Release v7.3.0

🎉 Happy Release/Recap Friday! We’ve shipped three releases this week, addressing more feedback/bugs & improvements.

Notable changes include:

npm config now supports getting & setting multiple values at once (ex. npm config get foo bar baz & npm config set [email protected] _auth=xxxx)
npm rebuild now accepts paths as an argument (ex. npm rebuild ./node_modules/foo/)

Note: Our team will be taking a break over the holidays these next few weeks but will be back in action the week of January 4th 2021.

As usual, you can get the newest npm v7 by running:

npm install -g npm@7

& you can get the latest npm v6 by running:

npm install -g npm@latest
