@mapbox/node-pre-gyp is a Node.js tool that helps publish and install Node.js C++ addons from pre-built binaries instead of compiling from source. It provides a command line workflow (install, package, publish, unpublish, info, and more) and a JavaScript API to locate the installed binary.
Project status
- The repo shows continued repository activity (last upstream push on 2026-08-11), but the most recent published updates in the provided history are from 2025-12-19 (v2.0.4-pre.0), so overall maintenance looks somewhat sporadic rather than steadily shipping.
- Apparent update cadence from the listed tags: a small cluster of updates in late 2025 (v2.0.2, v2.0.3, v2.0.4-pre.0 within about a few weeks), followed by a long gap through 2026, which suggests a quiet period since those changes.

Recent updates
v2.0.4-pre.0
Release v2.0.4-pre.0 is a pre-release intended to test the release workflow. The diff shows only metadata updates (version and changelog entry), with no application logic changes.
v2.0.3
Release v2.0.3 is primarily a dependency revert, undoing a previous attempt to bump the internal dependency nopt. The diff also updates CI workflows to use a newer GitHub Actions checkout action.
v2.0.2
v2.0.2 extends node-pre-gyp to support publishing binaries to S3 with configurable ACLs, instead of always using a public-read ACL. The implementation also changes install behavior to handle private S3 binaries by attempting an authenticated download when the initial HTTP fetch is forbidden. CI workflow actions and several dependency versions were updated as part of this release.
