## Changes
- improvements in package.json handling:
- preserve formatting of package.json files
- support for package.json5 and package.yaml files ([docs](https://github.com/rlidwka/yapm/blob/master/changes/package-yaml.md), [#3336](https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/3336), [#4482](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482)).
- if package.json or any other json document is malformed, show where the error is ([#3869](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3869)).
- formatting changes:
- logs have much more clean formatting
- added a progress bar showing download progress ([#1257](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4587))
- better search output with github repository links
- multiple registries support
- registry-specific configs + security fixes
- easier switch between different npm registries
- semver support for packages installable from github ([docs](https://github.com/rlidwka/yapm/blob/master/changes/github-semver.md), [#3014](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3014), [#3328](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3328), [#3442](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3442), [#3511](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3511), [#4527](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4527)).
- a bunch of other minor changes ([docs](https://github.com/rlidwka/yapm/blob/master/changes/minor-fixes.md), [#4573](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4573)).
