+
+### Notable Changes
+
+* **deps**:
+  * Upgrade npm to 6.2.0. [#21592](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21592)
+    * npm has moved. This release updates various URLs to point to the right
+      places for bugs, support, and PRs.
+    * Fix the regular expression matching in `xcode_emulation` in `node-gyp` to
+      also handle version numbers with multiple-digit major versions which would
+      otherwise break under use of XCode 10.
+    * The npm tree has been *significantly* flattened. Tarball size for the npm
+      package has gone from 8MB to 4.8MB.
+    * Changelogs:
+      [6.2.0-next.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v6.2.0-next.0),
+      [6.2.0-next.1](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v6.2.0-next.1),
+      [6.2.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.2.0).
