees another tiny LTS release with non-code-related patches -- just
CI/release things.
Meanwhile, have you heard? `npm@3` is much faster now! Go upgrade with `npm
install -g npm@latest` and give it a whirl if you haven't already!
#### IF YOU CHANGE CASING ON A FILE, YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND

### v2.14.7 (2015-10-01):
#### MORE RELEASE STAGGERING?!
Hi all, and greetings from [Open Source & Feelings](http://osfeels.com)!
So we're switching gears a little with how we handle our weekly releases: from
now on, we're going to stagger release weeks between dependency bumps and
regular patches. So, this week, aside from a doc change, we'll be doing only
version bumps. Expect actual patches next week!
#### TOTALLY FOLLOWING THE RULES ALREADY
So I snuck this in, because it's our own [@snopeks](https://github.com/snopeks)'
first contribution to the main `npm` repo. She's been helping with building
support documents for Orgs, and contributed her general intro guide to the new
feature so you can read it with `npm help orgs` right in your terminal!

### v2.14.6 (2015-09-24):
#### `ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ`
Since `2.x` is LTS now, you can expect a slowdown in overall release sizes. On
top of that, we had our all-company-npm-internal-conf thing on Monday and
Tuesday so there wasn't really time to do much at all.
Still, we're bringing you a couple of tiny little changes this week!

([@simov](https://github.com/simov))
### v2.14.5 (2015-09-17):
#### NPM IS DEAD. LONG LIVE NPM
That's right folks. As of this week, `npm@next` is `npm@3`, which means it'll be
`npm@latest` next week! There's some really great shiny new things over there,
and you should really take a look.
Many kudos to [@iarna](https://github.com/iarna) for her hard work on `npm@3`!
Don't worry, we'll keep `2.x` around for a while (as LTS), but you won't see
many, if any, new features on this end. From now on, we're going to use
`latest-2` and `next-2` as the dist tags for the `npm@2` branch.
#### OKAY THAT'S FINE CAN I DEPRECATE THINGS NOW?
Yes! Specially if you're using scoped packages. Apparently, deprecating them
never worked, but that should be better now. :)

### v2.14.4 (2015-09-10):
#### THE GREAT NODEv4 SAGA
So [Node 4 is out now](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.0.0/) and that's
going to involve a number of things over in npm land. Most importantly, it's the
last major release that will include the `2.x` branch of npm. That also means
that `2.x` is going to go into LTS mode in the coming weeks -- once `npm@3`
becomes our official `latest` release. You can most likely expect Node 5 to
include `npm@3` by default, whenever that happens. We'll go into more detail
about LTS at that point, as well, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements!
#### NODE IS DEAD. LONG LIVE NODE!
Node 4 being released means that a few things that used to be floating patches
are finally making it right into npm proper. This week, we've got two such
updates, both to dependencies:
* [`505d9e4`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/505d9e40c13b8b0bb3f70ee9886f7b73ba569407)
`node-gyp@3.0.1`: Support for node nightlies and compilation for both node and
io.js without extra patching

[@thefourtheye](https://github.com/thefourtheye) was kind enough to submit a
*bunch* of PRs to npm's dependencies updating them to `graceful-fs@4.1.2`, which

### v2.14.3 (2015-09-03):
#### TEAMS AND ORGS STILL BETA. CLI CODE STILL SOLID.
Our closed beta for Teens and Orcs is happening! The web team is hard at work
making sure everything looks pretty and usable and such. Once we fix things
stemming from that beta, you can expect the feature to be available publicly.
Some time after that, it'll even be available for free for FOSS orgs. It'll Be
Done When It's Doneโข.
#### OH GOOD, I CAN ACTUALLY UPSTREAM NOW
Looks like last week's release foiled our own test suite when trying to upstream
it to Node! Just a friendly reminder that no, `.npmrc` is no longer included
then you pack/release a package! [@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23) and
[@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs) managed to suss the really strange test
failures resulting from that, and we've patched it in this release.

### v2.14.2 (2015-08-27):
#### GETTING THAT PESKY `preferGlobal` WARNING RIGHT
So apparently the `preferGlobal` option hasn't quite been warning correctly for
some time. But now it should be all better! tl;dr: if you try and install a
dependency with `preferGlobal: true`, and it's _not already_ in your
`package.json`, you'll get a warning that the author would really rather you
install it with `--global`. This should prevent Windows PowerShell from thinking
npm has failed just because of a benign warning.

### v2.14.1 (2015-08-20):
#### SECURITY FIX
There are patches for two information leaks of moderate severity in `npm@2.14.1`:
1. In some cases, npm was leaking sensitive credential information into the
child environment when running package and lifecycle scripts. This could
lead to packages being published with files (most notably `config.gypi`, a
file created by `node-gyp` that is a cache of environmental information
regenerated on every run) containing the bearer tokens used to authenticate
users to the registry. Users with affected packages have been notified (and
the affected tokens invalidated), and now npm has been modified to not
upload files that could contain this information, as well as scrubbing the
sensitive information out of the environment passed to child scripts.
2. Per-package `.npmrc` files are used by some maintainers as a way to scope
those packages to a specific registry and its credentials. This is a
reasonable use case, but by default `.npmrc` was packed into packages,
leaking those credentials. npm will no longer include `.npmrc` when packing
tarballs.
If you maintain packages and believe you may be affected by either
of the above scenarios (especially if you've received a security
notification from npm recently), please upgrade to `npm@2.14.1` as
soon as possible. If you believe you may have inadvertently leaked
your credentials, upgrade to `npm@2.14.1` on the affected machine,
and run `npm logout` and then `npm login`. Your access tokens will be
invalidated, which will eliminate any risk posed by tokens inadvertently
included in published packages. We apologize for the inconvenience this
causes, as well as the oversight that led to the existence of this issue
in the first place.
Huge thanks to [@ChALkeR](https://github.com/ChALkeR) for bringing these
issues to our attention, and for helping us identify affected packages
and maintainers. Thanks also to the Node.js security working group for
their coรถrdination with the team in our response to this issue. We
appreciate everybody's patience and understanding tremendously.

### v2.14.0 (2015-08-13):
#### IT'S HERE! KINDA!
This release adds support for teens and orcs (err, teams and organizations) to
the npm CLI! Note that the web site and registry-side features of this are
still not ready for public consumption.
A beta should be starting in the next couple of weeks, and the features
themselves will become public once all that's done. Keep an eye out for more

### v2.13.5 (2015-08-07):
This is another quiet week for the `npm@2` release.
[@zkat](https://github.com/zkat) has been working hard on polishing the CLI
bits of the registry's new feature to support direct management of teams and
organizations, and [@iarna](https://github.com/iarna) continues to work through
the list of issues blocking the general release of `npm@3`, which is looking
more and more solid all the time.
[@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23) and [@zkat](https://github.com/zkat)
have also been at this week's Node.js / io.js [collaborator
summit](https://github.com/nodejs/summit/tree/master), both as facilitators and
participants. This is a valuable opportunity to get some face time with other
contributors and to work through a bunch of important discussions, but it does
leave us feeling kind of sleepy. Running meetings is hard!
What does that leave for this release? A few of the more tricky bug fixes that
have been sitting around for a little while now, and a couple dependency
upgrades. Nothing too fancy, but most of these were contributed by developers
like _you_, which we think is swell. Thanks!

That means it's a pretty low-key release this week. We got some nice

#### HOLD ON TO YOUR TENTACLES... IT'S NPM RELEASE TIME!
Kat: Hooray! Full team again, and we've got a pretty small patch release this
week, about everyone's favorite recurring issue: git URLs!
Rebecca: No Way! Again?
Kat: The ride never ends! In the meantime, there's some fun, exciting work in
the background to get orgs and teams out the door. Keep an eye out for news. :)
Rebecca: And make sure to keep an eye out for patches for the super-fresh

Rebecca: So what's this about another git URL issue?
Kat: Welp, I apparently broke backwards-compatibility on what are actually
invalid `git+https` URLs! So I'm making it work, but we're gonna deprecate URLs
that look like `git+https://user@host:path/is/here`.
Rebecca: What should we use instead?!
Kat: Just do me a solid and use `git+ssh://user@host:path/here` or
`git+https://user@host/absolute/https/path` instead!

### v2.13.0 (2015-07-02):
#### FORREST IS OUT! LET'S SNEAK IN ALL THE THINGS!
Well, not _everything_. Just a couple of goodies, like the new `npm ping`
command, and the ability to add files to the commits created by `npm version`
with the new version hooks. There's also a couple of bugfixes in `npm` itself
and some of its dependencies. Here we go!
#### YES HELLO THIS IS NPM REGISTRY SORRY NO DOG HERE
Yes, that's right! We now have a dedicated `npm ping` command. It's super simple
and super easy. You ping. We tell you whether you pinged right by saying hello
right back. This should help out folks dealing with things like proxy issues or
other registry-access debugging issues. Give it a shot!

made, So you can add additional metadata files, more automated changes to
`package.json`, or even generate `CHANGELOG.md` automatically pre-commit if
you're into that sort of thing. I'm so happy this is there I can't even. Do you

### v2.12.1 (2015-06-25):
#### HEY WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO
I keep [hearing some commotion](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.0.0).
Is there something going on? Like, a party or something? Anyway, here's a small
release with at least two significant bug fixes, at least one of which some of
you have been waiting for for quite a while.
#### REMEMBER WHEN I SAID "REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THAT THING ABOUT PERMISSIONS?"?
`npm@2.12.0` has a change that introduces a fix for a permissions problem
whereby the `_locks` directory in the cache directory can up being owned by
root. The fix in 2.12.0 takes care of that problem, but introduces a new
problem for Windows users where npm tries to call `process.getuid()`, which
doesn't exist on Windows. It was easy enough to fix (but more or less
impossible to test, thanks to all the external dependencies involved with
permissions and platforms and whatnot), but as a result, Windows users might
want to skip `npm@2.12.0` and go straight to `npm@2.12.1`. Sorry about that!
* [`7e5da23`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/7e5da238ee869201fdb9027c27b79b0f76b440a8)
When using the new, "fixed" cache directory creator, be extra-careful to not
call `process.getuid()` on platforms that lack it.
([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
#### WHEW! ALL DONE FIXING GIT FOREVER!
New npm CLI team hero [@zkat](https://github.com/zkat) has finally (FINALLY)
fixed the regression somebody (hi!) introduced a couple months ago whereby git
URLs of the format `git+ssh://user@githost.com:org/repo.git` suddenly stopped
working, and also started being saved (and cached) incorrectly. I am 100% sure
there are absolutely no more bugs in the git caching code at all ever. Mm hm.
Yep. Pretty sure. Maybe. Hmm... I hope.

### v2.12.0 (2015-06-18):
#### REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THAT THING ABOUT PERMISSIONS?
About [a million people](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+EACCES+_locks)
have filed issues related to having a tough time using npm after they've run
npm once or twice with sudo. "Don't worry about it!" I said. "We've fixed all
those permissions problems ages ago! Use this one weird trick and you'll never
have to deal with this again!"
Well, uh, if you run npm with root the first time you run npm on a machine, it
turns out that the directory npm uses to store lockfiles ends up being owned by
the wrong user (almost always root), and that can, well, it can cause problems
sometimes. By which I mean every time you run npm without being root it'll barf
with `EACCES` errors. Whoops!
This is an obnoxious regression, and to prevent it from recurring, we've made
it so that the cache, cached git remotes, and the lockfile directories are all
created and maintained using the same utilty module, which not only creates the
relevant paths with the correct permissions, but will fix the permissions on
those directories (if it can) when it notices that they're broken. An `npm
install` run as root ought to be sufficient to fix things up (and if that
doesn't work, first tell us about it, and then run `sudo chown -R $(whoami)
$HOME/.npm`)
Also, I apologize for inadvertently gaslighting any of you by claiming this bug
wasn't actually a bug. I do think we've got this permanently dealt with now,
but I'll be paying extra-close attention to permissions issues related to the
cache for a while.
* [`85d1a53`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/85d1a53d7b5e0fc04823187e522ae3711ede61fa)
Set permissions on lock directory to the owner of the process.

#### I WENT TO NODECONF AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY SPDX T-SHIRT
That's not literally true. We spent very little time discussing SPDX,
[@kemitchell](https://github.com/kemitchell) is a champ, and I had a lot of fun
playing drum & bass to a mostly empty Boogie Barn and only ended up with one
moderately severe cold for my pains. Another winner of a NodeConf! (I would
probably wear a SPDX T-shirt if somebody gave me one, though.)
A bunch of us did have a spirited discussion of the basics of open-source
intellectual property, and the convergence of me,
[@kemitchell](https://github.com/kemitchell), and
[@jandrieu](https://github.com/jandrieu) in one place allowed us to hammmer out
a small but significant issue that had been bedeviling early adopters of the
new SPDX expression syntax in `package.json` license fields: how to deal with
packages that are left without a license on purpose.
Refer to [the docs](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/16a3dd545b10f8a2464e2037506ce39124739b41/doc/files/package.json.md#license)
for the specifics, but the short version is that instead of using
`LicenseRef-LICENSE` for proprietary licenses, you can now use either
`UNLICENSED` if you want to make it clear that you don't _want_ your software
to be licensed (and want npm to stop warning you about this), or `SEE LICENSE
IN <filename>` if there's a license with custom text you want to use. At some
point in the near term, we'll be updating npm to verify that the mentioned
file actually exists, but for now you're all on the honor system.

Mostly small documentation tweaks and version updates. Oh! And `npm outdated`
is actually sorted now. Rejoice!

while it lasts. :3

([@simov](https://github.com/simov))
### v2.11.0 (2015-05-21):
For the first time in a very long time, we've added new events to the life
cycle used by `npm run-script`. Since running `npm version (major|minor|patch)`
is typically the last thing many developers do before publishing their updated
packages, it makes sense to add life cycle hooks to run tests or otherwise
preflight the package before doing a full publish. Thanks, as always, to the
indefatigable [@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) for yet another great
usability improvement for npm!
#### FEATURELETS
* [`b07f7c7`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b07f7c7c1e5021730b3c320f1b3a46e70f8a21ff)
[#7906](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7906)
Add new [`scripts`](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/doc/misc/npm-scripts.md) to
allow you to run scripts before and after
the [`npm version`](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/doc/cli/npm-version.md)
command has run. This makes it easy to, for instance, require that your
test suite passes before bumping the version by just adding `"preversion":
"npm test"` to the scripts section of your `package.json`.

When we get a "not found" error from the registry, we'll now check to see

error message. ([@thefourtheye](https://github.com/thefourtheye))

### v2.10.0 (2015-05-8):
#### THE IMPLICATIONS ARE MORE PROFOUND THAN THEY APPEAR
If you've done much development in The Enterpriseยฎโข, you know that keeping
track of software licenses is far more important than one might expect / hope /
fear. Tracking licenses is a hassle, and while many (if not most) of us have
(reluctantly) gotten around to setting a license to use by default with all our
new projects (even if it's just WTFPL), that's about as far as most of us think
about it. In big enterprise shops, ensuring that projects don't inadvertently
use software with unacceptably encumbered licenses is serious business, and
developers spend a surprising (and appalling) amount of time ensuring that
licensing is covered by writing automated checkers and other license auditing
tools.
The Linux Foundation has been working on a machine-parseable syntax for license
expressions in the form of [SPDX](https://spdx.org/), an appropriately
enterprisey acronym. IP attorney and JavaScript culture hero [Kyle
Mitchell](http://kemitchell.com/) has put a considerable amount of effort into
bringing SPDX to JavaScript and Node. He's written
[`spdx.js`](https://github.com/kemitchell/spdx.js), a JavaScript SPDX
expression parser, and has integrated it into npm in a few different ways.
For you as a user of npm, this means:
* npm now has proper support for dual licensing in `package.json`, due to
SPDX's compound expression syntax. Run `npm help package.json` for details.
* npm will warn you if the `package.json` for your project is either missing a
`"license"` field, or if the value of that field isn't a valid SPDX
expression (pro tip: `"BSD"` becomes `"BSD-2-Clause"` in SPDX (unless you
really want one of its variants); `"MIT"` and `"ISC"` are fine as-is; the
[full list](https://github.com/shinnn/spdx-license-ids/blob/master/spdx-license-ids.json)
is its own package).
* `npm init` now demands that you use a valid SPDX expression when using it
interactively (pro tip: I mostly use `npm init -y`, having previously run
`npm config set init.license=MIT` / `npm config set init.author.email=foo` /
`npm config set init.author.name=me`).
* The documentation for `package.json` has been updated to tell you how to use
the `"license"` field properly with SPDX.
In general, this shouldn't be a big deal for anybody other than people trying
to run their own automated license validators, but in the long run, if
everybody switches to this format, many people's lives will be made much
simpler. I think this is an important improvement for npm and am very thankful
to Kyle for taking the lead on this. Also, even if you think all of this is
completely stupid, just [choose a license](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License-free_software)
anyway. Future you will thank past you someday, unless you are
[djb](http://cr.yp.to/), in which case you are djb, and more power to you.

([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
As a corollary to the previous changes, I've put some work into making `npm
install` spew out fewer pointless warnings about missing values in transitive
dependencies. From now on, npm will only warn you about missing READMEs,
license fields, and the like for top-level projects (including packages you
directly install into your application, but we may relax that eventually).
Practically _nobody_ liked having those warnings displayed for child
dependencies, for the simple reason that there was very little that anybody
could _do_ about those warnings, unless they happened to be the maintainers of
those dependencies themselves. Since many, many projects don't have
SPDX-compliant licenses, the number of warnings reached a level where they ran
the risk of turning into a block of visual noise that developers (read: me, and
probably you) would ignore forever.
So I fixed it. If you still want to see the messages about child dependencies,
they're still there, but have been pushed down a logging level to `info`. You
can display them by running `npm install -d` or `npm install --loglevel=info`.
* [`eb18245`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/eb18245f55fb4cd62a36867744bcd1b7be0a33e2)
Only warn on normalization errors for top-level dependencies. Transitive
dependency validation warnings are logged at `info` level.

#### BUG FIXES
* [`e40e809`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e40e8095d2bc9fa4eb8f01aa22067e0068fa8a54)
`tap@1.0.1`: TAP: The Next Generation. Fix up many tests to they work
properly with the new major version of `node-tap`. Look at all the colors!

* [`f9314e9`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f9314e97d26532c0ef2b03e98f3ed300b7cd5026)

* [`45c2b1a`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/45c2b1aaa051733fa352074994ae6e569fd51e8b)
[#8187](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8187) `npm ls` wasn't properly
recognizing dependencies installed from GitHub repositories as git
dependencies, and so wasn't displaying them as such.
([@zornme](https://github.com/zornme))
* [`1ab57c3`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1ab57c38116c0403965c92bf60121f0f251433e4)
In some cases, `npm help` was using something that looked like a regular
expression where a glob pattern should be used, and vice versa.
([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs))
### v2.9.1 (2015-04-30):
#### WOW! MORE GIT FIXES! YOU LOVE THOSE!
The first item below is actually a pretty big deal, as it fixes (with a
one-word change and a much, much longer test case (thanks again,
[@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))) a regression that's been around for months
now. If you're depending on multiple branches of a single git dependency in a
single project, you probably want to check out `npm@2.9.1` and verify that
things (again?) work correctly in your project.
* [`178a6ad`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/178a6ad540215820d16217465a5f220d8c95a313)
[#7202](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7202) When caching git
dependencies, do so by the whole URL, including the branch name, so that if a
single application depends on multiple branches from the same repository (in
practice, multiple version tags), every install is of the correct version,
instead of reusing whichever branch the caching process happened to check out
first. ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))

GitHub, and Gitlab dependencies are installed the same way as non-hosted git
dependencies, fixing `npm install --link`.
([@laiso](https://github.com/laiso))
#### DOCUMENTATION FIXES AND TWEAKS
These changes may seem simple and small (except Lin's fix to the package name
restrictions, which was more an egregious oversight on our part), but cleaner
documentation makes npm significantly more pleasant to use. I really appreciate
all the typo fixes, clarifications, and formatting tweaks people send us, and
am delighted that we get so many of these pull requests. Thanks, everybody!
* [`ca478dc`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/ca478dcaa29b8f07cd6fe515a3c4518166819291)
[#8137](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8137) Somehow, we had failed to
clearly document the full restrictions on package names.
[@linclark](https://github.com/linclark) has now fixed that, although we will
take with us to our graves the reasons why the maximum package name length is 214
characters (well, OK, it was that that was the longest name in the registry
when we decided to put a cap on the name length).

#### ENROBUSTIFICATIONMENT

[#8094](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8094) When we refactored the
configuration code to split out checking for IPv4 local addresses, we
inadvertently completely broke it by failing to return the values. In
addition, just the call to `os.getInterfaces()` could throw on systems where
querying the network configuration requires elevated privileges (e.g. Amazon
Lambda). Add the return, and trap errors so they don't cause npm to explode.

attention! ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

### v2.9.0 (2015-04-23):
This week was kind of a breather to concentrate on fixing up the tests on the
`multi-stage` branch, and not mess with git issues for a little while.
Unfortunately, There are now enough severe git issues that we'll probably have
to spend another couple weeks tackling them. In the meantime, enjoy these two
small features. They're just enough to qualify for a semver-minor bump:
#### NANOFEATURES
* [`2799322`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/279932298ce5b589c5eea9439ac40b88b99c6a4a)

version on version tags is now configurable via `tag-version-prefix`. Be
careful with this one and read the docs before using it.

#### OTHER MINOR TWEAKS
* [`18ce0ec`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/18ce0ecd2d94ad3af01e997f1396515892dd363c)
[#3032](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3032) `npm unpublish` will now use
the registry set in `package.json`, just like `npm publish`. This only
applies, for now, when unpublishing the entire package, as unpublishing a
single version requires the name be included on the command line and
therefore doesn't read from `package.json`. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))

### v2.8.4 (2015-04-16):
This is the fourth release of npm this week, so it's mostly just landing a few
small outstanding PRs on dependencies and some tiny documentation tweaks.
`npm@2.8.3` is where the real action is.

friendlier. ([@sandfox](https://github.com/sandfox))
### v2.8.3 (2015-04-15):
#### TWO SMALL GIT TWEAKS
This is the last of a set of releases intended to ensure npm's git support is
robust enough that we can stop working on it for a while. These fixes are
small, but prevent a common crasher and clear up one of the more confusing
error messages coming out of npm when working with repositories hosted on git.
* [`387f889`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/387f889c0e8fb617d9cc9a42ed0a3ec49424ab5d)

* [`394c2f5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394c2f5a1227232c0baf42fbba1402aafe0d6ffb)
Switch the order in which hosted Git providers are checked to `git:`,
`git+https:`, then `git+ssh:` (from `git:`, `git+ssh:`, then `git+https:`) in
an effort to go from most to least likely to succeed, to make for less
confusing error message. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
### v2.8.2 (2015-04-14):
#### PEACE IN OUR TIME
npm has been having an issue with CouchDB's web server since the release
of io.js and Node.js 0.12.0 that has consumed a huge amount of my time
to little visible effect. Sam Mikes picked up the thread from me, and
after a [_lot_ of effort](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7699#issuecomment-93091111)
figured out that ultimately there are probably a couple problems with
the new HTTP Agent keep-alive handling in new versions of Node. In
addition, `npm-registry-client` was gratuitously sending a body along
with a GET request which was triggering the bugs. Sam removed about 10 bytes from
one file in `npm-registry-client`, and this problem, which has been bugging us for months,
completely went away.
In conclusion, Sam Mikes is great, and anybody using a private registry

### v2.8.1 (2015-04-12):
#### CORRECTION: NPM'S GIT INTEGRATION IS DOING OKAY
A [helpful bug report](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7872#issuecomment-91809553)
led to another round of changes to
[`hosted-git-info`](https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/commit/827163c74531b69985d1ede7abced4861e7b0cd4),
some additional test-writing, and a bunch of hands-on testing against actual
private repositories. While the complexity of npm's git dependency handling is
nearly fractal (because npm is very complex, and git is even more complex),
it's feeling way more solid than it has for a while. We think this is a
substantial improvement over what we had before, so give `npm@2.8.1` a shot if
you have particularly complex git use cases and
[let us know](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/new) how it goes.
(NOTE: These changes mostly affect cloning and saving references to packages
hosted in git repositories, and don't address some known issues with things
like lifecycle scripts not being run on npm dependencies. Work continues on
other issues that affect parity between git and npm registry packages.)

#### SCOPED DEPENDENCIES AND PEER DEPENDENCIES: NOT QUITE REESE'S
Big thanks to [@ewie](https://github.com/ewie) for identifying an issue with
how npm was handling `peerDependencies` that were implicitly installed from the
`package.json` files of scoped dependencies. This
[will be a moot point](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6565#issuecomment-74971689)
with the release of `npm@3`, but until then, it's important that
`peerDependency` auto-installation work as expected.

#### MAKING IT EASIER TO WRITE NPM TESTS, VERSION 0.0.1
[@iarna](https://github.com/iarna) and I
([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) have been discussing a
[candidate plan](https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/rewriting-npm's-tests:-a-plan-maybe)
for improving npm's test suite, with the goal of making it easier for new
contributors to get involved with npm by reducing the learning curve
necessary to be able to write good tests for proposed changes. This is the
first substantial piece of that effort. Here's what the commit message for
[`ed7e249`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/ed7e249d50444312cd266942ce3b89e1ca049bdf)
had to say about this work:
> It's too difficult for npm contributors to figure out what the conventional
> style is for tests. Part of the problem is that the documentation in
> CONTRIBUTING.md is inadequate, but another important factor is that the tests
> themselves are written in a variety of styles. One of the most notable
> examples of this is the fact that many tests use fixture directories to store
> precooked test scenarios and package.json files.
>
> This had some negative consequences:
>
> * tests weren't idempotent
> * subtle dependencies between tests existed
> * new tests get written in this deprecated style because it's not
> obvious that the style is out of favor
> * it's hard to figure out why a lot of those directories existed,
> because they served a variety of purposes, so it was difficult to
> tell when it was safe to remove them
>
> All in all, the fixture directories were a major source of technical debt, and
> cleaning them up, while time-consuming, makes the whole test suite much more
> approachable, and makes it more likely that new tests written by outside
> contributors will follow a conventional style. To support that, all of the
> tests touched by this changed were cleaned up to pass the `standard` style
> checker.
And here's a little extra context from a comment I left on [#7929](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7929):
> One of the other things that encouraged me was looking at this
> [presentation on technical debt](http://www.slideshare.net/nnja/pycon-2015-technical-debt-the-monster-in-your-closet)

### v2.8.0 (2015-04-09):
#### WE WILL NEVER BE DONE FIXING NPM'S GIT SUPPORT
If you look at [the last release's release
notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#git-mean-git-tuff-git-all-the-way-away-from-my-stuff),
you will note that they confidently assert that it's perfectly OK to force all
GitHub URLs through the same `git:` -> `git+ssh:` fallback flow for cloning. It
turns out that many users depend on `git+https:` URLs in their build
environments because they use GitHub auth tokens instead of SSH keys. Also, in
some cases you just want to be able to explicitly say how a given dependency
should be cloned from GitHub.
Because of the way we resolved the inconsistency in GitHub shorthand handling
[before](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#bug-fixes-1), this
turned out to be difficult to work around. So instead of hacking around it, we
completely redid how git is handled within npm and its attendant packages.
Again. This time, we changed things so that `normalize-package-data` and
`read-package-json` leave more of the git logic to npm itself, which makes
handling shorthand syntax consistently much easier, and also allows users to
resume using explicit, fully-qualified git URLs without npm messing with them.
Here's a summary of what's changed:
* Instead of converting the GitHub shorthand syntax to a `git+ssh:`, `git:`, or
`git+https:` URL and saving that, save the shorthand itself to
`package.json`.
* If presented with shortcuts, try cloning via the git protocol, SSH, and HTTPS
(in that order).
* No longer prompt for credentials -- it didn't work right with the spinner,
and wasn't guaranteed to work anyway. We may experiment with doing this a
better way in the future. Users can override this by setting `GIT_ASKPASS` in
their environment if they want to experiment with interactive cloning, but
should also set `--no-spin` on the npm command line (or run `npm config set
spin=false`).
* **EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE**: Add support for `github:`, `gist:`, `bitbucket:`,
and `gitlab:` shorthand prefixes. GitHub shortcuts will continue to be
normalized to `org/repo` instead of being saved as `github:org/repo`, but
`gitlab:`, `gist:`, and `bitbucket:` prefixes will be used on the command
line and from `package.json`. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS. `package.json` files
published with the new shorthand syntax can _only_ be read by `npm@2.8.0` and
later, and this feature is mostly meant for playing around with it. If you
want to save git dependencies in a form that older versions of npm can read,
use `--save-exact`, which will save the git URL and resolved commit hash of
the head of the branch in a manner similar to the way that `--save-exact`
pins versions for registry dependencies. This is documented (so check `npm
help install` for details), but we're not going to make a lot of noise about
it until it has a chance to bake in a little more.
It is [@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)'s sincere hope that this will
resolve all of the inconsistencies users were seeing with GitHub and git-hosted
packages, but given the level of change here, that may just be a fond wish.
Extra testing of this change is requested.

### v2.7.6 (2015-04-02):
#### GIT MEAN, GIT TUFF, GIT ALL THE WAY AWAY FROM MY STUFF
Part of the reason that we're reluctant to take patches to how npm deals with
git dependencies is that every time we touch the git support, something breaks.
The last few releases are a case in point. `npm@2.7.4` completely broke
installing private modules from GitHub, and `npm@2.7.5` fixed them at the cost
of logging a misleading error message that caused many people to believe that
their dependencies hadn't been successfully installed when they actually had
been.
This all started from a desire to ensure that GitHub shortcut syntax is being
handled correctly. The correct behavior is for npm to try to clone all
dependencies on GitHub (whether they're specified with the GitHub
`organization/repository` shortcut syntax or not) via the plain `git:` protocol
first, and to fall back to using `git+ssh:` if `git:` doesn't work. Previously,
sometimes npm would use `git:` and `git+ssh:` in some cases (most notably when
using GitHub shortcut syntax on the command line), and use `git+https:` in
others (when the GitHub shortcut syntax was present in `package.json`). This
led to subtle and hard-to-understand inconsistencies, and we're glad that as of
`npm@2.7.6`, we've finally gotten things to where they were before we started,
only slightly more consistent overall.
We are now going to go back to our policy of being extremely reluctant to touch
the code that handles Git dependencies.

### v2.7.0 (2015-02-26):
#### SOMETIMES SEMVER MEANS "SUBJECTIVE-EMPATHETIC VERSIONING"
For a very long time (maybe forever?), the documentation for `npm run-script`
has said that `npm restart` will only call `npm stop` and `npm start` when
there is no command defined as `npm restart` in `package.json`. The problem
with this documentation is that `npm run-script` was apparently never wired up
to actually work this way.
Until now.
If the patch below were landed on its own, free of context, it would be a
breaking change. But, since the "new" behavior is how the documentation claims
this feature has always worked, I'm classifying it as a patch-level bug fix. I
apologize in advance if this breaks anybody's deployment scripts, and if it
turns out to be a significant regression in practice, we can revert this change
and move it to `npm@3`, which is allowed to make breaking changes due to being
a new major version of semver.
* [`2f6a1df`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f6a1df3e1e3e0a3bc4abb69e40f59a64204e7aa)
[#1999](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1999) Only run `stop` and `start`
scripts (plus their pre- and post- scripts) when there's no `restart` script
defined. This makes it easier to support graceful restarts of services
managed by npm. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) /
[@scien](https://github.com/scien))
#### A SMALL FEATURE WITH BIG IMPLICATIONS
* [`145af65`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/145af6587f45de135cc876be2027ed818ed4ca6a)

of `node-gyp` modified to work better with io.js without having to touch
npm's code! ([@ackalker](https://github.com/ackalker))
#### [@WATILDE'S](https://github.com/watilde) NPM USABILITY CORNER
Following `npm@2.6.1`'s unexpected fix of many of the issues with `npm update
-g` simply by making `--depth=0` the default for `npm outdated`, friend of npm
[@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) has made several modest changes to npm's
behavior that together justify bumping npm's minor version, as well as making

### v2.5.1 (2015-02-06):
This release doesn't look like much, but considerable effort went into ensuring
that npm's tests will pass on io.js 1.1.0 and Node 0.11.16 / 0.12.0 on both OS
X and Linux.
**NOTE:** there are no actual changes to npm's code in `npm@2.5.1`. Only test

NOTE: This week's registry-2 commands are leading the implementation on
registry.npmjs.org a little bit, so some of the following may not work for
another week or so. Also note that `npm access` has documentation and
subcommands that are not yet finished, because they depend on incompletely
specified registry API endpoints. Things are coming together very quickly,
though, so expect the missing pieces to be filled in the coming weeks.
