Minor Changes

• pnpm config get and pnpm config list now show the settings pnpm acts on under their documented names:

  • registries shows the registries pnpm resolves from, merged across every source (.npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, the global config, CLI flags), in the shape the setting is written in: keyed by registry URL, with the default registry declared as the bare @ scope. Built-in routes are included — the @jsr scope and the npmjs and gh prefixes — unless pointed elsewhere. Previously pnpm config get registries printed undefined.
  • update and audit show the effective sections, whichever spelling set them. The deprecated internal spellings (updateConfig, auditConfig, auditLevel) are no longer listed.
  • catalogs shows the complete resolved catalog set — the singular catalog block is its default entry — whichever spelling declared it.
  • The registry and @scope:registry entries show the merged routes rather than raw .npmrc values, so they always agree with the registries view.

• Settings that no supported pnpm version recognizes get their own warning. A key in the global config file that this version of pnpm does not read is no longer reported with advice to move it to a project-level pnpm-workspace.yaml (where it would be ignored too); the warning now says the setting is not recognized by this version of pnpm, names the pnpm version that does read it when there is one (for example, globalShims is a pnpm v12 setting), and suggests the closest real setting name when the key looks like a typo. Unrecognized and non-camelCase keys in a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml, previously ignored silently, are now reported the same way. pnpm config get <key> and pnpm get <key> no longer print config-load warnings, so a script capturing the value gets the value alone.

• The importPackage pnpmfile hook is deprecated. pnpm now prints a warning when a pnpmfile defines it, and the hook will be removed in the next major version. It also opts the installation out of the parallel package importer, making installation slower. If you rely on this hook, comment on #​14101.

• node_modules/.modules.yaml no longer records the registries an install resolved from, and the recorded copy is dropped from the file on the first install that rewrites it.

  It dated from the lockfile format that spelled a dependency's path relative to its registry, where reading an installed tree meant knowing the registries it was installed with. Dependency paths have not carried a registry for several major versions, and the recorded copy outlived its use: pnpm list, pnpm why, and single-project installs preferred it over the project's own configuration, so a project whose registry had changed since its last install was still read through the old one.

  They now use the configured registries, like every other command already did.

• When enableGlobalVirtualStore is on, every process pnpm spawns for the project (pnpm run, pnpm exec, lifecycle scripts) now receives a NODE_PATH pointing at the project's hoisted node_modules, plus a NODE_OPTIONS --import flag that registers a resolve hook restoring NODE_PATH lookups for ESM imports. Dependencies that import undeclared ("phantom") packages keep resolving under the global virtual store — for both CommonJS and ESM — without installing the @pnpm/plugin-esm-node-path config dependency pnpm/pnpm#9618. Tools run by pnpm dlx resolve such dependencies too: the JS CLI passes them the same environment, while the Rust CLI's dlx cache is self-contained, so its layout already exposes them.

• A registry can now declare that its abbreviated metadata carries the time field, so resolutionMode: time-based reads the full metadata document only from the registries that need it:

  resolutionMode: time-based
  registries:
    https://npm.internal.example/:
      supportsTimeField: true

  registry.npmjs.org omits time from abbreviated metadata, so a time-based resolution has to fall back to the much larger full document. That fallback used to be all-or-nothing: registrySupportsTimeField answered for every registry at once, so a project resolving from both the public registry and a Verdaccio instance either paid for full metadata everywhere or claimed a time field npmjs does not serve. The answer is now per registry, and registrySupportsTimeField remains the answer for every registry that does not declare one.

  The declaration is also sent to a pnpr server, which applies it to the resolution it runs on the client's behalf.

• A pnpr resolve request now carries the client's registries the way the registries setting declares them — keyed by URL, with the scopes routed to each, the bare-specifier prefix each answers to, and each one's serverType — in place of the prefix map it used to send.

  The server routes them through the same inversion the config reader runs, so a pnpr-served install resolves a scoped dependency from the registry that scope is routed to, which it previously could not: only the default registry and the prefix-addressed ones reached the server. A declared serverType reaches it too, so the tarball URLs pnpr omits from the lockfile match the ones the client reconstructs.

  Built-in scope routes the project has not pointed elsewhere are not declared, so a pnpr server's allowlist is not asked about npm.jsr.io on requests that resolve no JSR package.

  A registry a request only declares is no longer refused up front for being off the server's allowlist — a client describes its whole configuration, including scopes a given resolve never reaches, so a stray @scope:registry in a developer's ~/.npmrc no longer fails every install against a pnpr server that does not serve it. The boundary moves to the fetch itself: an origin the resolve does reach is refused before the request leaves the server, with the same message.

  This changes the resolve and verify-lockfile request bodies. A pnpr server and its clients have to be on matching versions; the protocol is still experimental and unversioned.

• The registries setting now declares a registry once, keyed by its URL, with everything about that registry in the entry: how it lays out tarball URLs, the scopes routed to it, and the bare-specifier prefix it answers to.

  registries:
    https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-virtual/:
      serverType: artifactory
      scopes: ['@acme', '@acme-internal']
      prefix: work

  • serverType tells pnpm how the registry lays out its tarball URLs, which decides whether a URL can be omitted from pnpm-lock.yaml:
    • undeclared (the default) — strict. Only the exact canonical URL is treated as reconstructible.
    • npm — the registry behaves like registry.npmjs.org, which also serves a scoped package from its percent-encoded path. Declare this for a faithful mirror or caching proxy of the public registry so its tarball URLs can be omitted too.
    • artifactory — JFrog Artifactory repeats the scope in a scoped package's tarball filename (@acme/widget/-/@acme/widget-1.0.0.tgz) where the npm registry strips it (@acme/widget/-/widget-1.0.0.tgz). Declaring it lets pnpm rebuild that URL, so it is omitted from pnpm-lock.yaml instead of being written out for every scoped package pnpm/get-npm-tarball-url#16.
  • scopes lists the @-prefixed scopes that resolve from this registry. A bare '@' is the scope-less default registry, the one the registry setting names.
  • prefix is the alias a dependency addresses this registry by, as in "foo": "work:^1.0.0".

  The layout is never inferred from the registry URL, so nothing changes unless you declare it; registry.npmjs.org continues to behave as npm without being declared. Because the lockfile depends on serverType, it is read from pnpm-workspace.yaml only — a serverType in the global config.yaml is ignored, so one developer's machine cannot shape a lockfile their collaborators read back with a different layout. Credentials are rejected in this setting, in a key as well as in a field, and still belong in .npmrc. An entry that routes nothing to itself and matches no configured registry is reported as a warning rather than silently ignored.

Migrating

The older registries shape, a map of <scope>: <url> strings, still works and needs no change:

registries:
  '@acme': https://npm.acme.example/

namedRegistries is deprecated in favor of the prefix field, and is still read for prefixes registries does not declare.

toLockfileResolution and isCanonicalRegistryTarballUrl now take their registry and layout as an options object rather than positional arguments, so @pnpm/lockfile.utils and @pnpm/resolving.tarball-url get a major bump.

• An install that had to re-hash store files to verify them now reports it. If that cost more than a second, it says how long — The integrity of N files was checked in 2.5s. — and if it was quick but covered more than a thousand files, it names the cause instead: their timestamps changed since the store recorded them, which a backup tool, an antivirus scan or a copied store can do.

• Added virtualStoreType, which names where the virtual store lives — one store per machine, or one per project:

  virtualStoreType: global   # or: project

  It is the canonical spelling of enableGlobalVirtualStore, which keeps working. When a project sets both, virtualStoreType wins. It can also be set through PNPM_CONFIG_VIRTUAL_STORE_TYPE and read back with pnpm config get virtualStoreType. The default is unchanged — project, so the shared store stays opt-in.

  The setting is independent of nodeLinker. isolated and pnp both work with either store type, and hoisted writes no virtual store at all, so it is unaffected.

Patch Changes

• pnpm add --allow-build now adds to the allowBuilds entries already in pnpm-workspace.yaml instead of replacing them #​13872.

• Kept pending build approvals available after removing an unrelated dependency.

• pnpm approve-builds now removes onlyBuiltDependencies, onlyBuiltDependenciesFile, neverBuiltDependencies, and ignoredBuiltDependencies from pnpm-workspace.yaml when it writes allowBuilds. Those settings were replaced by allowBuilds in pnpm 11 and silently ignored since, so a workspace migrated from pnpm 10 kept them around looking active.

• pnpm audit no longer reports a patched version that was never published or is deprecated. The inferred patched range (e.g. >=4.17.24 from <=4.17.23) is now checked against the registry packument, and the report is corrected to the lowest non-deprecated published version that satisfies it (e.g. >=4.18.1 when 4.17.24 does not exist and 4.18.0 is deprecated). When no published version satisfies the range, the report shows Patched versions: None. This also prevents pnpm audit --fix from adding overrides or minimumReleaseAgeExclude entries for patches that do not exist #​13824.

  pnpm audit --fix and pnpm audit --fix update no longer add a minimumReleaseAgeExclude entry when the registry packument shows that the minimum patched version was never published. Previously such entries were written for versions that do not exist, which would have let a later publish of that version bypass the minimumReleaseAge gate #​11563.

  The --json output of pnpm audit now returns patched_versions: null for advisories whose inferred patch is not available (never published, skipped, yanked, or deprecated), making it easier for tooling to distinguish "no fix available" from "fix available at version X".

• Fixed pnpm patch-commit in project and edit paths containing non-ASCII characters.

• The package and bump pickers of pnpm change now size their page from the terminal height instead of always showing 7 rows. They fall back to 7 rows when the terminal height is unknown pnpm/pnpm#13815.

• Canceling a pnpm change prompt with Ctrl-c no longer prints a stack trace. It reports Change canceled and exits with a success status, like the other interactive commands #​13814.

• Re-fetch full registry metadata when minimumReleaseAge is enabled and an abbreviated packument's time map omits timestamps for some versions. This prevents mature versions from being filtered out and resolution from falling back to the lowest matching version pnpm/pnpm#13741.

• A config dependency carrying an inline integrity (the <version>+<integrity> form, or the object form without a tarball) now takes its tarball URL from the registry's packument instead of deriving it from the registry URL, so migrating one costs an extra metadata request. On a registry that serves tarballs from a path pnpm cannot derive, GitLab's group endpoint for one, installing such a config dependency failed with a 404 while the same package installed fine as a regular dependency #​13765.

• Fixed PNPM_CONFIG_NODE_VERSION being ignored when setting the Node.js version used for compatibility checks.

• A custom fetcher can no longer replace the archive integrity that pnpm-lock.yaml pins: the locked value is restored after a canFetch or fetch hook rewrites the resolution, and delegating a locked archive to a directory or git source now fails instead of installing unverified content.

  The Rust CLI now also loads the pnpmfiles named by the pnpmfile setting (a single path or an ordered list), and hands custom fetchers native localTarball and remoteTarball callbacks — including on a fresh install that has to compute a missing tarball integrity, which is then reused by later offline installs. File maps a fetcher returns are accepted only when they match what those native callbacks extracted.

• Fixed an issue where running pnpm dedupe --check in projects with nodeLinker: hoisted would cause dependencies to be moved out of node_modules into node_modules/.ignored.

• pnpm deploy --prod and pnpm deploy --no-optional no longer list the excluded dependency groups in the deployed package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml. The deployed lockfile referenced packages that the deploy left out of its graph, so installing in the deploy directory afterwards created dangling symlinks #​13623.

• Don't treat files like license16.json as a package license when deciding if the workspace LICENSE file should be included in the packed package.

• pnpm exec --recursive --no-reporter-hide-prefix no longer prints a blank prefixed line after each chunk of a command's output, and no longer splits a line in two when it straddles a chunk boundary.

• Fixed 404 errors when installing from a registry that serves scoped packages only from a percent-encoded path, such as GitHub Enterprise Server. Outside registry.npmjs.org, a tarball URL that encodes the scope separator as %2f or %2F is no longer mistaken for one that pnpm can rebuild from the package name, version, and registry, so it is kept in pnpm-lock.yaml and requested verbatim on the next install #​13534.

• Fixed trustPolicyExclude and minimumReleaseAgeExclude being ignored when set to a single string instead of a list. The value was read one character at a time, so the exclusion never matched the package it named — and a * anywhere in it matched every package, silently switching the policy off.

• pnpm init now pins the exact pnpm version instead of a ^ range, and records it in the packageManager field alongside devEngines.packageManager. Corepack reads only packageManager and accepts nothing but an exact version, so it rejected the generated package.json with "expected a semver version" pnpm/pnpm#13969. A package created inside an existing workspace is still left unpinned — it follows the pin at the workspace root — and --no-init-package-manager still scaffolds a manifest without any pin. In pnpm 12, pnpm init also honors initType and its --init-type flag, so the manifest it writes is the same one pnpm 11 writes.

• Fixed an issue where package overrides were written into the metadata cache, causing removed overrides to keep applying on subsequent installs pnpm/pnpm#13918.

• On Windows, upgrading pnpm no longer leaves a stale pnpm.ps1 behind. PowerShell resolves pnpm.ps1 ahead of pnpm.cmd, so a shim written by an older installation kept running the previous version. Linking the pnpm CLI's bins now deletes it #​13919.

• Fixed an inconsistency where minimumReleaseAgeExclude (and trustPolicyExclude) wildcard/bare-name rules behaved differently in the evaluator and normalizer. A bare rule now consistently evaluates as matching every version, preventing unexpected behavior and silent widening of version policy exemptions when pnpm rewrites the workspace manifest pnpm/pnpm#13725.

• A frozen install no longer rewrites the packageManagerDependencies block of pnpm-lock.yaml. When the pnpm version pinned by devEngines.packageManager (or by packageManager) is missing from the lockfile or no longer matches it, --frozen-lockfile now fails with ERR_PNPM_FROZEN_LOCKFILE_WITH_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE instead of resolving the version and saving it, so a manifest whose pin was bumped without regenerating the lockfile can no longer pass CI #​14009.

• A git dependency installed over HTTPS from a hosted repository now keeps its branch, tag, or version range in the specifier recorded in package.json. It was written back without one, so the next pnpm update moved the dependency to the repository's default branch #​13999.

• Fixed pnpm update --global --latest failing with a 404 error when a globally installed package was not added from the registry by name. Packages installed from a local path (link:/file:), a git repository, a tarball URL, an npm: alias, or a named registry now keep their spec during a global update instead of being looked up by name in the default registry. See #​12854.

• Fix recursive pnpm update <name>@<version> so an exact pinned update stays scoped to the requested version line: copies of the same package on another major line — or, for a 0.x request, another minor line — keep their locked resolution instead of being re-resolved along with the target.

• Under nodeLinker: hoisted, a dependency declared against a peer-resolution variant of a package version is no longer dropped from the installed layout. All variants of a version share one hoisted copy, and edges pointing at any of them now resolve to it, so the depending project keeps the package in its .package-map.json and the depending package keeps it in its node_modules/.bin.

• Fixed pnpm install --merge-git-branch-lockfiles deleting the per-branch lockfiles when the lockfile setting is false. Such an install never reads them, so it has nothing to merge them into and now leaves them alone.

• Fixed pnpm install sometimes not exiting after printing Done in Xs #​12297.

• Fixed pnpm failing to read .modules.yaml files containing long dependency paths #​13875. The manifest is now parsed as JSON (the format pnpm writes it in), falling back to the YAML parser only for manifests written by old pnpm versions.

• With preferSymlinkedExecutables, NODE_PATH again points at the virtual store of the workspace root when pnpm is run from inside a workspace package, so scripts can resolve dependencies that live only in the hoisted store #​13912.

• Reduced registry metadata requests during dependency resolution by reusing cached metadata when lockfile preferences prove that no uncached version can win pnpm/pnpm#13976.

• pnpm pkg get and pnpm pkg set now accept hyphens inside a dot-notation property path, so pnpm pkg get dependencies.some-package-name reads the key instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_TOKEN_IN_PROPERTY_PATH. The bracketed and quoted forms already worked and are unchanged.

• A resolve request now carries the client's resolutionMode, so an install delegated to a pnpr server picks versions the way the client would. time-based and lowest-direct reached the server as nothing at all, leaving it on its highest default: the returned lockfile pinned the highest satisfying version of every dependency, and the setting appeared to be ignored.

  This adds a field to the resolve request body. A server older than its client ignores it and keeps resolving highest; the protocol is still experimental and unversioned.

• Fixed pnpm installs using pnpr to honor the client's autoInstallPeers, dedupePeers, and excludeLinksFromLockfile settings pnpm/pnpm#13389.

• pnpm remove now prunes undecided entries ("set this to true or false") from allowBuilds in pnpm-workspace.yaml when sharedWorkspaceLockfile: true and the corresponding packages are removed pnpm/pnpm#13892.

• Fixed workspace discovery for pnpm-workspace.yaml files without a packages field so commands only consider the workspace root instead of recursively scanning nested projects #​14047.

• A runtime installed through devEngines.runtime now matches the host when supportedArchitectures lists several platforms. Listing os: [darwin, linux] and cpu: [x64, arm64] used to install the runtime built for the first entry of each list, so a machine running Linux on arm64 got a macOS x64 Node.js that could not execute #​13898.

• pnpm sbom now fails with ERR_PNPM_SBOM_MISSING_IMPORTERS when pnpm-lock.yaml has no entry for a selected project, instead of writing an SBOM that under-reports that project's dependencies. Previously this crashed with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'devDependencies').

• pnpm self-update now rewrites a simple devEngines.packageManager.version range (^/~) to the newly installed version, keeping the operator — matching how pnpm update and pnpm runtime set rewrite ranges. Complex ranges such as >=8.0.0 that the new version satisfies are still left unchanged #​13935.

• pnpm self-update <tag> no longer downgrades when the dist-tag points at the pnpm version already running and that version is younger than minimumReleaseAge. The maturity cutoff moved the tag back to the previous mature release, so pnpm self-update next-12 on v12.0.0-rc.4 switched to v12.0.0-rc.3.

• pnpm set-script now updates package.json instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_NOT_IMPLEMENTED pnpm/pnpm#13956.

• pnpm update now preserves the existing range operator when updating a prerelease dependency. See #​7002.

• Installs are faster in workspaces that declare inter-workspace dependencies with plain ranges ("*", "^1.2.3") rather than the workspace: protocol. With preferWorkspacePackages enabled, linking such a dependency no longer makes a registry request that cannot change the outcome — and workspace packages that were never published no longer cost a 404 on every install.

• Added fetchWarnTimeoutMs and fetchMinSpeedKiBps to the Rust pnpm CLI and its N-API bindings. Slow registry metadata requests and tarball downloads now emit pnpm-compatible warnings without exposing URL credentials, query parameters, fragments, or control characters pnpm/pnpm#12042.

• An override change is now absorbed by the fast lockfile update even when another, unchanged override uses the catalog: protocol. Previously any catalog:-valued override forced a full re-resolution whenever the override list changed, which could move unrelated packages in the lockfile (for example after pnpm audit --fix added an override).

• Packed workspace package manifests now preserve dependency order, making repeated pnpm pack output deterministic #​10167.

• pnpm update <name>@<version> now fails with ERR_PNPM_UPDATE_VERSION_ON_INDIRECT_DEP when the package is not a direct dependency of any selected project, instead of quietly updating it to whatever a fresh install would resolve. There is nowhere to record the version in that case, so the request cannot be honored, and the error points at the overrides entry that does pin a transitive dependency. Ranges and tags are unaffected, and a package that any selected project declares directly still takes its version as before.

• trustPolicy: no-downgrade no longer aborts the install with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME on registries that serve no per-version time field when minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime is set. The trust check reads the same publish dates the minimumReleaseAge check does, so it now honors the same opt-in and skips the affected package with a warning #​12446.

  minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime no longer lets a lockfile entry the registry does not list pass the minimumReleaseAge check during lockfile verification. The opt-in covers a registry that cannot date its releases; a packument that does date every version it lists is saying it never published this one, which stays a hard failure.

  The missing-time warning now names the check it is reporting on, so a package whose minimumReleaseAge and trustPolicy checks are both skipped warns about both instead of only the first.

• pnpm update <pkg>@<version> now updates only the selected packages and leaves unrelated dependencies unchanged. A selector that renames the package it installs — pnpm update <alias>@npm:<pkg>@<version> or the jsr: equivalent — now targets the package the alias installs rather than the alias.

• Fixed verifyDepsBeforeRun being ignored when set to install, warn, error, or prompt through the PNPM_CONFIG_VERIFY_DEPS_BEFORE_RUN environment variable or the --config.verify-deps-before-run flag #​13816. Only the boolean values were accepted before, so a string value was silently dropped.

• pnpm version <bump> with --dry-run no longer edits package.json files. It now only reports the bumps it would make, and skips the working tree check, the version lifecycle scripts, the commit, and the tag pnpm/pnpm#13953.
