v2.15.4 (2016-04-21):

Gosh, it's been a peaceful couple of weeks!

Overall, the CLI team has been focused on the project to get the test suite passing on Windows. Our efforts should be paying off soon -- there's only a couple of tests left!

It's very unlikely those particular changes will make their way into our current npm@2 LTS release, I think, but it will help npm@3 a lot, as well as whatever version makes it into node@6, which will eventually be the next Node.js LTS.

As far as this week goes, we've got a couple of dep updates and doc fixes. Always happy to see community contributions flying in. 💚

DEP UPDATE MAGIC

• b178c4a [email protected]: Minor project-related tweaks -- no license changes. (@shinnn)
• 1adf179 [email protected]: Fixes file:// URLs on Windows. Turns out stuff like file://C:\hello is actually fairly weird for a URL (it's not actually a valid URL, but we're just gonna pretend.😉) (@zkat)
• 9cfd56c [email protected]: This one goes out to our fans at Big Blue: There was an AIX-specific issue where fs.rmDir was failing with EEXIST instead of ENOTEMPTY with non-empty directories. (@richardlau)

HOORAY DOC CONTRIBUTIONS

No seriously, we love these. Keep 'em comin'!

• 2afe8bf #12415 Clarify that the --cert and --key options are actual certs and keys, not paths to files containing them. (@rvedotrc)
• 3522560 #12107 Document npm login as an alias to npm adduser. People are still surprised by this so often. (@gnerkus)
