### v3.10.8 (2016-09-08)
Monthly releases are so big! Just look at all this stuff!
Our quarter of monthly releases is almost over. The next one, in October, might
very well be our last one as we move to trying something different and learning
lessons from our little experiment.
You may also want to keep an eye our for `npm@4` next month, since we're
planning on finally releasing it then and including a (small) number of breaking
changes we've been meaning to do for a long time. Don't worry, though: `npm@3`
will still be around for a bit and will keep getting better and better, and is
most likely going to be the version that `node@6` uses once it goes to LTS.
As some of us have mentioned before, npm is likely to start doing more regular
semver-major bumps, while keeping those bumps significantly smaller than the
huge effort that was `npm@3` -- we're not very likely to do a world-shaking
thing like that for a while, if ever.
All that said, let's move on to the patches included in v3.10.8!
#### SHRINKWRAP LEVEL UP
The most notable part of this release is a series of commits meant to make `npm
shrinkwrap` more consistent. By itself, shrinkwrap seems like a fairly
straightforward thing to implement, but things get complicated when it starts
interacting with `devDependencies` , `optionalDependencies` , and
`bundledDependencies` . These commits address some corner cases related to these.
* [`a7eca32` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a7eca3246fbbcbb05434cb6677f65d14c945d74f )
[#10073 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/10073 )
Record if a dependency is only used as a devDependency and exclude it from the
shrinkwrap file.
([@bengl](https://github.com/bengl))
* [`1eabcd1` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1eabcd16bf2590364ca20831096350073539bf3a )
[#10073 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/10073 )
Record if a dependency is optional to shrinkwrap.
([@bengl](https://github.com/bengl))
* [`03efc89` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/03efc89522c99ee0fa37d8f4a99bc3b44255ef98 )
[#13692 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13692/ )
We were doing a weird thing where we used a `package.json` field `installable`
to check to see if we'd checked for platform compatibility, and if not did
so. But this was the only place that was ever done so there was no reason to
implement it in such an obfuscated manner.
Instead it now just directly checks and then records that its done so on the
node object with `knownInstallable` . This is useful to know because modules
expanded via shrinkwrap don't go through this– `inflateShrinkwrap` does not
currently have any rollback semantics and so checking this sort of thing there
is unhelpful.

* [`ff87938` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/ff879382fda21dac7216a5f666287b3a7e74a947 )
[#11735 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/11735 )
Running `npm install --save-dev` will now update shrinkwrap file, but only
if there already are devDependencies in it.
([@szimek](https://github.com/szimek))
* [`c00ca3a` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c00ca3aef836709eeaeade91c5305bc2fbda2e8a )
[#13394 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/13394 )
Check installability of modules from shrinkwrap, since modules that came into
the tree vie shrinkwrap won't already have this information recorded in
advance.
([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
#### INSTALLER ERROR REPORTING LEVEL UP
As part of the shrinkwrap push, there were also a lot of error-reporting
improvements. Some to add more detail to error objects, others to fix bugs and
inconsistencies.
* [`2cdd713` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2cdd7132abddcc7f826a355c14348ce9a5897ffe )
Consistently set code on `ETARGET` when fetching package metadata if no

#### MISCELLANEOUS BUGS LEVEL UP
* [`116b6c6` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/116b6c60a174ea0cc49e4d62717e4e26175b6534 )
[#13456 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/13456 )
In lifecycle scripts, any `node_modules/.bin` existing in the hierarchy
should be turned into an entry in the PATH environment variable.
However, prior to this commit, it was splitting based on the string
`node_modules` , rather than restricting it to only path portions like
`/node_modules/` or `\node_modules\` . So, a path containing an entry
like `my_node_modules` would be improperly split.

### v3.10.7 (2016-08-11)
Hi all, today's our first release coming out of the new monthly release
cadence. See below for details. We're all recovered from conferences now
and raring to go! We've got some pretty keen bug fixes and a bunch of
documentation and dependency updates. It's hard to narrow it down to just a
few, but of note are scoped packages in bundled dependencies, the
`preinstall` lifecycle fix, the shrinkwrap and Git dependencies fix and the
fix to a crasher involving cycles in development dependencies.
#### NEW RELEASE CADENCE
Releasing npm has been, for the most part, a very prominent part of our
weekly process process. As part of our efforts to find the most effective
ways to allocate our team's resources, we decided last month that we would
try and slow our releases down to a monthly cadence, and see if we found
ourselves with as much extra time and attention as we expected to have.
Process experiments are useful for finding more effective ways to do our
work, and we're at least going to keep doing this for a whole quarter, and
then measure how well it worked out. It's entirely likely that we'll switch
back to a more frequent cadence, specially if we find that the value that
weekly cadence was providing the community is not worth sacrificing for a
bit of extra time. Does this affect you significantly? Let us know!
#### SCOPED PACKAGES IN BUNDLED DEPENDENCIES
Prior to this release and
[v2.15.10 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/v2.15.10 ), npm had ignored
scoped modules found in `bundleDependencies` .

#### BETTER SHRINKWRAP WITH GIT DEPENDENCIES
* [`0f7e319` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0f7e3197bcec7a328b603efdffd3681bbc40f585 )
[#12718 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12718. )
Update outdated git dependencies found in shrinkwraps. Previously, if the
module version was the same then no update would be completed even if the
committish had changed.
([@kossnocorp](https://github.com/kossnocorp))
#### CYCLES IN DEVELOPMENT DEPENDENCIES NO LONGER CRASH
* [`1691de6` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1691de668d34cd92ab3de08bf3a06085388f2f07 )

* [`1619871` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1619871ac0cc8839dc9962c78e736095976c1eb4 )
[#12893 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12893 )
Only warn about symlink update if version number differs
The update-linked action outputs a warning that it needs to update the
linked package, but can't, There is no need for the package to be updated if
it is already at the correct version. This change does a check before
logging the warning.

* [`8f8d1b3` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8f8d1b33a78c79aff9de73df362abaa7f05751d2 )
[#11398 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/11398 )
Fix bug where `package.json` files that contained a `type` property could
cause crashes. `type` is not a `package.json` property that npm makes use
of and having it should be (and now is) harmless.

[#13581 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/13581 )
The `login` command has long been an alias for `adduser` .
At the same time, there is an expectation not just of that
particular word being something to look for, but of there being
clear symmetry with `logout` .
So it was a bit confusing when `login` didn't show up in
`npm help` on a technicality. This seems like an acceptable
exception to the rule that says "no aliases in `npm help` ".

### v3.10.6 (2016-07-07)
This week we have a bunch of bug fixes for ya! A shrinkwrap regression
introduced in 3.10.0, better lifecycle `PATH` behavior, improvements when
working with registries other than `registry.npmjs.org` and a fix for
hopefully the last _don't print a progress bar over my interactive thingy_
bug.
#### SHRINKWRAP AND DEV DEPENDENCIES
The rewrite in 3.10.0 triggered a bug where dependencies of devDependencies
would be included in your shrinkwrap even if you didn't request
devDependencies.

hopefully this will bring is to where we want to be.

If the registry returns a list of versions some of which are invalid, skip

can happen with other registries.

### v3.10.4 (2016-06-30)
Hey y'all! This release includes a bunch of fixes we've been working on as we
continue on our `big-bug` push. There's still [a lot of it left to
do](https://github.com/npm/npm/labels/big-bug), but once this is done, things
should just generally be more stable, installs should be more reliable and
correct, and we'll be able to move on to more future work. We'll keep doing our
best! 🙌
#### RACES AS WACKY AS [REDLINE ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redline_\(2009_film\ ))
Races are notoriously hard to squash, and tend to be some of the more common
recurring bugs we see on the CLI. [@julianduque ](https://github.com/julianduque )
did some pretty awesome [sleuthing
work](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12669) to track down a cache race and
helpfully submitted a patch. There were some related races in the same area that
also got fixed at around the same time, mostly affecting Windows users.
* [`2a37c97` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2a37c97121483db2b6f817fe85c2a5a77b76080e )
[#12669 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12669 )
[#13023 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13023 )
The CLI is pretty aggressive about correcting permissions across the cache
whenever it writes to it. This aggressiveness caused a couple of races where
temporary cache files would get picked up by `fs.readdir` , and removed before
`chownr` was called on them, causing `ENOENT` errors. While the solution might
seem a bit hamfisted, it's actually perfectly safe and appropriate in this
case to just ignore those resulting `ENOENT` errors.
([@julianduque](https://github.com/julianduque))
* [`ea018b9` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/ea018b9e3856d1798d199ae3ebce4ed07eea511b )
[#13023 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13023 )
If a user were to have SUDO_UID and SUDO_GID, they'd be able to get into a
pretty weird state. This fixes that corner case.
([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
* [`703ca3a` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/703ca3abbf4f1cb4dff08be32acd2142d5493482 )
[#13023 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13023 )
A missing `return` was causing `chownr` to be called on Windows, even though
that's literally pointless, and causing crashes in the process, instead of
short-circuiting. This was entirely dependent on which callback happened to be
called first, and in some cases, the failing one would win the race. This
should prevent this from happening in the future.

#### SHRINKWRAP IS COMPLICATED BUT IT'S BETTER NOW
[@iarna ](https://github.com/iarna ) did some heroic hacking to refactor a bunch
of `shrinkwrap` -related bits and fixed some resolution and pathing issues that
were biting users. The code around that stuff got more readable/maintainable in
the process, too!
* [`346bba1` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/346bba1e1fee9cc814b07c56f598a73be5c21686 )
[#13214 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13214 )
Resolve local dependencies in `npm-shrinkwrap.json` relative to the top of the
tree.

* [`4a67fdb` ](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4a67fdbd0f160deb6644a9c4c5b587357db04d2d )
[#13213 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/13213 )
If you run `npm install modulename` it should, if a `npm-shrinkwrap.json` is
present, use the version found there. If not, it'll use the version found in
your `package.json` , and failing *that* , use `latest` .
This fixes a case where the first check was being bypassed because version
resolution was being done prior to loading the shrinkwrap, and so checks to
match the shrinkwrap version couldn't succeed.
