pnpm/pnpm v8.0.0-beta.1 on GitHub

Major Changes

Node.js 14 support dropped.
auto-install-peers is true by default.
dedupe-peer-dependents is true by default.
The registry field is removed from the resolution object in pnpm-lock.yaml.
save-workspace-protocol is rolling by default.
When there's a files field in the package.json, only deploy those files that are listed in it.
Use the same logic also when injecting packages. This behavior can be changed by setting the deploy-all-files setting to true #5911.
Use lockfile v6 by default.
resolve-peers-from-workspace-root is true by default.
publishConfig.linkDirectory is true by default.
resolution-mode is lowest-direct by default.
Direct dependencies are deduped. So if the same dependency is both in a project and in the workspace root, then it is only linked to the workspace root.
Create a lockfile even if the project has no dependencies at all.
