pnpm 12.5.1

pnpm 12.5.1

on Node.js NPM

Patch Changes

• pnpm now reports an unknown task setting in pnpm-workspace.yaml and carries on. It used to refuse to start, so a project could not use a task setting that only the pnpm version its packageManager pins reads. The setting is still an error when the running pnpm is that pinned version.

• Python interpreter installation now retries historical release metadata requests. It caches the release list for up to 24 hours and refreshes it once after a lookup miss. When a release omits the current platform, the search samples at most eight other releases before reporting that the lookup is inconclusive.

• Python registries entries now route packages by exact names or trailing-prefix patterns in packages. Registry declaration order no longer affects resolution. A matched package resolves exclusively from its assigned registry, including transitive and build dependencies. Use packages: ["*"] to declare the default index.

• pnpm install no longer fails with "Too many levels of symbolic links" when a Cargo configuration file above the workspace is a symlink, such as a ~/.cargo/config.toml linked from a dotfiles repository.

• pnpm install now returns "Already up to date" in a workspace where dedupeDirectDeps left a project without a node_modules directory of its own. Such a project forced a full install on every run.

• pnpm install no longer refuses the repeat-install fast path just because a changed pnpm-lock.yaml is 16 MiB or larger. Such a lockfile forced a full install on the run after every change.
