v3.7.3
Hey all! We've got a pretty small release this week -- just documentation updates and a couple of dependencies. This release also includes a particular dependency upgrade that makes it so we're exclusively using the latest version of graceful-fs, which'll make it so things keep working with future Node.js releases.
A certain internal Node.js API was deprecated and slated for future removal from Node Core. This API was critical for versions of graceful-fs@<4, before a different approach was used to achieve similar ends. By upgrading this library, and making sure all our dependencies are also updated, we've ensured npm will continue to work once the API is finally removed. Older versions of npm, on the other hand, will simply not work on future versions of Node.js.
