4.0.0 (2025-03-28)

📢 Major 4.0 Release ⚠️

Since NodeJS 18 EOL is fast approaching (a month away), it's time for Lerna-Lite to release its next version and bump Node requirement. This new release has a few changes and you'll want to see the list of breaking changes below, but it should be pretty straightforward and probably transparent for most users, here are the main changes:

1. upgrade of all conventional-changelog dependencies to their latest major versions, that shouldn't impact you unless you are using conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits and if you are, then make sure to use v8.0 because older versions will probably fail.
2. Canary Releases had issues for a long time because it was implemented with +{SHA} and NPM at some point started discarding any chars past a + symbol, making these releases pretty much useless, so we switched to using .{SHA} and this should make the Canary Releases more usable
3. requirement for NodeJS got bumped to ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0 and you might wonder, why the big jump? Well, you should ask that question to the NPM team, all their latest packages (i.e. @npmcli/arborist, npm-packlist, ...) got bumped to that Node requirement and I'm just keeping up with them...

New Requirements

• drop support for Node 18 which will be EOL in April, we now require Node ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• deps: update all major npm & other deps (#1008)
• deps: bump minimum Node version to ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0 (#1000)
• version: change default "describe [Git] tag" pattern to v* (#1001)
• watch: upgrade Chokidar to v4.0 major version (#1004)
• deps: remove node-fetch, fixes punycode warning (#998)
• deps: upgrade all conventional-changelog-* to major versions (#997)

Some Project Statistics

Here's a few statistics about Lerna-Lite:

• is 3.5 years old with over 500 stars
• recently reached 1 million download a year and it keeps growing every year (in comparison Lerna is at 62M/year)
• over 800 public projects using it (probably twice as much in private repos)
• biggest project using Lerna-Lite is Jest.

In a quick summary, the main goal of Lerna-Lite as always been centered around maintenance (and the most recent challenge was to upgrade all conventional-changelog major deps and oh boy, was that a hard one!)... and sometime, once in a while, new features are being added into the project as well and the most recent one being the full pnpm catalog: support. For a more detailed list of features that are only available in Lerna-Lite, you can take a look at the main readme page. Also note that I, @ghiscoding, do my best to maintain this project but there are still some areas that are like black boxes to me and/or that I don't quite understand, basically I'm just a regular dev like you and I'm simply doing my best to keep the project rolling and up to date, any help will always be welcome, cheers! 😉

A big Thanks to all my Sponsors and Happy Coding 🐉
