4. 3.0.0

   11 August 2026
   Renamed the changeset tag command to changeset git-tag.

   Major Changes

   • Renamed the changeset tag command to changeset git-tag.

   • Set supported package manager versions in "engines" field, including npm >=10.9.0, pnpm >=10.0.0, and yarn >=4.5.2.

   • changeset version now exits with code 1 when there are no unreleased changesets, instead of silently exiting with code 0.

     This makes it easier to detect when a version step is a no-op — for example, to prevent accidentally publishing packages with incorrect version tags when using --snapshot mode.

   • Bumped supported Node versions to ^22.11 || ^24 || >=26

   • The prettier option in .changeset/config.json has been removed in favor of format. format supports "auto", "prettier", "oxfmt", "deno", and "dprint", and false disables formatting. If you previously used prettier: false, migrate to format: false or remove the option to use automatic formatter detection.

   • Move versioned prerelease changesets to .changeset/pre/ folder instead of accumulating in the root and tracking the versioned changeset ids in the .changeset/pre.json file. Existing pre.json will auto-migrate to this new structure on the next run of changeset version or when calling changeset status.

     This change allows easier management of versioned prerelease changesets (for the final stable release) and current queued changesets (for the next prerelease). Changesets in .changeset/pre/ can be edited or deleted depending if it's still relevant for the final stable release of a package. There's no need to synchronize the changeset ids in pre.json if certain changesets are deleted.

   • Removed Yarn Classic support

   • Packages with only prerelease versions published will now be published with the prerelease tag in the prerelease mode if the target registry doesn't auto-assign latest tag. npm registry itself does that and such packages will continue to be released with latest tag (and not with the configured prerelease tag).

   • Removed warning messages about using v1 configs. They will now be silently ignored.

   • Update @manypkg/get-packages which drops support for detecting packages in Bolt monorepos and adds support for npm monorepos

   • Remove support for the --sinceMaster flag for changeset status. Use --since=master or --since=main instead.

   • Remove the pre.json initialVersions property and handling as it's unused internally

   • CommitFunctions can now be both sync and async, and the defaultCommitFunctions are now sync.

   • From now on this package is going to be published as ES module.

   • Remove support for the deprecated ___experimentalUnsafeOptions_WILL_CHANGE_IN_PATCH.useCalculatedVersionForSnapshots config. The snapshot.useCalculatedVersion config should be used instead.

   • Private packages are no longer versioned by default. Set privatePackages to true to opt into versioning and tagging them, or set privatePackages.version to true to version them without tagging.

   • Migrated from enquirer + @inquirer/launch-editor to @clack/prompts + launch-editor.

     This means the CLI flows will have minor changes, but they are largely the same.

     This change also fixes various issues related to enquirer like cancelling prompts crashing the CLI.

   • Peer dependencies now bump packages that depend on them by patch instead of major.

     This means a peer dependency update is no longer assumed (forced) to be a breaking change.

     If the dependent package is not compatible with the peer's new release you should manually add a major changeset describing why and how to migrate.

   Minor Changes

   • Added new --major, --minor, --patch flags to the add command.

   • Allow comma-separated values in array-valued CLI flags: the --major, --minor, and `--pat
