🎉 Happy release Tuesday! Today marks a major milestone for the npm CLI team - we’ve officially cut [email protected]
. If you’ve been following along this past year, or more, you’ll now that we’ve been working hard to bring you this release. Our focus & determination excelerated these past 3 months as we picked up a weekly+ release cadence & began addressing bugs/feedback during our beta/rc windows.
As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve still got a lot of room for improvement but we think that the cli is in a very stable place today & ready for you to use. npm v7 will be shipping with Node.js v15 (a PR to land this work will be opened shortly) & we hope to continue the pace of change/improvement as we head in to this last quarter of the year.
You can start using this update today by running:
npm install -g npm@7
