v11.16.0: pnpm 11.16

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• The first release of a package now publishes the version written in its manifest verbatim, instead of bumping off it. pnpm version -r and pnpm change status check the registry for each release's current version; when that version is not yet published, the package debuts at it and its pending changesets apply only from the next release. A newly added package seeded at 1100.0.0 with a minor changeset is therefore published as 1100.0.0 rather than skipping straight to 1100.1.0.

• Added a --changeset flag to pnpm update. Set update.changeset to true in pnpm-workspace.yaml to enable this behavior by default, and use --no-changeset to override the setting for one update. After the update completes, pnpm writes a .changeset/pnpm-update-<suffix>.md file declaring a patch bump for every workspace package whose dependencies or optionalDependencies were changed by the update and a major bump when peerDependencies changed, including packages that consume an updated catalog entry via the catalog: protocol. Private packages, packages without a name, and packages listed in the ignore array of .changeset/config.json are skipped. If .changeset/config.json does not exist, a warning is printed and no changeset is generated.

• Added GitHub Actions dependencies to pnpm outdated and interactive pnpm update. Non-interactive updates can include them with --include-github-actions or by setting update.githubActions to true in pnpm-workspace.yaml. Updated actions are pinned to exact commit hashes with their release tags preserved in comments.

• Added update and audit settings sections to pnpm-workspace.yaml, superseding the awkwardly named updateConfig, auditConfig, and top-level auditLevel settings:

  update:
    ignoreDeps: # was updateConfig.ignoreDependencies
      - webpack
      - "@​babel/*"
  
  audit:
    level: high # was auditLevel
    ignore: # was auditConfig.ignoreGhsas
      - GHSA-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz

  update.ignoreDeps lists dependency name patterns that pnpm update and pnpm outdated should skip. audit.level and audit.ignore tune pnpm audit.

  The deprecated updateConfig, auditConfig, and auditLevel settings keep working until the next major version. When both a new section value and its deprecated counterpart are set, the new section takes precedence and a warning is printed. Both the TypeScript CLI and the Rust config surface (pacquet) recognize the new sections.

Patch Changes

• Fixed pnpm add --save-exact/--save-prefix and pnpm update writing a package's version with the peerDependencies range's prefix (e.g. ^19.2.7 instead of the requested 19.2.7) whenever the same package also appeared in peerDependencies. A real dependencies/devDependencies/optionalDependencies entry now takes precedence over a same-named peerDependencies entry when computing the current specifiers #​13108.
