### v1.4.29 (2015-10-29):

#### THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN LTS LAND

In a special one-off release as part of the [strategy to get a version of npm
into Node LTS that works with the current
registry](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/issues/37), modify npm to print out
this deprecation banner literally every time npm is invoked to do anything:

```
npm WARN deprecated This version of npm lacks support for important features,
npm WARN deprecated such as scoped packages, offered by the primary npm
npm WARN deprecated registry. Consider upgrading to at least npm@2, if not the
npm WARN deprecated latest stable version. To upgrade to npm@2, run:
npm WARN deprecated
npm WARN deprecated   npm -g install npm@latest-2
npm WARN deprecated
npm WARN deprecated To upgrade to the latest stable version, run:
npm WARN deprecated
npm WARN deprecated   npm -g install npm@latest
npm WARN deprecated
npm WARN deprecated (Depending on how Node.js was installed on your system, you
npm WARN deprecated may need to prefix the preceding commands with `sudo`, or if
npm WARN deprecated on Windows, run them from an Administrator prompt.)
npm WARN deprecated
npm WARN deprecated If you're running the version of npm bundled with
npm WARN deprecated Node.js 0.10 LTS, be aware that the next version of 0.10 LTS
npm WARN deprecated will be bundled with a version of npm@2, which has some small
npm WARN deprecated backwards-incompatible changes made to `npm run-script` and
npm WARN deprecated semver behavior.
```

The message basically tells the tale: Node 0.10 will finally be getting
`npm@2`, so those of you who haven't upgraded your build systems to deal with
its (relatively small) breaking changes should do so now.

Also, this version doesn't even pretend that it can deal with scoped packages,
which, given the confusing behavior of older versions of `npm@1.4`, where it
would sometimes try to install packages from GitHub, is a distinct improvement.

There is no good reason for you as an end user to upgrade to this version of
npm yourself.

### 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.

  [`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

  reducing the resulting Git-related I/O is tracked as

* 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.

* 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 `npm dedupe` on Windows due to incorrect path separators being used

* 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
  [#3463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3463)

  force re-download and installation of all dependencies.
