pnpm config list and pnpm config get (without argument) now show top-level keys as camelCase. Exception: Keys that start with @ or // would be preserved (their cases don't change).

The standalone exe version of pnpm requires at least glibc 2.27.

pnpm config list now prints a JSON object instead of INI formatted text.

pnpm config get and pnpm config list no longer load non camelCase options from the workspace manifest (pnpm-workspace.yaml).

JSON files in the store and cache are replaced with binary files generated with v8.serialize.

Reading and deserializing a binary file generated with v8.serialize appears to be about 23% faster than reading and parsing a JSON file. Other operations are similar in speed. Therefore, we have switched to V8 binary files for storing data in pnpm’s global store and cache. The disadvantage of this approach is that V8 files generated by newer versions of Node.js cannot be deserialized by older versions. In such cases, we ignore the cache.

Runtime dependencies are always linked from the global virtual store #10233.

Support lowercase options in pnpm add: -d, -p, -o, -e #9197.

When using pnpm add command only:

• -p is now an alias for --save-prod instead of --parseable
• -d is now an alias for --save-dev instead of --loglevel=info
