v10.12.1

Minor Changes

• Experimental. Added support for global virtual stores. When enabled, node_modules contains only symlinks to a central virtual store, rather to node_modules/.pnpm. By default, this central store is located at <store-path>/links (you can find the store path by running pnpm store path).

  In the central virtual store, each package is hard linked into a directory whose name is the hash of its dependency graph. This allows multiple projects on the system to symlink shared dependencies from this central location, significantly improving installation speed when a warm cache is available.

  This is conceptually similar to how NixOS manages packages, using dependency graph hashes to create isolated and reusable package directories.

  To enable the global virtual store, set enableGlobalVirtualStore: true in your root pnpm-workspace.yaml, or globally via:

  pnpm config -g set enable-global-virtual-store true

  NOTE: In CI environments, where caches are typically cold, this setting may slow down installation. pnpm automatically disables the global virtual store when running in CI.

  Related PR: #​8190

• The pnpm update command now supports updating catalog: protocol dependencies and writes new specifiers to pnpm-workspace.yaml.
• Added two new CLI options (--save-catalog and --save-catalog-name=<name>) to pnpm add to save new dependencies as catalog entries. catalog: or catalog:<name> will be added to package.json and the package specifier will be added to the catalogs or catalog[<name>] object in pnpm-workspace.yaml #​9425.
• Semi-breaking. The keys used for side-effects caches have changed. If you have a side-effects cache generated by a previous version of pnpm, the new version will not use it and will create a new cache instead #​9605.
• Added a new setting called ci for explicitly telling pnpm if the current environment is a CI or not.

Patch Changes

• Sort versions printed by pnpm patch using semantic versioning rules.
• Improve the way the error message displays mismatched specifiers. Show differences instead of 2 whole objects #​9598.
• Revert #​9574 to fix a regression #​9596.

Patch Changes

• Fix an issue in which pnpm deploy --legacy creates unexpected directories when the root package.json has a workspace package as a peer dependency #​9550.
• Dependencies specified via a URL that redirects will only be locked to the target if it is immutable, fixing a regression when installing from GitHub releases. (#​9531)
• Installation should not exit with an error if strictPeerDependencies is true but all issues are ignored by peerDependencyRules #​9505.
• Use pnpm_config_ env variables instead of npm_config_ #​9571.
• Fix a regression (in v10.9.0) causing the --lockfile-only flag on pnpm update to produce a different pnpm-lock.yaml than an update without the flag.
• Let pnpm deploy work in repos with overrides when inject-workspace-packages=true #​9283.
• Fixed the problem of path loss caused by parsing URL address. Fixes a regression shipped in pnpm v10.11 via #​9502.
• pnpm -r --silent run should not print out section #​9563.

Minor Changes

• A new setting added for pnpm init to create a package.json with type=module, when init-type is module. Works as a flag for the init command too #​9463.

• Added support for Nushell to pnpm setup #​6476.

• Added two new flags to the pnpm audit command, --ignore and --ignore-unfixable #​8474.

  Ignore all vulnerabilities that have no solution:

  > pnpm audit --ignore-unfixable

  Provide a list of CVE's to ignore those specifically, even if they have a resolution.

  > pnpm audit --ignore=CVE-2021-1234 --ignore=CVE-2021-5678

• Added support for recursively running pack in every project of a workspace #​4351.

  Now you can run pnpm -r pack to pack all packages in the workspace.

Patch Changes

• pnpm version management should work, when dangerouslyAllowAllBuilds is set to true #​9472.
• pnpm link should work from inside a workspace #​9506.
• Set the default workspaceConcurrency to Math.min(os.availableParallelism(), 4) #​9493.
• Installation should not exit with an error if strictPeerDependencies is true but all issues are ignored by peerDependencyRules #​9505.
• Read updateConfig from pnpm-workspace.yaml #​9500.
• Add support for recursive pack
• Remove url.parse usage to fix warning on Node.js 24 #​9492.
• pnpm run should be able to run commands from the workspace root, if ignoreScripts is set tot true #​4858.
