v10.29.1: pnpm 10.29.1

Minor Changes

• The pnpm dlx / pnpx command now supports the catalog: protocol. Example: pnpm dlx shx@catalog:.
• Support configuring auditLevel in the pnpm-workspace.yaml file #​10540.
• Support bare workspace: protocol without version specifier. It is now treated as workspace:* and resolves to the concrete version during publish #​10436.

Patch Changes

• Fixed pnpm list --json returning incorrect paths when using global virtual store #​10187.

• Fix pnpm store path and pnpm store status using workspace root for path resolution when storeDir is relative #​10290.

• Fixed pnpm run -r failing with "No projects matched the filters" when an empty pnpm-workspace.yaml exists #​10497.

• Fixed a bug where catalogMode: strict would write the literal string "catalog:" to pnpm-workspace.yaml instead of the resolved version specifier when re-adding an existing catalog dependency #​10176.

• Fixed the documentation URL shown in pnpm completion --help to point to the correct page at https://pnpm.io/completion #​10281.

• Skip local file: protocol dependencies during pnpm fetch. This fixes an issue where pnpm fetch would fail in Docker builds when local directory dependencies were not available #​10460.

• Fixed pnpm audit --json to respect the --audit-level setting for both exit code and output filtering #​10540.

• update tar to version 7.5.7 to fix security issue

  Updating the version of dependency tar to 7.5.7 because the previous one have a security vulnerability reported here: CVE-2026-24842

• Fix pnpm audit --fix replacing reference overrides (e.g. $foo) with concrete versions #​10325.

• Fix shamefullyHoist set via updateConfig in .pnpmfile.cjs not being converted to publicHoistPattern #​10271.

• pnpm help should correctly report if the currently running pnpm CLI is bundled with Node.js #​10561.

• Add a warning when the current directory contains the PATH delimiter character. On macOS, folder names containing forward slashes (/) appear as colons (:) at the Unix layer. Since colons are PATH separators in POSIX systems, this breaks PATH injection for node_modules/.bin, causing binaries to not be found when running commands like pnpm exec #​10457.

v10.28.2: pnpm 10.28.2

Compare Source

Patch Changes

• Security fix: prevent path traversal in directories.bin field.

• When pnpm installs a file: or git: dependency, it now validates that symlinks point within the package directory. Symlinks to paths outside the package root are skipped to prevent local data from being leaked into node_modules.

  This fixes a security issue where a malicious package could create symlinks to sensitive files (e.g., /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa) and have their contents copied when the package is installed.

  Note: This only affects file: and git: dependencies. Registry packages (npm) have symlinks stripped during publish and are not affected.

• Fixed optional dependencies to request full metadata from the registry to get the libc field, which is required for proper platform compatibility checks #​9950.

v10.26.2: pnpm 10.26.2

Patch Changes

• Improve error message when a package version exists but does not meet the minimumReleaseAge constraint. The error now clearly states that the version exists and shows a human-readable time since release (e.g., "released 6 hours ago") #​10307.

• Fix installation of Git dependencies using annotated tags #​10335.

  Previously, pnpm would store the annotated tag object's SHA in the lockfile instead of the actual commit SHA. This caused ERR_PNPM_GIT_CHECKOUT_FAILED errors because the checked-out commit hash didn't match the stored tag object hash.

• Binaries of runtime engines (Node.js, Deno, Bun) are written to node_modules/.bin before lifecycle scripts (install, postinstall, prepare) are executed #​10244.

• Try to avoid making network calls with preferOffline #​10334.

Minor Changes

• Added --lockfile-only option to pnpm list #​10020.

Patch Changes

• pnpm self-update should download pnpm from the configured npm registry #​10205.
• pnpm self-update should always install the non-executable pnpm package (pnpm in the registry) and never the @pnpm/exe package, when installing v11 or newer. We currently cannot ship @pnpm/exe as pkg doesn't work with ESM #​10190.
• Node.js runtime is not added to "dependencies" on pnpm add, if there's a engines.runtime setting declared in package.json #​10209.
• The installation should fail if an optional dependency cannot be installed due to a trust policy check failure #​10208.
• pnpm list and pnpm why now display npm: protocol for aliased packages (e.g., foo npm:is-odd@3.0.1) #​8660.
• Don't add an extra slash to the Node.js mirror URL #​10204.
• pnpm store prune should not fail if the store contains Node.js packages #​10131.

Minor Changes

• Added support for trustPolicyExclude #​10164.

  You can now list one or more specific packages or versions that pnpm should allow to install, even if those packages don't satisfy the trust policy requirement. For example:

  trustPolicy: no-downgrade
  trustPolicyExclude:
   - chokidar@4.0.3
   - webpack@4.47.0 || 5.102.1

• Allow to override the engines field on publish by the publishConfig.engines field.

Patch Changes

• Don't crash when two processes of pnpm are hardlinking the contents of a directory to the same destination simultaneously #​10179.

Patch Changes

• When the latest version doesn't satisfy the maturity requirement configured by minimumReleaseAge, pick the highest version that is mature enough, even if it has a different major version #​10100.
• create command should not verify patch info.
• Set managePackageManagerVersions to false, when switching to a different version of pnpm CLI, in order to avoid subsequent switches #​10063.

v10.19.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• You can now allow specific versions of dependencies to run postinstall scripts. onlyBuiltDependencies now accepts package names with lists of trusted versions. For example:

  onlyBuiltDependencies:
   - nx@21.6.4 || 21.6.5
   - esbuild@0.25.1

  Related PR: #​10104.

• Added support for exact versions in minimumReleaseAgeExclude #​9985.

  You can now list one or more specific versions that pnpm should allow to install, even if those versions don’t satisfy the maturity requirement set by minimumReleaseAge. For example:

  minimumReleaseAge: 1440
  minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
   - nx@21.6.5

v10.18.3

Patch Changes

• Fix a bug where pnpm would infinitely recurse when using verifyDepsBeforeInstall: install and pre/post install scripts that called other pnpm scripts #​10060.
• Fixed scoped registry keys (e.g., @scope:registry) being parsed as property paths in pnpm config get when --location=project is used #​9362.
• Remove pnpm-specific CLI options before passing to npm publish to prevent "Unknown cli config" warnings #​9646.
• Fixed EISDIR error when bin field points to a directory #​9441.
• Preserve version and hasBin for variations packages #​10022.
• Fixed pnpm config set --location=project incorrectly handling keys with slashes (auth tokens, registry settings) #​9884.
• When both pnpm-workspace.yaml and .npmrc exist, pnpm config set --location=project now writes to pnpm-workspace.yaml (matching read priority) #​10072.
• Prevent a table width error in pnpm outdated --long #​10040.
• Sync bin links after injected dependencies are updated by build scripts. This ensures that binaries created during build processes are properly linked and accessible to consuming projects #​10057.
