v3.3.10 (2015-10-22):

Hey you all! Welcome to a busy bug fix and PR week. We've got changes to how npm install replaces dependencies during updates, improvements to shrinkwrap behavior, and all sorts of doc updates.

In other news, npm@3 landed in node master in preparation for node@5 with 41923c0.

UPDATED DEPS NOW MAKE MORE SENSE

• 971fd47 #9929 Make the tree more consistent by doing updates in place. This means that trees after a dependency version update will more often look the same as after a fresh install. (@iarna)

SHRINKWRAP + DEV DEPS NOW RESPECTED

• eb28a8c #9647 If a shrinkwrap already has dev deps, don't throw them away when someone later runs npm install --save. (@iarna)

FANTASTIC DOCUMENTATION UPDATES

• 291162c #10021 Improve wording in the FAQ to be more empathetic and less jokey. (@TaMe3971)
• 9a28c54 #10020 Document the command to see the list of config defaults in the section on config defaults. (@lady3bean)
• 8770b0a #7600 Add shortcuts to all command documentation. (@RichardLitt)
• e9b7d0d #9950 On errors that can be caused by outdated node & npm, suggest updating as a part of the error message. (@ForbesLindesay)

NEW STANDARD HAS ALWAYS BEEN STANDARD

• 40c1b0f #9954 Update to standard@5 and reformat the source to work with it. (@cbas)
