Bun 1.2.19 Adds Isolated Installs for Better Monorepo Suppor...
Blog post from Socket
Bun 1.2.19 introduces a range of enhancements aimed at improving monorepo workflows, including isolated installs with the `--linker=isolated` option, which helps prevent cross-package conflicts and enhances dependency management. This update positions Bun as a strong competitor to pnpm by addressing long-standing issues such as ghost dependencies and improving predictability in package management. Additionally, the release includes the `bun pm pkg` command for streamlined project configuration, enhancements in workspace installs, and the `bun why` command for tracing dependency chains. Performance improvements are substantial, with Bun's PostgreSQL client achieving up to 5x speed gains through query pipelining and a new `--sql-preconnect` flag reducing cold-start latency. Other optimizations include a faster startup time, reduced memory usage, and enhanced bundling features, alongside updates to Node.js API compatibility and TypeScript types. Overall, Bun 1.2.19 is a significant milestone, receiving positive feedback from developers and resolving numerous community-reported issues.
