pnpm 11 RC has been released, featuring significant changes in performance, security, and configuration. Key updates include an SQLite-backed store index, tighter security defaults, and a consolidated build script setting. It now requires Node.js v22 or later. Global installs are isolated by default, and new commands enhance usability. Migration guidance is available in the documentation.
