Release 4.3.0

ยท 4 min read

Verdaccio keeps growing thanks to their users. This release is a minor one we do every month, further information about our releases can be read here.

Furthermore, the info about the release is also available at the GitHub releases page.

We have some highlights to share:

  • At this stage, Docker ๐Ÿณ pulls have grown to 5.7 million pulls.
  • We just reached 7.9k ๐ŸŒŸ, would you help us to reach 10k? Give us your star โญ๏ธ!
  • Blog ๐Ÿ—’: Don't miss our new entry Managing multiple projects with Lerna and Yarn Workspaces by @sergiohgz.
  • Monorepo: Along the last months we have crafted our monorepo for grouping all our ecosystem, plugin, core and tooling packages. This does not mean Verdaccio will become a monorepo, rather it will help us to grow without affecting the main repository and do easy updates or respond fast to mistakes in any release.
  • Hacktoberfest ๐ŸŽƒ is here: We have prepared a guide if you want to contribute to Verdaccio, feel free to read it and give us feedback.

Experiment Flagsโ€‹

This release includes a new property named experiments that can be placed in the config.yaml and is completely optional.

We want to be able to ship new things without affecting production environments. This flag allows us to add new features and get feedback from the community that wants to use them.

The features that are under this flag might not be stable or might be removed in future releases.

New Featuresโ€‹

Browse web packages by version by @juanpicadoโ€‹

When you publish a new version of your package, you want to be able to access the previous ones, that's exactly what you can do with this new release.
