### v1.3.20 (2013-12-17):

* Fixes a critical bug in v1.3.19.  Thankfully, due to that bug, no one could
  install npm v1.3.19 :)

### v1.3.19 (2013-12-16):

* Adds atomic PUTs for publishing packages, which should result in far fewer
  requests and less room for replication errors on the server-side.

### v1.3.18 (2013-12-16):

* Added an `--ignore-scripts` option, which will prevent `package.json` scripts
  from being run. Most notably, this will work on `npm install`, so e.g. `npm
  install --ignore-scripts` will not run preinstall and prepublish scripts.

  [`644c2ff`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/644c2ff3e3d9c93764f7045762477f48864d64a7),
  which avoided re-downloading URL and shinkwrap dependencies when doing `npm
  install`. You can see the in-depth reasoning in
  [`d8c907e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d8c907edc2019b75cff0f53467e34e0ffd7e5fba);
  the problem was, that the patch changed the behavior of `npm install -f` to
  reinstall all dependencies.
* A new version of the no-re-downloading fix has been submitted as
  [#4303](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4303) and will hopefully be
  included in the next release.

  bug

* Added the `--depth` option to `npm outdated`, so that e.g. you can do `npm
  outdated --depth=0` to show only top-level outdated dependencies.

* Added a `--no-git-tag-version` option to `npm version`, for doing the usual
  job of `npm version` minus the Git tagging. This could be useful if you need
  to increase the version in other related files before actually adding the
  tag.

* Made `npm repo` and `npm docs` work without any arguments, adding them to the
  list of npm commands that work on the package in the current directory when
  invoked without arguments.

  [@wilmoore](https://github.com/wilmoore)). There are a few other commands we
  still want to implement this for; see
  [#4204](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4204).
* Pass through the `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable to Git, if it is
  set; we currently do this with a few other environment variables, but we
  missed that one.

* Fixed `npm dedupe` on Windows due to incorrect path separators being used

* Fixed the `npm help` command when multiple words were searched for; it
  previously gave a `ReferenceError`.

* Stopped re-downloading URL and shrinkwrap dependencies, as demonstrated in
  [#3463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3463)
  ([`644c2ff`](https://github.com/isaacs/npm/commit/644c2ff3e3d9c93764f7045762477f48864d64a7),

  force re-download and installation of all dependencies.
