 [https://github.blog/2021-02-02-npm-7-is-now-generally-available/ Version
 7 of NPM was released on February 2, 2021].

 This version includes significant performance improvements, and several
 new features.

 One main feature included in NPM 7 is a new `v2` format for `package-
 lock.json` files. Running `npm install` using NPM 7 will result in the
 lock file being upgraded to the `v2` format. Since the `v2` format is
 backwards compatible, the lock file should be updated to use this new
 format.
