Notable Changes

This PR supersedes #25551 and includes two releases. This is a significant change because it includes a major rework of the networking layer of npm and a rewrite of many subcommands. This, for example, removes npm-registry-client entirely in favor of npm-registry-fetch and libnpm. We've had to fix a couple of regressions since 6.6.0 came out, and we expect a few others to pop up, but nothing of huge impact has popped up, and they tend to be minor hiccups.

Other changes of note:

  • 02c837e01 #106 Make npm dist-tags the same as npm dist-tag ls. (@isaacs)

  • 1065a7809 #65 Add support for IBM i. (@dmabupt)

  • 8543fc357 pacote@9.4.0: Fall back to "fullfat" packuments on ETARGET errors. This will make it so that, when a package is published but the corgi follower hasn't caught up, users can still install a freshly-published package. (@zkat)

  • Another reminder that we've moved our issue tracking! You can read more about our move away from GitHub for issue tracking on our blog
