Previously if grouping, all major/minor updates within that group were combined into one. Instead, we now honour the “separateMajorMinor”, "separateMinorPatch", and "separateMultipleMajor" settings and keep the groups separate if necessary.
For maximum compatibility with existing PRs, we name branches like `renovate/group-name` whenever possible and only name them like `renovate/major-group-name` or `renovate/patch-group-name` if major or patch are found.
Closes#2425
Methods to support performing Git operation using filesystem instead of web API. GitHub only and experimental only. Usage: define env variable `RENOVATE_GIT_FS`.
Closes#1925
Sets Cache-Control to ‘no-cache’ to instruct the http layer to always revalidate cached responses with the registry. Otherwise we can be up to 5 minutes “behind” because npmjs default cache time is 300s.
npm’s —package-lock-only implementation seems to have a bug and produces incorrect lock files when file: references are present. If file: dependencies are detected, skipInstalls is set to false.
Closes#2401
Adds new admin option “skipInstalls” that is applicable for npm-only for now (including lerna-npm). If set to false, Renovate will perform a full install of modules rather than `—package-lock-only`. This is necessary in some cases to work around bugs in npm.
Self-hosted bot users can set this option themselves on the bot’s config, but app users will require it to be enabled per-repository by the app admin.
If the current value is already unstable then we presume the user is happy to take newer unstable versions. However we should not presume that they want to keep jumping versions if so and instead would prefer to stabilise.
Discussed in #2258 but does not close it
Adds field prettyDepType available for templates, currently used for npm only. Allows for PR titles like “Update devDependency left-pad to v1.3.0” instead of default “Update dependency left-pad to v1.3.0”.
To enable in PR titles: add this configuration: `"commitMessageTopic": "{{prettyDepType}} {{depName}}”`
This is not enabled by default as otherwise it could lead to the reopening of previously manually-closed PRs.
Closes#2371, Closes#1863
