pnpm now scales network concurrency automatically on high-core machines and ships several reliability fixes.
Minor Changes
Adaptive network concurrency
Network concurrency now scales automatically between 16 and 64 based on the number of pnpm workers (workers × 3). This increases throughput on machines with many CPU cores while keeping resource usage predictable on smaller setups #10068.
Patch Changes
-
trustPolicynow ignores trust evidences from prerelease versions when you install a non-prerelease version, so a trusted prerelease cannot block installing a stable release that lacks trust evidence. -
Handle
ENOENTerrors thrown byfs.linkSync(), which can occur in containerized environments (OverlayFS) instead ofEXDEV. pnpm now gracefully falls back tofs.copyFileSync()in these cases #10217. -
Reverted:
pnpm self-updatedownloading pnpm from the configured npm registry #10205. -
Packages that don't have a
package.jsonfile (like Node.js) are no longer reimported from the store on every install. pnpm now checks an additional file to verify the package innode_modules. -
Correctly read auth tokens for URLs that contain underscores #17.
