This was a very good read. It's also a good reminder to check our own NPM access token pages and maybe delete old lingering tokens.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it.

A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

Minor Changes There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new settin...

The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm could be made 33x faster.

Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo.

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - Semver
During the installation process, package managers run a bunch of semver comparisons. The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm can be made around 33x faster.

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem part 11 is here! This time we're looking at:

Extending Rust tools with JavaScript plugins

Preact Signals just got a huge performance boost:

Signals rendered as text/props & effects only "pull" as fast as needed for rendering. Since computeds run as-needed, they now only re-run as often as their downstream DOM output can be painted.

H/t to @jovidecroock.com for making this happen.
