2.1 - QoL update

MIP 2.1.0 — Quality of Life Update

Overview

This release focuses on improving the developer experience with new commands, better performance, and enhanced configuration management.

---

New Commands

mip registry — Manage Package Registries

Add, remove, list, and set default registries. Supports npm, GitHub Packages, GitLab Registry, and custom registries like Verdaccio or Artifactory.

mip registry add github https://npm.pkg.github.com/ --token ghp_xxx
mip registry set-default github
mip registry list

mip config — Manage Configuration via CLI

View, set, delete, reset, and edit MIP configuration directly from the command line. No need to open mip.yml manually.

mip config set defaultRegistry github
mip config get version
mip config list

mip server — Web Dashboard

A real-time web dashboard with 6 tabs: Overview, Packages, Store, Registries, Scripts, and System. Auto-refreshes every 3 seconds.

mip server start
mip server stop
mip server status

mip publish — Publish Packages

Publish packages to npm, GitHub Packages, GitLab, or custom registries. Supports authentication, build before publish, and dry runs.

mip publish --registry github
mip publish --build --tag beta
mip publish --dry-run

mip alias — Command Aliases

Create shortcuts for frequently used commands. Aliases are stored globally in ~/.mip/aliases.yml and work across all projects.

mip alias set i install
mip alias set up update
mip alias list

mip feel — Project Vibe

An experimental command that analyzes your project and gives it a "vibe" — productive, lazy, chaotic, zen, or inspired. Shows quotes and tips to keep you motivated.

mip feel

mip bundle — Bundle Project

Bundle your project into a single file using esbuild. Supports minification, sourcemaps, and bundle analysis.

mip bundle index.js -o dist/bundle.js --minify

mip clone — Clone Project Configuration

Create a snapshot of your project configuration and share it with others. Includes dependencies, scripts, workspaces, features, registries, and aliases.

mip clone create        # Create snapshot
mip clone view          # View snapshot
mip clone apply my-app  # Create project from snapshot

mip debug — CLI Debugger

A development tool that shows execution trace, loaded modules, timing information, and command output. Helps developers understand what MIP is doing under the hood.

node debug-mip.js

---

Features System

MIP now has a built-in features system with 57 configurable options. All features have default values and can be enabled or disabled individually.

mip --genconfig          # Generate mip.config.yml with all features
mip --list-features      # Show all available features
mip config set features.install.parallel true
mip config set features.config.enabled false  # Disable ALL features

Key Feature Categories

Category	Examples
Install & Update	parallel, forceReinstall, saveExact, dryRun
Security & Audit	enabled, ignoreDev, ignoreLow, ignoreCritical
Caching	enabled, maxSize, ttl, path
Performance	parallelDownloads, useHardlinks, useMemoryCache
Logging & Debug	level, color, timestamp, showStack
Interactivity	promptOnInstall, promptOnDelete, autoConfirm
Registries	default, fallbackToNpm, strictSSL
Dependency Resolution	resolutionStrategy, dedupeOnInstall, hoist

---

Security Improvements

Token Storage

Tokens are now stored securely in ~/.mip/registry.yml and are not stored in project config files (mip.yml, mip.json).

# ~/.mip/registry.yml — SAFE PLACE FOR TOKENS
github:
  url: https://npm.pkg.github.com/
  token: ghp_xxx

GitHub Token Validation

mip doctor now validates GitHub tokens and warns if they are missing or invalid.

---

Performance Optimizations

MIP 2.1.0 is significantly faster. Here's what we improved:

Startup Time

Before	After	Improvement
~1072ms	~133ms	8x faster

What Was Optimized

Component	Before	After	Savings
api-methods.js	237ms	10ms	227ms
bin/mip.js	495ms	80ms	415ms
registry.js	200ms	30ms	170ms
config.js	15ms	2ms	13ms
loader.js	15ms	1ms	14ms
store.js	60ms	5ms	55ms
peer-resolver.js	50ms	5ms	45ms

Techniques Used

• Lazy loading — modules load only when needed
• Caching — data cached with TTL
• Native HTTP — replaced axios with native https.get
• i18n optimization — load only the needed language
• Update check — cached once per day

---

Internationalization

MIP now supports 10 languages out of the box:

Language	Code
English	en
Russian	ru
Spanish	es
German	de
French	fr
Japanese	ja
Korean	ko
Chinese	zh
Italian	it
Portuguese	pt

Color tags are now supported in translations for better visual feedback.

---

Code Refactoring

What Was Refactored

Before	After
cli.js (monolithic)	Split into modules: colors, helpers, progress, format
bin/mip.js (500+ lines)	Split into mip.js + mip-commands.js
install.js (450 lines)	Structured into logical functions
api-methods.js	Lazy loading with caching
config.js	Added caching support
loader.js	Added manifest caching
store.js	Added path and size caching
registry.js	Replaced axios with native HTTP
peer-resolver.js	Added caching support

---

Breaking Changes

None.

---

Migration Notes

If you have tokens stored in mip.yml, move them to ~/.mip/registry.yml:

# Remove token from mip.yml (edit manually)
# Add token to ~/.mip/registry.yml
mip registry add github https://npm.pkg.github.com/ --token ghp_xxx

MIP 2.0

Priority Building mip yourself when using pkg-ed executables

🚀 Mip 2.0 - Officially Released!

checksums.txt

After months of development, we are proud to announce the official release of Mip 2.0! This is a complete rewrite from the ground up, focusing on speed, simplicity, and extensibility. Forget npm, forget yarn—Mip is here to redefine package management.

---

⚡ What's New in 2.0?

🧠 Core Architecture Rebuild

• Complete rewrite from a simple script to a robust, modular package manager.
• Global cache (~/.mip/store/): All packages are stored once and symlinked into projects. This eliminates the massive duplication of node_modules.
• Zero node_modules/: Say goodbye to the infamous black hole of disk space. Mip uses symlinks to the global cache.

⚡ Performance Unleashed

• Up to 10x faster than npm on re-installs and 2x faster than pnpm.
• Parallel downloads: Mip fetches packages concurrently, making cold installs blisteringly fast.
• Streaming extraction: No temporary files, just pure speed.

🔌 Plugins System

• Mip now has a first-class plugin system. Extend the CLI with custom commands, hooks, and integrations.
• Official plugins are available for Webpack, Vite, and Tailwind CSS—with more to come.

📝 YAML Configs

• mip.json is now mip.yml. YAML is easier to read, supports comments, and is a joy to edit.
• Automatic migration from old mip.json files.

🌍 Custom Languages

• i18n support is now extensible. Create your own language packs!
• Community languages are available as plugins. (We're looking at you, Pirate and Lolcat 🌊🐱).

🔒 Security & Diagnostics

• mip audit now provides detailed vulnerability reports with auto-fix capabilities.
• mip doctor performs a full system check to ensure your environment is optimal.
