verdaccio v1.0.0-alpha Release Notes

Release Date: 2014-11-25 // over 9 years ago
    • Config file is now created in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of current directory.

    It is printed to stdout each time sinopia starts, so you hopefully won't have any trouble locating it.

    The change is made so sinopia will pick up the same config no matter which directory it is started from.

    • 0️⃣ Default config file is now a lot shorter, and it is very permissive by default. You could use sinopia without modifying it on your own computer, but definitely should change it on production.

    • ➕ Added auth tokens. For now, auth token is just a username+password encrypted for security reasons, so it isn't much different from basic auth, but allows to avoid "always-auth" npm setting.

    • ➕ Added scoped packages.

    Please note that default * mask won't apply to them. You have to use masks like @scope/* to match scoped packages, or ** to match everything.

    • 0️⃣ Enabled web interface by default. Wow, it looks almost ready now!

    • All dependencies are bundled now, so uncompatible changes in 3rd party stuff in the future won't ruin the day.
