npm init now has a type prompt, and sorts the entries the created packages differently
bun.lockb files are now included in the strict ignore list during packing
When publishing a package with a pre-release version, you must explicitly specify a tag.
--ignore-scripts now applies to all lifecycle scripts, include prepare
npm will no longer fall back to the old audit endpoint if the bulk advisory request fails.
npm will no longer switch to global mode if aliased to "npmg" or "npm-g" etc.
The npm hook command has been removed
Attestations made by this package will no longer validate in npm versions prior to 10.6.0
npm now supports node ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0
