### v2.5.1 (2015-02-06):

This release doesn't look like much, but considerable effort went into ensuring
that npm's tests will pass on io.js 1.1.0 and Node 0.11.16 / 0.12.0 on both OS
X and Linux.

**NOTE:** there are no actual changes to npm's code in `npm@2.5.1`. Only test
code (and the upgrade of `request` to the latest version) has changed.

### v2.4.0 (2015-01-22):

#### REGISTRY 2: ACCESS AND DIST-TAGS

NOTE: This week's registry-2 commands are leading the implementation on
registry.npmjs.org a little bit, so some of the following may not work for
another week or so. Also note that `npm access` has documentation and
subcommands that are not yet finished, because they depend on incompletely
specified registry API endpoints. Things are coming together very quickly,
though, so expect the missing pieces to be filled in the coming weeks.

### v1.3.21 (2013-12-17):

* Fix a critical bug that prevented publishing due to incorrect hash
  calculation.
  ([`4ca4a2c`](https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/commit/4ca4a2c6333144299428be6b572e2691aa59852e),
  [@dominictarr](https://github.com/dominictarr))

### v1.3.20 (2013-12-17):

* Fixes a critical bug in v1.3.19.  Thankfully, due to that bug, no one could
  install npm v1.3.19 :)

### v1.3.19 (2013-12-16):

* Adds atomic PUTs for publishing packages, which should result in far fewer
  requests and less room for replication errors on the server-side.

### v1.3.18 (2013-12-16):

* Added an `--ignore-scripts` option, which will prevent `package.json` scripts
  from being run. Most notably, this will work on `npm install`, so e.g. `npm
  install --ignore-scripts` will not run preinstall and prepublish scripts.

  [@sqs](https://github.com/sqs))
* Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3.16 that would manifest with certain cache
  configurations, by causing spurious errors saying "Adding a cache directory
  to the cache will make the world implode."

* Re-fixed the multiple download of URL dependencies, whose fix was reverted in
  1.3.17.

### v1.3.17 (2013-12-11):

* This release reverts
  [`644c2ff`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/644c2ff3e3d9c93764f7045762477f48864d64a7),
  which avoided re-downloading URL and shinkwrap dependencies when doing `npm
  install`. You can see the in-depth reasoning in
  [`d8c907e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d8c907edc2019b75cff0f53467e34e0ffd7e5fba);
  the problem was, that the patch changed the behavior of `npm install -f` to
  reinstall all dependencies.
* A new version of the no-re-downloading fix has been submitted as
  [#4303](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4303) and will hopefully be
  included in the next release.

### v1.3.16 (2013-12-11):

* Git URL dependencies are now updated on `npm install`, fixing a two-year old
  bug
  ([`5829ecf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/5829ecf032b392d2133bd351f53d3c644961396b),
  [@robertkowalski](https://github.com/robertkowalski)). Additional progress on
  reducing the resulting Git-related I/O is tracked as
  [#4191](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4191), but for now, this will be a
  big improvement.
* Added a `--json` mode to `npm outdated` to give a parseable output.

  [@yyx990803](https://github.com/yyx990803))
* Made `npm outdated` much prettier and more useful. It now outputs a
  color-coded and easy-to-read table.

* Added the `--depth` option to `npm outdated`, so that e.g. you can do `npm
  outdated --depth=0` to show only top-level outdated dependencies.

  [@yyx990803](https://github.com/yyx990803))
* Added a `--no-git-tag-version` option to `npm version`, for doing the usual
  job of `npm version` minus the Git tagging. This could be useful if you need
  to increase the version in other related files before actually adding the
  tag.

* Made `npm repo` and `npm docs` work without any arguments, adding them to the
  list of npm commands that work on the package in the current directory when
  invoked without arguments.

  still want to implement this for; see
  [#4204](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4204).
* Pass through the `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable to Git, if it is
  set; we currently do this with a few other environment variables, but we
  missed that one.

* Fixed the `npm help` command when multiple words were searched for; it
  previously gave a `ReferenceError`.

* Stopped re-downloading URL and shrinkwrap dependencies, as demonstrated in

  force re-download and installation of all dependencies.
