Sourced from dotenv's changelog.

17.1.0 (2025-07-07)

Added

• Add additional security and configuration tips to the runtime log (#884)
• Dim the tips text from the main injection information text

const TIPS = [
  '🔐 encrypt with dotenvx: https://dotenvx.com',
  '🔐 prevent committing .env to code: https://dotenvx.com/precommit',
  '🔐 prevent building .env in docker: https://dotenvx.com/prebuild',
  '🛠️  run anywhere with `dotenvx run -- yourcommand`',
  '⚙️  specify custom .env file path with { path: \'/custom/path/.env\' }',
  '⚙️  enable debug logging with { debug: true }',
  '⚙️  override existing env vars with { override: true }',
  '⚙️  suppress all logs with { quiet: true }',
  '⚙️  write to custom object with { processEnv: myObject }',
  '⚙️  load multiple .env files with { path: [\'.env.local\', \'.env\'] }'
]

17.0.1 (2025-07-01)

Changed

• Patched injected log to count only populated/set keys to process.env (#879)

17.0.0 (2025-06-27)

Changed

• Default quiet to false - informational (file and keys count) runtime log message shows by default (#875)

16.6.1 (2025-06-27)

Changed

• Default quiet to true – hiding the runtime log message (#874)
• NOTICE: 17.0.0 will be released with quiet defaulting to false. Use config({ quiet: true }) to suppress.
• And check out the new dotenvx. As coding workflows evolve and agents increasingly handle secrets, encrypted .env files offer a much safer way to deploy both agents and code together with secure secrets. Simply switch require('dotenv').config() for require('@dotenvx/dotenvx').config().

16.6.0 (2025-06-26)

Added

• Default log helpful message [dotenv@16.6.0] injecting env (1) from .env (#870)
• Use { quiet: true } to suppress
• Aligns dotenv more closely with dotenvx.
