npm 2.0.0 is a major version change but don’t be afraid, your code probably won’t break
npm maintainer Forrest Norvell (@othiym23) introduces npm 2.0.0:
“Last week, I released npm@2.0.0. If you’ve been using npm@1.4, it’s a substantial update, but that’s not why it’s 2.0.0. npm@1.0.1 was released on April 30th, 2011 - three and a half years ago.”
Notable changes include:
- Ability to pass arguments into scripts
- Scoped packages
- Bearer token auth
- Node 0.8+ is required
- Numerous bugfixes
