About Fast Node Manager

Fast and simple Node.js version manager, built in Rust

What's new in 1.39.0

Performance & UX Improvements:
- Shell startup is now faster: fnm env --use-on-cd applies the initial version during fnm env itself, eliminating an extra fnm use subprocess
- Improved --use-on-cd shell hook robustness (zsh hook deduplication on re-source, Windows CMD fixes for paths with spaces and drive changes)
New Features:
- fnm install --use flag to automatically switch to the version after installing
- fnm default (with no arguments) now returns the current default version
Internal:
- Rust toolchain upgraded to 1.88
Docs/Maintenance:
- Various README improvements, typo fixes, and CI workflow fixes
