pnpm 12 Alpha 19

on GitHub

Minor Changes

• Added a new setting, update.githubActionsServer, for specifying the base URL of the GitHub server that hosts the repositories of the GitHub Actions referenced by the workflow files (for example, a GitHub Enterprise Server). When the setting is not defined, the URL is read from the GITHUB_SERVER_URL environment variable, falling back to https://github.com. The URL must use the https:// or http:// protocol #13220.

  pnpm outdated and pnpm update no longer fail when the refs of a GitHub Action's repository cannot be read (for example, when the action's repository is private or hosted on a different GitHub server). Such actions are now skipped with a warning.

  Setting update.githubActions to false now makes pnpm outdated and the interactive pnpm update skip GitHub Actions dependencies.

• Added the pnpm unpublish command: remove a package from the registry entirely (requires --force), or remove the versions matching <package>@<range>, re-pointing dist-tags that referenced them and deleting the orphaned tarballs. Supports --registry and --otp.

Patch Changes

• The token poll for web-based authentication no longer reads the body of non-OK or still-pending (HTTP 202) responses, and caps the token response body it does read at 64 KiB, so a malicious or compromised registry cannot exhaust memory through the poll pnpm/pnpm#12721.

• pnpm install --no-runtime now works without --frozen-lockfile: on a fresh install, runtime dependencies are resolved and recorded in the lockfile, but their archives are not downloaded and their bins are not linked.

• pnpm outdated now aligns its table borders when the output is colorized. The color escape codes in the Package and Latest cells were being counted as visible characters, so the columns and box-drawing borders drifted out of alignment on a terminal.

• pnpm pack and pnpm publish no longer let workspace-root .gitignore / .npmignore rules exclude files matched by the package manifest's files allowlist. Workspace packages whose build output is gitignored at the workspace root (for example a compiled lib/ directory listed in files) were published with almost all payload files missing #13164.

• Fixed pnpm update --latest failing with ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_UPDATE_RESOLVE_LATEST when a dependency uses the workspace: (or link: / file:) protocol. Such a dependency links a local package that may not be published, so there is no registry "latest" to resolve — it is now skipped and preserved verbatim, matching the TypeScript CLI. Previously only workspace:<path> specifiers were skipped, so workspace:* / workspace:^1.0.0 deps pointing at unpublished packages made --latest try to fetch them from the registry and 404.

• pnpm view now accepts the --registry option, matching the TypeScript CLI. Previously the flag was rejected as an unknown argument.

• When the authentication URL cannot be rendered as a QR code (for example when it exceeds the maximum QR data capacity), web-based login now displays the URL alone with a warning instead of aborting authentication pnpm/pnpm#12721.
