What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

- **fixed** — Fix concurrent installs sharing a store occasionally failing with an ENOENT error while importing a package file
- **changed** — Speed up writing the lockfile in large workspaces
- **changed** — Speed up dependency resolution in large workspaces
- **fixed** — pnpm now runs through Node.js when it was installed by a tool that skips build scripts, such as Vercel's packageManager provisioning, Bun, Deno, or npm install --ignore-scripts

##### Patch Changes

- Fixed concurrent installs sharing a store occasionally failing with an ENOENT error while importing a package file [#14353](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14353).

- Sped up writing the lockfile in large workspaces [#14352](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14352).

- Sped up dependency resolution in large workspaces [#14352](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14352).

- pnpm now runs through Node.js when it was installed by a tool that skips build scripts, such as Vercel's `packageManager` provisioning, Bun, Deno, or `npm install --ignore-scripts`. Those installs previously failed with `syntax error near unexpected token ')'`. They still cannot run pnpm on Windows. On macOS only a shell can start it [#14346](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14346).
