Patch Changes

• Optimize selection result output of pnpm update --interactive 7109
• When shared-workspace-lockfile is set to false, read the pnpm settings from package.json files that are nested. This was broken in pnpm v8.9.0 #​7184.
• Fix file cloning to node_modules on Windows Dev Drives #​7186. This is a fix to a regression that was shipped with v8.9.0.
• pnpm dlx should ignore any settings that are in a package.json file found in the current working directory #​7198.

Minor Changes

• 🚀Performance improvement: Use reflinks instead of hard links by default on macOS and Windows Dev Drives #​5001.

• The list of packages that are allowed to run installation scripts now may be provided in a separate configuration file. The path to the file should be specified via the pnpm.onlyBuiltDependenciesFile field in package.json. For instance:

  {
    "dependencies": {
      "@​my-org/policy": "1.0.0"
    }
    "pnpm": {
      "onlyBuiltDependenciesFile": "node_modules/@​my-org/policy/allow-build.json"
    }
  }

  In the example above, the list is loaded from a dependency. The JSON file with the list should contain an array of package names. For instance:

  ["esbuild", "@​reflink/reflink"]

  With the above list, only esbuild and @reflink/reflink will be allowed to run scripts during installation.

  Related issue: #​7137.

• Add disallow-workspace-cycles option to error instead of warn about cyclic dependencies

• Allow env rm to remove multiple node versions at once, and introduce env add for installing node versions without setting as default #​7155.

Patch Changes

• Fix memory error in pnpm why when the dependencies tree is too big, the command will now prune the tree to just 10 end leafs and now supports --depth argument #​7122.
• Use neverBuiltDependencies and onlyBuiltDependencies from the root package.json of the workspace, when shared-workspace-lockfile is set to false #​7141.
• Optimize peers resolution to avoid out-of-memory exceptions in some rare cases, when there are too many circular dependencies and peer dependencies #​7149.
• Instead of pnpm.overrides replacing resolutions, the two are now merged. This is intended to make it easier to migrate from Yarn by allowing one to keep using resolutions for Yarn, but adding additional changes just for pnpm using pnpm.overrides.
