The npm blog has been discontinued.
Updates from the npm team are now published on the GitHub Blog and the GitHub Changelog.
Release v7.0.0-rc.3
Sometimes, “releasing at least weekly” means 3 releases in one week. This was one such week :)
The release candidates are getting more stable as we fix more of the bugs that our brave testers are putting them through their paces and giving us feedback.
You can get this update in the standard way, by running this command in your terminal:
npm install -g npm@next-7
