npm weekly #227: Introducing npm Pro & npm Teams! Plus npm@6.13.4 and more.
Meet npm Pro & npm Teams!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve updated our product line to include npm Pro, our affordable tool designed for independent JavaScript developers, and well-suited for consultant work, personal projects, and side hustles. Updating our product line to include npm Pro makes it easier for people who need this functionality to find and utilize it, and also enables us to provide better, differentiated features specifically for Pro users going forward.
We’re also announcing npm Teams, the new name for the product formerly known as npm Orgs (the feature set remains the same, but stay tuned for new features in the new year!).
And finally, we’re seizing this opportunity to talk a bit about our product landscape, and where that’s headed next. Learn more here!

We had a couple of new releases this week! Make sure to get the most recent release, which updated some deps and fixed a few very annoying bugs. Read the release notes on 6.13.3 here and 6.13.4 here.
