npm 7 came with a slew of improvements, including:
🔥 a ~60% increase in speed/performance as compared to v6 benchmarks
❗️shipping faster; releases are now cut weekly
🛡a reduction in dependencies by ~46%
🎉 an increase in code coverage by ~20%
you gave us some great ideas, and helped us implement new features, bug fixes, and more. we even saw a backlogged rfc from ~2 years ago get picked up and taken over the finish line in 7.1.0 (`npm set-script`) 🏁
we have to kick things off with npm 7. this was a massive release, that wouldn’t have been possible without the community. let’s take a look at how we got here...
please note: we're canceling today's open rfc call, but a light reminder that we released v7.7.6 this week. check it out! github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/3…
