Minor Changes

• There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies. In most cases, such attacks are discovered quickly and the malicious versions are removed from the registry within an hour.

  The new setting is called minimumReleaseAge. It specifies the number of minutes that must pass after a version is published before pnpm will install it. For example, setting minimumReleaseAge: 1440 ensures that only packages released at least one day ago can be installed.

  If you set minimumReleaseAge but need to disable this restriction for certain dependencies, you can list them under the minimumReleaseAgeExclude setting. For instance, with the following configuration pnpm will always install the latest version of webpack, regardless of its release time:

  minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
    - webpack

  Related issue: #​9921.

• Added support for finders #​9946.

  In the past, pnpm list and pnpm why could only search for dependencies by name (and optionally version). For example:

  pnpm why minimist
  

  prints the chain of dependencies to any installed instance of minimist:

  verdaccio 5.20.1
  ├─┬ handlebars 4.7.7
  │ └── minimist 1.2.8
  └─┬ mv 2.1.1
    └─┬ mkdirp 0.5.6
      └── minimist 1.2.8
  

  What if we want to search by other properties of a dependency, not just its name? For instance, find all packages that have react@17 in their peer dependencies?

  This is now possible with "finder functions". Finder functions can be declared in .pnpmfile.cjs and invoked with the --find-by=<function name> flag when running pnpm list or pnpm why.

  Let's say we want to find any dependencies that have React 17 in peer dependencies. We can add this finder to our .pnpmfile.cjs:

  module.exports = {
    finders: {
      react17: (ctx) => {
        return ctx.readManifest().peerDependencies?.react === "^17.0.0";
      },
    },
  };

  Now we can use this finder function by running:

  pnpm why --find-by=react17
  

  pnpm will find all dependencies that have this React in peer dependencies and print their exact locations in the dependency graph.

  @​apollo/client 4.0.4
  ├── @​graphql-typed-document-node/core 3.2.0
  └── graphql-tag 2.12.6
  

  It is also possible to print out some additional information in the output by returning a string from the finder. For example, with the following finder:

  module.exports = {
    finders: {
      react17: (ctx) => {
        const manifest = ctx.readManifest();
        if (manifest.peerDependencies?.react === "^17.0.0") {
          return `license: ${manifest.license}`;
        }
        return false;
      },
    },
  };

  Every matched package will also print out the license from its package.json:

  @​apollo/client 4.0.4
  ├── @​graphql-typed-document-node/core 3.2.0
  │   license: MIT
  └── graphql-tag 2.12.6
      license: MIT
  

Patch Changes

• Fix deprecation warning printed when executing pnpm with Node.js 24 #​9529.
• Throw an error if nodeVersion is not set to an exact semver version #​9934.
• pnpm publish should be able to publish a .tar.gz file #​9927.
• Canceling a running process with Ctrl-C should make pnpm run return a non-zero exit code #​9626.

Patch Changes

• Fix .pnp.cjs crash when importing subpath #​9904.
• When resolving peer dependencies, pnpm looks whether the peer dependency is present in the root workspace project's dependencies. This change makes it so that the peer dependency is correctly resolved even from aliased npm-hosted dependencies or other types of dependencies #​9913.

Minor Changes

• Added the cleanupUnusedCatalogs configuration. When set to true, pnpm will remove unused catalog entries during installation #​9793.
• Automatically load pnpmfiles from config dependencies that are named @*/pnpm-plugin-* #​9780.
• pnpm config get now prints an INI string for an object value #​9797.
• pnpm config get now accepts property paths (e.g. pnpm config get catalog.react, pnpm config get .catalog.react, pnpm config get 'packageExtensions["@​babel/parser"].peerDependencies["@​babel/types"]'), and pnpm config set now accepts dot-leading or subscripted keys (e.g. pnpm config set .ignoreScripts true).
• pnpm config get --json now prints a JSON serialization of config value, and pnpm config set --json now parses the input value as JSON.

Patch Changes

• Semi-breaking. When automatically installing missing peer dependencies, prefer versions that are already present in the direct dependencies of the root workspace package #​9835.
• When executing the pnpm create command, must verify whether the node version is supported even if a cache already exists #​9775.
• When making requests for the non-abbreviated packument, add */* to the Accept header to avoid getting a 406 error on AWS CodeArtifact #​9862.
• The standalone exe version of pnpm works with glibc 2.26 again #​9734.
• Fix a regression in which pnpm dlx pkg --help doesn't pass --help to pkg #​9823.
