Sourced from dotenv's changelog.

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.

16.5.0 (2025-04-07)

Added

• 🎉 Added new sponsor Graphite - the AI developer productivity platform helping teams on GitHub ship higher quality software, faster.

[!TIP] Become a sponsor

The dotenvx README is viewed thousands of times DAILY on GitHub and NPM. Sponsoring dotenv is a great way to get in front of developers and give back to the developer community at the same time.
