v8.7.0

Minor Changes

• Improve performance of installation by using a worker pool for extracting packages and writing them to the content-addressable store #6850
• The default value of the resolution-mode setting is changed to highest. This setting was changed to lowest-direct in v8.0.0 and some users were not happy with the change. A twitter poll concluded that most of the users want the old behaviour (resolution-mode set to highest by default). This is a semi-breaking change but should not affect users that commit their lockfile #6463.

Patch Changes

• Warn when linking a package with peerDependencies #615.
• Add support for npm lockfile v3 in pnpm import #6233.
• Override peerDependencies in pnpm.overrides #6759.
• Respect workspace alias syntax in pkg graph #6922
• Emit a clear error message when users attempt to specify an undownloadable node version #6916.
• pnpm patch should write patch files with a trailing newline #6905.
• Dedupe deps with the same alias in direct dependencies 6966
• Don't prefix install output for the dlx command.
• Performance optimizations. Package tarballs are now download directly to memory and built to an ArrayBuffer. Hashing and other operations are avoided until the stream has been fully received #6819.
