Patch Changes Globally-installed bins no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND when pnpm was installed via the standalone @pnpm/exe binary (e.g. curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -) on a system without a separat…
Patch Changes When a project's packageManager field selects pnpm v11 or newer, commands that v10 would have passed through to npm (version, login, logout, publish, unpublish, deprecate, dist-tag, docs, ping, search, star, stars, unstar, wh…
