pnpm 11.15 through 11.19 teach pnpm update and pnpm outdated to update GitHub Actions, let pnpm update write changesets for the bumps it makes, introduce cleaner update and audit settings sections, add publishConfig.name for publishing a package under a different…

pnpm 11.11 through 11.14 add native workspace release management (pnpm change, pnpm lane, and a bare pnpm version -r), a pnpm doctor command that diagnoses your installation end to end, the pnpm access and pnpm team commands for managing packages and organizations on…

A new _auth setting configures registry authentication as a single structured value that survives CI environment variable naming restrictions (fixing a long-standing GitHub Actions and shell limitation with /, :, or . characters). New pnpm prefix and pnpm issues commands are available, and pnpm self-update can now install pnpm v12 (the Rust port). Improved pnpm up accuracy to avoid unrelated package bumps, sped up resolution against non-compliant registries, and hardened global package management, pnpm deploy, and pnpm pack-app.

pnpm 11.9 computes missing tarball integrity for registries that cannot publish checksums, adds pnpm sbom --exclude-peers, improves audit performance on cyclic lockfiles, fixes peer-resolution nondeterminism, and tightens exclusion handling for minimumReleaseAge and…

pnpm 11.8 adds install dry-run previews, Node.js package map generation, richer SBOM output, pnpm view defaulting to the current package, and correct pnpm run --no-bail exit codes. It also includes a config-dependency lockfile traversal fix and many install/update…

pnpm 11.7 adds a frozenStore setting for installing against a read-only package store, a --batch flag for publishing a whole workspace in one request, scope-specific auth tokens, and full resolving installs delegated to pacquet. It also hardens lockfile alias handling, makes…

pnpm used to expand ${ENV_VAR} placeholders everywhere it found them — including in the .npmrc and pnpm-workspace.yaml files that live inside the repository you just cloned. That turned out to be a way for a malicious repository to steal the secrets in your environment. As…

pnpm 11.6 adds a file-free way to supply registry authentication through npm_config_//… and pnpm_config_//… environment variables, raises the default network concurrency, and skips full re-resolution when only pnpm-lock.yaml is missing. It also infers platform fields for…

pnpm 11.5 adds a hoistingLimits setting for controlling how far dependencies hoist in nodeLinker: hoisted installs, replaces the interactive prompt library to fix scrolling in long choice lists, recognizes staged publishes in the trust scale, and ships several install and…

pnpm 11.4 closes a cluster of supply-chain holes around lockfile integrity, credential scoping, git resolutions, patch files, and dependency aliases, makes tarball-integrity mismatches a hard install failure by default (with a narrowly-scoped --update-checksums opt-in), and…

pnpm 11.3 adds support for npm's staged publishing (pnpm stage), the new trustLockfile setting for skipping the supply-chain verification pass on already-trusted lockfiles, and native implementations of pnpm pkg, pnpm repo, and…

pnpm 11.2 ships an experimental opt-in into pacquet (the Rust port of pnpm) as the install backend, expands config dependencies to install one level of optionalDependencies (so the esbuild/swc…

pnpm 11.1 adds a few new commands — pnpm audit signatures, pnpm bugs, and pnpm owner — alongside support for installing from arbitrary named registries (including a built-in…

pnpm 11 is here! This release tightens the security defaults introduced throughout the v10 cycle, drops the npm CLI fallback for publishing in favor of a native implementation, replaces the JSON-per-package store index with a single SQLite database, and isolates global installs…

pnpm 10.32 adds an --all flag to pnpm approve-builds for approving all pending builds without interactive prompts.

pnpm 10.31 preserves comments and formatting when updating pnpm-workspace.yaml, and includes numerous bug fixes.

pnpm 10.30 redesigns pnpm why to show a reverse dependency tree, making it much easier to understand why a package is installed.

pnpm 10.29 adds catalog: protocol support to pnpm dlx, allows configuring auditLevel in pnpm-workspace.yaml, supports a bare workspace: specifier, and includes several bug fixes.

pnpm 10.28 introduces a new beforePacking hook to customize package.json at publish time, improves filtered install performance, and includes several bug fixes.

pnpm 10.27 adds a new setting to ignore trust policy checks for older package versions, introduces a project registry for global virtual store pruning, and includes several bug fixes.
