Breaking Changes

  • Node.js v10 support is dropped. At least Node.js v12.17 is required for the package to work.

  • The lockfile version is bumped to v5.3. Changes in the new format:

    • Blank lines added between package/project entries to improve readability and decrease merge issues.
    • The resolution field is now always written in a single line and is always the first key in the package objects.
    • A new field is added to the package objects: transitivePeerDependencies.
  • The layout of the virtual store directory has changed (node_modules/.pnpm) to allow keeping cache in it:

    • All packages inside the virtual store directory are on the same depth. Instead of subdirectories, one directory is used with # instead of slashes.
    • New setting added: modules-cache-max-age. The default value of the setting is 10080 (7 days in seconds). modules-cache-max-age is the time in minutes after which pnpm should remove the orphan packages from node_modules.
  • pnpmfile.js renamed to .pnpmfile.cjs in order to force CommonJS.

  • .pnp.js renamed to .pnp.cjs in order to force CommonJS.

  • The pnpm-prefix setting is removed. Use global-dir to specify a custom location for the globally installed packages.

  • The default depth of an update is Infinity, not 0.

  • The --global option should be used when linking from/to the global modules directory.

    Linking a package to the global directory:

    • pnpm v4: pnpm link
    • pnpm v5: pnpm link --global

    Linking a package from the global directory:

    • pnpm v4: pnpm link foo
    • pnpm v5: pnpm link --global foov
