State	Update :rocket:
Dependency	npm
New version	4.0.5
Type	dependency

This version is not covered by your current version range.

Without accepting this pull request your project will work just like it did before. There might be a bunch of new features, fixes and perf improvements that the maintainers worked on for you though.

I recommend you look into these changes and try to get onto the latest version of npm. Given that you have a decent test suite, a passing build is a strong indicator that you can take advantage of these changes by merging the proposed change into your project. Otherwise this branch is a great starting point for you to work on the update.

Do you have any ideas how I could improve these pull requests? Did I report anything you think isn’t right? Are you unsure about how things are supposed to work?

There is a collection of frequently asked questions and while I’m just a bot, there is a group of people who are happy to teach me new things. Let them know.

Good luck with your project :sparkles:

You rock!

GitHub Release

It's that time of year! December is upon us, which means y'all are just going to be doing a lot less, in general, for the next month or so. The "Xmas Chasm", as we like to call it, has already begun. So for those of you reading it from the other side: Hi! Welcome back!

This week's release is a relatively small one, involving just a few bugfixes and dependency upgrades. The CLI team has been busy recently with scoping out npm@5, and starting to do initial spec work for in-scope stuff.

BUGFIXES

On to the actual changes!

9776d8f #15081 bundledDependencies are intended to be left untouched by the installer, as much as possible -- if they're bundled, we assume that you want to be particular about the contents of your bundle. The installer used to have a corner case where existing dependencies that had bundledDependencies would get clobbered by as the installer moved stuff around, even though the installer already avoided moving deps that were themselves bundled. This is now fixed, along with the connected crasher, and your bundledDeps should be left even more intact than before! (@iarna)
fc61c08 #15082 Initialize nodes from bundled dependencies. This should address #14427 and related issues, but it's turned out to be a tremendously difficult issue to reproduce in a test. We decided to include it even pending tests, because we found the root cause of the errors. (@iarna)
d8471a2 #12811 Consider devDependencies when deciding whether to hoist a package. This should resolve a variety of missing dependency issues some folks were seeing when devDependencies happened to also be dependencies of your dependencies. This often manifested as modules going missing, or only being installed, after npm install was called twice. (@schmod)

DEPENDENCY UPDATES

5978703 graceful-fs@4.1.11: EPERM errors are Windows are now handled more gracefully. Windows users that tended to see these errors due to, say, an antivirus-induced race condition, should see them much more rarely, if at all. (@isaacs)
85b0174 request@2.79.0 (@simov)
9664d36 tap@8.0.1 (@isaacs)

MISCELLANEOUS

f0f7b0f #15083 Removed dead code. (@iarna)
bc32afe c8a22fe db2666d #15085 Change some network tests so they can run offline. (@iarna)
744a39b #15085 Make Node.js tests compatible with Windows. (@iarna)

The new version differs by 442 commits .
