v5.5.0

[juanpicado]

5.5.0 (2022-01-22)

Features

TL;DR

• Upgrade @verdaccio-ui-theme (d36b8b1)
• Use backward compatible UI from v6 on v5 (#2912) (b79266d)
• Update dependencies, include 🔒 security flagged ones.

Web User Interface Improvements

The current user interface for this version is exactly the same used on the next major release, the verdaccio/ui repository has been archived, one single UI is much easier to maintain and also to share features between the future major release and the stable one.

The translations were migrated from the source code to the crowdin platform for the User interface which ensure repeated words are not translated twice and also crowding provides a nice interface for contributions, the latest translations are pulled on every release automcatically.

• Add new options to the web disable login and pkg managers (#2947) (1a7b1ee)

  • Users are able to select which package managers you want to enabled on the web user interface ref feat: allow ui hide package managers on sidebar #2226
  • Users are able to enable/disable login on web and endpoints option ref UI: allow disable login UI #2228 (this is another security layer which some users might be interested to disable)

web:
  pkgManagers:
    - npm
    - yarn
    - pnpm
  login: true      

Improve language switch ui and package manager info

• Remove the language switch as autocomplete, add info how to contribute to translations
• Convert info dialog to be able host more information, learn how to use registry with Yarn 2 and add links to documentation.
