Coincidentally, that meant that Google ended support before Microsoft did in the case of Vista.Īvast planned to end support for Windows Vista and Windows XP with the release of version 18.7 but it appears that the company had a change of heart. Mozilla, for example, ended support for Windows XP and Vista in June 2018 officially while Google dropped support for XP and Vista in 2016. Companies like Google or Mozilla ended support for their products on these operating systems at a later point in time due to the large number of systems still in use. Microsoft ended support for Windows XP in 2014 and support for Windows Vista in 2017 officially. Avast notes that version 18.8 is the last version that it plans to release for Windows XP or Windows Vista. The new releases fix a critical security vulnerability in the products. Obviously none of them were tagged as latest, so trying to use to get one is pointless.įrom the registry: 'dist-tags': Īgain, use the GitHub releases for the bleeding edge, or use the versions/tags explicitly.The company, which acquired AVG back in 2016 and Piriform, maker of CCleaner in 2017, released Avast Free Antivirus 18.8 and the commercial products Avast Internet Security and Avast Premier. The versions listed as betas were tagged differently. does not pull the most recent version published to npm In the case of this package, that's release 1.0.1. Installing simply looks up the release tagged as latest in the registry. Latest is an implicit tag, attached to any published version of a package that was not published with an explicit tag ( -tag). This is made pretty clear by reading the manual. $ npm install webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin If you want the beta releases, then install from GitHub, or use the tags explicitly.
Typically, projects only use the latest tag for stable release versions, and use other tags for unstable versions such as prereleases.īy default, other than latest, no tag has any special significance to npm itself. Tags can be used to provide an alias instead of version numbers.įor example, a project might choose to have multiple streams of development and use a different tag for each stream, e.g., stable, beta, dev, canary.īy default, the latest tag is used by npm to identify the current version of a package, and npm install (without any or specifier) installs the latest tag. Version 1.0.1 is the 'latest' version of that package - published to the npm registry at least ( tagged as latest)įrom the docs for cli/dist-tag.
