### v2.14.20 (2016-02-18): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hope y'all are having a nice week! As usual, it's a fairly limited release. The |
|
|
|
most notable thing is some dependency updates that might help the Node.js CI |
|
|
|
setup for Windows run a little better, even if we have some work to do on that |
|
|
|
path length things, still. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### WHITTLING AWAY AT PATH LENGTHS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So for all of you who don't know -- Node.js does, in fact, support long Windows |
|
|
|
paths. Unfortunately, depending on the tool and the Windows version, a lot of |
|
|
|
external tooling does not. This means, for example, that some (all?) versions of |
|
|
|
Windows Explorer *can literally never delete npm from their system entirely |
|
|
|
because of deeply-nested npm dependencies*. Which is pretty gnarly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, if you run into that in particularly, you can use |
|
|
|
[rimraf](npm.im/rimraf) to remove such files 💁. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The latest victim of this issue was the Node.js CI setup for testing on Windows, |
|
|
|
which uses some tooling or another that croaks on the usual path length limit |
|
|
|
for that OS: 255 characters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This issue, of course, is largely not a problem as of `npm@3`, with its flat |
|
|
|
trees, but it still occasionally and viciously bites LTS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've taken another baby step towards alleviating this in this release by |
|
|
|
updating a couple of dependencies that were preventing `npmlog` from deduping, |
|
|
|
and then doing a dedupe on that and `gauge`. Hopefully it helps. |

[#11528](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/11528) |

`npm-install-checks@1.0.7`: Just updates the version of npmlog so we can |
|
|
|
dedupe it better. |

`node-gyp@3.3.0`: AIX support, new `gyp`, update `npmlog` (for the dedupe), |

adds `--cafile` command line option, and allows configuration of Node.js and |

io.js mirrors. |

Do a `dedupe` on `gauge` to flatten our dependencies a bit more. |
