v6.3.0-next.0

NEW FEATURES

• ad0dd226f npm/cli#26 npm version now supports a --preid option to specify the preid for prereleases. For example, npm version premajor --preid rc will tag a version like 2.0.0-rc.0. (@dwilches)

MESSAGING IMPROVEMENTS

• c1dad1e99 npm/cli#6 Make npm audit fix message provide better instructions for vulnerabilities that require manual review. (@bradsk88)

• 21cf0ab68 npm/cli#24 Use the defaut OTP explanation everywhere except when the context is "OTP-aware" (like when setting double-authentication). This improves the overall CLI messaging when prompting for an OTP code. (@jdeniau)

MISC

v6.2.0

In case you missed it, we moved!. We look forward to seeing future PRs landing in npm/cli in the future, and we'll be chatting with you all in npm.community. Go check it out!

This final release of [email protected] includes a couple of features that weren't quite ready on time but that we'd still like to include. Enjoy!

FEATURES

• 244b18380 #20554 add support for --parseable output (@luislobo)
• 7984206e2 #12697 Add new sign-git-commit config to control whether the git commit itself gets signed, or just the tag (which is the default). (@tribou)

FIXES

• 4c32413a5 #19418 Do not use SET to fetch the env in git-bash or Cygwin. (@gucong3000)

DEPENDENCY BUMPS

• d9b2712a6 [email protected]: Downgraded to allow better deduplication. This does introduce a bunch of hoek-related audit reports, but they don't affect npm itself so we consider it safe. We'll upgrade request again once node-gyp unpins it. (@simov)
• 2ac48f863 [email protected] (@MylesBorins)
• 8dc6d7640 [email protected]: cli-table2 is unmaintained and required lodash. With this dependency bump, we've removed lodash from our tree, which cut back tarball size by another 300kb. (@Turbo87)
• 90c759fee [email protected] (@zkat)
• 4231a0a1e Add cli-table3 to bundleDeps. (@iarna)
• 322d9c2f1 Make standard happy. (@iarna)

DOCS

• 5724983ea #21165 Fix some markdown formatting in npm-disputes.md. (@hchiam)
• 738178315 #20920 Explicitly state that republishing an unpublished package requires a 72h waiting period. (@gmattie)
• f0a372b07 Replace references to the old repo or issue tracker. We're at npm/cli now! (@zkat)
