[greenkeeperio-bot]

🚨🔥⚠️ Action required: Switch to the new Greenkeeper now! 🚨🔥⚠️

With Integrations first-class bot support landed on GitHub and we’ve rewritten Greenkeeper to take full advantage of it. Simpler setup, fewer pull-requests, faster than ever.

Hello lovely humans,

npm just published its new version 4.6.1.

State	Update 🚀
Dependency	npm
New version	4.6.1
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 ✨

You rock!

GitHub Release

v4.6.1 (2017-04-21)

A little release to tide you over while we hammer out the last bits for npm@5.

FEATURES

• d13c9b2f2 init-package-json@1.10.0: The name: prompt is now package name: to make this less ambiguous for new users.

  The default package name is now a valid package name. For example: If your package directory has mixed case, the default package name will be all lower case.

• f08c66323 #16213 Add --allow-same-version option to npm version so that you can use npm version to run your version lifecycles and tag your git repo without actually changing the version number in your package.json. (@lucastheisen)

• f5e8becd0 Timing has been added throughout the install implementation. You can see it by running a command with --loglevel=timing. You can also run commands with --timing which will write an npm-debug.log even on success and add an entry to _timing.json in your cache with the timing information from that run. (@iarna)

BUG FIXES

• 9c860f2ed #16021 Fix a crash in npm doctor when used with a registry that does not support the ping API endpoint. (@watilde)
• 65b9943e9 #16364 Shorten the ELIFECYCLE error message. The shorter error message should make it much easier to discern the actual cause of the error. (@j-f1)
• a87a4a835 npmlog@4.0.2: Fix flashing of the progress bar when your terminal is very narrow. (@iarna)
• 41c10974f write-file-atomic@1.3.2: Wait for fsync to complete before considering our file written to disk. This will improve certain sorts of Windows diagnostic problems.
• 2afa9240c #16336 Don't ham-it-up when expecting JSON. (@bdukes)

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• 566f3eebe #16296 Use a single convention when referring to the <command> you're running. (@desfero)
• ccbb94934 #16267 Fix a missing space in the example package.json. (@famousgarkin)
