Changelog

What changed from 22 to 23

v23.1.0

Latest
Added 1
  • Add --interactiveSelect option to control which upgrades are pre-selected in interactive mode, with values: auto (default), none, patch, minor, or all
Changed 6
  • Strip terminal escape sequences from package and registry text
  • Select the pnpm global config by the installed major version
  • Read registries from pnpm-workspace.yaml
  • Run getOwnerPerDependency at --concurrency
  • Pass color through to the package manager spawn in doctor command
  • Apply boolean false from the rc config as --no-<option>
Fixed 10
  • Do not let rejectOnError:false swallow spawn errors
  • Warn when peer dependency lookups fail instead of silently disabling --peer
  • Reject invalid values in array options
  • Fix operator precedence in the invalid filter message
  • Replace the github url version tag only in the fragment
  • Fix pnpm global and prefix args being spread into single characters

From npm-check-updates

Added new option: --interactiveSelect

Usage:

ncu -i --interactiveSelect [value]

Default: auto

Control which upgrades are pre-selected in interactive mode. Only applies with --interactive.

Specify auto explicitly to restore the default when another value is set in your config file.

Major version zero upgrades (e.g. 0.1.0 → 0.2.0) are only pre-selected by all, since anything may change before 1.0.0. Custom groups returned by --groupFunction are likewise only pre-selected by all.

How v23.0.1 went

v23.0.0

Added 1
  • Native TypeScript loading support
Changed 5
  • Minimum supported Node.js version is now 22; supported versions are ^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0 (and npm >=10)
  • Default export is now callable directly as ncu()
  • Output is now grouped by default; use --format no-group to get flat output
  • --target semver now respects explicit upper bounds in version ranges
  • npm-registry-fetch is now lazy-loaded for faster startup
Fixed 7
  • Scoped package 404s with encoded @ character
  • --doctor and --errorLevel 2 crash
  • Registry settings ignored by --enginesNode and --ownerChanged
  • YAML catalog preservation
  • Abort packument stream once required fields are parsed for better performance
  • CLI options being overridden by .ncurc in --deep mode
  • Upgrade a package in all selected sections when versions differ
Removed 2
  • CommonJS build dropped; package is now pure ESM only
  • filterVersion and rejectVersion options no longer accept predicate functions; use filter or reject instead

From npm-check-updates

⚠️ Breaking changes & migration

1. Node.js 22+ required (#1844) The minimum supported Node.js is now 22. Supported versions: ^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0 (and npm >=10).

  • Migration: Upgrade Node before installing. On older Node, stay on v22.x.

2. Pure ESM package — CJS build dropped, default export is now callable (#1916, #1894) The package is now pure ESM (no more CommonJS build), and the default export is now callable directly. ncu.run() and ncu.defineConfig() still work as namespaced properties.

  • Migration (ESM): 
    // before
import * as ncu from 'npm-check-updates'
const upgraded = await ncu.run({ /* ... */ })
// after
import ncu from 'npm-check-updates'
const upgraded = await ncu({ /* ... */ }) // ncu.run({...}) also still works
  • Migration (CommonJS): Still usable via Node's native require() of ESM (Node 22+), but the import shape changed: 
    // before
const ncu = require('npm-check-updates')
// after
const { default: ncu } = require('npm-check-updates')
ncu({ /* ... */ }).then(upgraded => console.log(upgraded))

3. filterVersion / rejectVersion no longer accept a predicate function. Use filter / reject instead. (#1933) These options now accept only a string, wildcard, glob, comma/space-delimited list, or /regex/. (CLI usage is unchanged — the CLI never supported functions.)

  • Migration: If you passed a function to filterVersion/rejectVersion in .ncurc.js or via the module API, move it to filter / reject instead. Those receive the package name and the parsed current version, so they can match on both: 
    // before
filterVersion: (name, semver) => !(name.startsWith('@myorg/') && +semver[0].major > 5)
// after
filter:        (name, semver) => !(name.startsWith('@myorg/') && +semver[0].major > 5)

4. Output is now grouped by default (#1937) --format now defaults to ["group"], so upgrades are grouped by major / minor / patch out of the box. This is a better default for most users.

  • Migration: To get the old flat output, use: 
    ncu --format no-group
    The new no- prefix removes a value from the default list instead of replacing the whole list, so --format no-group,time disables grouping while adding publish times.

5. --target semver now respects explicit upper bounds (#1920) An explicit upper bound in a range is now preserved and never exceeded, e.g. ^9.5.0 <10 → ^9.7.0 <10 (previously the bound could be overrun). This can change which versions are selected for ranges with explicit upper bounds.

✨ Other improvements
  • Native TypeScript loading (#1888), lazy-loaded npm-registry-fetch for faster startup (#1898), and reduced dependencies for a lighter install.
  • Numerous bug fixes: scoped-package 404s with encoded @ (#1923), --doctor + --errorLevel 2 crash (#1900), registry settings ignored by --enginesNode/--ownerChanged (#1925), and YAML catalog preservation (#1922), abort packument stream once required fields are parsed (#1901) for better performance, fix cli options being overridden by .ncurc in --deep mode (#1902), and upgrade a package in all selected sections when versions differ.
