v18.0.0

Breaking

The only breaking change in v18 is with the -g/--global flag.

npm-check-updates -g will now auto-detect your package manager based on the execution path. Previously, it defaulted to npm.

• yarn dlx ncu -g --packageManager yarn → yarn dlx ncu -g
• pnpm dlx ncu --global --packageManager pnpm → pnpm dlx ncu -g
• bunx ncu -g--packageManager pnpm → bunx ncu -g

If for some reason you were running ncu -g with an alternative package manager and relying on it checking the global npm packages, you will need to now explicitly specify npm:

• ncu -g → ncu -g--packageManager npm

Thanks to @​LuisFerLCC for the improvement (#1514).

v17.0.0

Breaking

• Require node >= 18.18.0
• In workspaces mode, --root is now set by default (#1353)
  • To not check the root package.json, use --no-root.
• If you have a packageManager field in your package.json, it is now upgraded by default (#1390)
  • Use --dep prod,dev,optional for the old behavior.

v17.0.0-1

This is the first prerelease in preparation for the next major v17. It mainly involves a node engines bump and lot of internal dependency upgrades, so if you notice any regressions, please let me know!

Run npx npm-check-updates@v17.0.0-1 to test.

There are a two more breaking/high-risk changes I intend to make for the v17 release, which I will also release as prerelease versions for testing.

Thanks for your help and enjoy! 🍰
