Version 2.0.0

What's Changed

Breaking Changes

• Default version behavior changed. Previously, omitting the version input would install the latest pnpm. Now, the action first looks for a packageManager field in the package.json in the current directory and uses that version if found, falling back to the latest only when the field is absent.

New Features

• version-file input — new input that accepts a path to a file specifying the pnpm version to install. Supports package.json files with a packageManager field. version and version-file are mutually exclusive.
• version output — the action now sets a version output exposing the exact version of pnpm that was installed.
• pnpm v11 support — the action now handles the archive-based release format introduced in pnpm v11 (.tar.gz on Linux/macOS, .zip on Windows), in addition to the standalone binary format used by earlier versions.
• Setup caching — the action skips the download and extraction step when the pnpm home directory for the resolved version is already populated, speeding up repeated runs.
• Expanded runner support — CI now validates the action on Linux arm64 (ubuntu-24.04-arm), Windows arm64 (windows-11-arm), and the latest macOS and Windows runners, in addition to existing x64 coverage.

Bug Fixes

• Windows executable permissions — the action no longer attempts to chmod the pnpm executable on Windows, which previously caused an error.
• Early platform validation — unsupported platforms and architectures are now rejected with a clear error message before any network request is made.

Development Tooling Changes

• Upgraded action runtime from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24.
• Replaced gha-utils with ghakit as the GitHub Actions toolkit dependency.
• Replaced Rollup with tsup as the bundler; all runtime dependencies remain in devDependencies with no separate bundle step needed.
• Switched to pnpm 11 as the development package manager.
• Upgraded Vitest to version 4 and refactored tests to achieve full branch coverage.
• Merged separate build and test CI workflows into a single ci.yaml.
• Lefthook is now used as a standalone binary rather than a pnpm package, removing it from devDependencies.
• Added CLAUDE.md for Claude Code project configuration.
• Bumped Node.js through 23.x → 24.16.0, TypeScript to 6.0, ESLint to 10.x, and many other dependencies.
