| 1 | +### v2.14.20 (2016-02-18): |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Hope y'all are having a nice week! As usual, it's a fairly limited release. The |
| 4 | +most notable thing is some dependency updates that might help the Node.js CI |
| 5 | +setup for Windows run a little better, even if we have some work to do on that |
| 6 | +path length things, still. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +#### WHITTLING AWAY AT PATH LENGTHS |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +So for all of you who don't know -- Node.js does, in fact, support long Windows |
| 11 | +paths. Unfortunately, depending on the tool and the Windows version, a lot of |
| 12 | +external tooling does not. This means, for example, that some (all?) versions of |
| 13 | +Windows Explorer *can literally never delete npm from their system entirely |
| 14 | +because of deeply-nested npm dependencies*. Which is pretty gnarly. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Incidentally, if you run into that in particularly, you can use |
| 17 | +[rimraf](npm.im/rimraf) to remove such files 💁. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The latest victim of this issue was the Node.js CI setup for testing on Windows, |
| 20 | +which uses some tooling or another that croaks on the usual path length limit |
| 21 | +for that OS: 255 characters. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +This issue, of course, is largely not a problem as of `npm@3`, with its flat |
| 24 | +trees, but it still occasionally and viciously bites LTS. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +We've taken another baby step towards alleviating this in this release by |
| 27 | +updating a couple of dependencies that were preventing `npmlog` from deduping, |
| 28 | +and then doing a dedupe on that and `gauge`. Hopefully it helps. |
