BREAKING CHANGES

After updating we strongly recommend running lerna repair in your project. This will migrate your lerna.json to the latest and greatest and remove any outdated options.

As this is a major release there are a few breaking changes to be aware of, which may or may not affect your lerna repos, depending on how you are using the tool.

• node v16 support is dropped because it is end of life

When a node version becomes end of life (EOL) it means that it does not receive any updates or maintenance whatsoever, even if critical security vulnerabilities have been uncovered.

We strongly encourage all folks here to keep up with the maintenance LTS version of Node at an absolute minimum:
