I'm sure many of you are curious about our position regarding Bun, the product from Oven, the company behind Bun (we're going in cycles). It's so fast, is there any merits to using Yarn?

Welcome to the release notes for Yarn 3.2! This release is a little smaller than the 3.0 and 3.1, as we've hold off on some changes in preparation for our next major ... but more on that later 😃

As always, keep in mind those are only the highlights, the full changelog is much more comprehensive.

Hey everyone! It's this time of the year where everyone is slowly preparing for the holidays. This year will probably be slightly different, but I can't wait to at least take a well deserved time off. But before that, let's talk about our next minor Yarn release, and a little bit about the next-next release: Yarn 3!

Howdy! Another big month just went by, 2020 confirming being a very weird year for everyone. I hope things will be ok for you, wherever you are.

As for Yarn itself, we're happy to meet you again to talk a bit about the highlights for the work we've done in the third minor of the Yarn 2 release line! Remember that we try to limit these blog posts to about three core items, and that the exhaustive list will always be in our repository. Check it out sometime, there's some very good stuff there too! 📝

How are you doing since January? So many things happened since then. I hope you're all safe, wherever you are.

As for today, we'll be here to talk about Yarn. And as far as Yarn goes I'm happy to report that our work continued at a very good pace! So good in fact that it's now time to release the next minor build, the 2.1 🎉

Still, don't let this little number trick you: more than 350 pull requests were merged since the previous release! This is an incredible pace for our project, only made possible by the dedicated community that gathered around our favorite tool 🌟

So what's in the 2.1? Many, many things! We'll go over the main items, but a more detailed list can be found in our repository. You should check it out too, there's a lot of interesting tidbits!
