### REFACTORING OUT npm-REGISTRY-CLIENT

Today is an auspicious day! This release marks the end of a massive internal
refactor to npm that means we finally got rid of the legacy
[`npm-registry-client`](https://npm.im/npm-registry-client) in favor of the
shiny, new, `window.fetch`-like
[`npm-registry-fetch`](https://npm.im/npm-registry-fetch).

Now, the installer had already done most of this work with the release of
`npm@5`, but it turns out _every other command_ still used the legacy client.
This release updates all of those commands to use the new client, and while
we're at it, adds a few extra goodies:

* All OTP-requiring commands will now **prompt**. `--otp` is no longer required for `dist-tag`, `access`, et al.
* We're starting to integrate a new config system which will eventually get extracted into a standalone package.
* We now use [`libnpm`](https://npm.im/libnpm) for the API functionality of a lot of our commands! That means you can install a library if you want to write your own tooling around them.
* There's now an `npm org` command for managing users in your org.
* [`pacote`](https://npm.im/pacote) now consumes npm-style configurations, instead of its own naming for various config vars. This will make it easier to load npm configs using `libnpm.config` and hand them directly to `pacote`.

There's too many commits to list all of them here, so check out the PR if you're
curious about details:

### DEPENDENCY UPDATES

A very special dependency update event! Since the [release of
`node-gyp@3.8.0`](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/1521), an awkward
version conflict that was preventing `request` from begin flattened was
resolved. This means two things:

1. We've cut down the npm tarball size by another 200kb, to 4.6MB
2. `npm audit` now shows no vulnerabilities for npm itself!

Thanks, [@rvagg](https://github.com/rvagg)!

## v6.2.0 (2018-07-13):

In case you missed it, [we
moved!](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/175587538995/announcing-npmcommunity). We
look forward to seeing future PRs landing in
[npm/cli](https://github.com/npm/cli) in the future, and we'll be chatting with
you all in [npm.community](https://npm.community). Go check it out!

This final release of `npm@6.2.0` includes a couple of features that weren't
quite ready on time but that we'd still like to include. Enjoy!

### FEATURES

* [`244b18380`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/244b18380ee55950b13c293722771130dbad70de)

  `request@2.81.0`: Downgraded to allow better deduplication. This does
  introduce a bunch of `hoek`-related audit reports, but they don't affect npm
  itself so we consider it safe. We'll upgrade `request` again once `node-gyp`
  unpins it.

### DEPENDENCY SHUFFLE!

We did some reshuffling and moving around of npm's own dependencies. This
significantly reduces the total bundle size of the npm pack, from 8MB to 4.8MB
for the distributed tarball! We also moved around what we actually commit to the
repo as far as devDeps go.

  When requesting the update of a direct dependency that was also a
  transitive dependency to a version incompatible with the transitive
  requirement and you had a lock-file but did not have a `node_modules`

  dependency, resulting in an invalid lock-file that could not self heal.

## v6.1.0-next.0 (2018-05-17):

Look at that! A feature bump! `npm@6` was super-exciting not just because it
used a bigger number than ever before, but also because it included a super
shiny new command: `npm audit`. Well, we've kept working on it since then and
have some really nice improvements for it. You can expect more of them, and the
occasional fix, in the next few releases as more users start playing with it and
we get more feedback about what y'all would like to see from something like
this.

I, for one, have started running it (and the new subcommand...) in all my
projects, and it's one of those things that I don't know how I ever functioned
-without- it! This will make a world of difference to so many people as far as
making the npm ecosystem a higher-quality, safer commons for all of us.

This is also a good time to remind y'all that we have a new [RFCs
repository](https://github.com/npm/rfcs), along with a new process for them.
This repo is open to anyone's RFCs, and has already received some great ideas
about where we can take the CLI (and, to a certain extent, the registry). It's a
great place to get feedback, and completely replaces feature requests in the
main repo, so we won't be accepting feature requests there at all anymore. Check
it out if you have something you'd like to suggest, or if you want to keep track
of what the future might look like!

### NEW FEATURE: `npm audit fix`

This is the biggie with this release! `npm audit fix` does exactly what it says
on the tin. It takes all the actionable reports from your `npm audit` and runs
the installs automatically for you, so you don't have to try to do all that
mechanical work yourself!

Note that by default, `npm audit fix` will stick to semver-compatible changes,
so you should be able to safely run it on most projects and carry on with your
day without having to track down what breaking changes were included. If you
want your (toplevel) dependencies to accept semver-major bumps as well, you can
use `npm audit fix --force` and it'll toss those in, as well. Since it's running
the npm installer under the hood, it also supports `--production` and
`--only=dev` flags, as well as things like `--dry-run`, `--json`, and
`--package-lock-only`, if you want more control over what it does.

Give it a whirl and tell us what you think! See `npm help audit` for full docs!

* [`3800a660d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3800a660d99ca45c0175061dbe087520db2f54b7)
  Add `npm audit fix` subcommand to automatically fix detected vulnerabilities.

* [`957cbe275`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/957cbe27542d30c33e58e7e6f2f04eeb64baf5cd)
  `npm-audit-report@1.2.1`:
  Overhaul audit install and detail output format. The new format is terser and
  fits more closely into the visual style of the CLI, while still providing you
  with the important bits of information you need. They also include a bit more
  detail on the footer about what actions you can take!
  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))

### NEW FEATURE: GIT DEPS AND `npm init <pkg>`!

Another exciting change that came with `npm@6` was the new `npm init` command
that allows for community-authored generators. That means you can, for example,
do `npm init react-app` and it'll one-off download, install, and run
[`create-react-app`](https://npm.im/create-react-app) for you, without requiring
or keeping around any global installs. That is, it basically just calls out to
[`npx`](https://npm.im/npx).

The first version of this command only really supported registry dependencies,
but now, [@jdalton](https://github.com/jdalton) went ahead and extended this
feature so you can use hosted git dependencies, and their shorthands.

So go ahead and do `npm init facebook/create-react-app` and it'll grab the
package from the github repo now! Or you can use it with a private github
repository to maintain your organizational scaffolding tools or whatnot. ✨
