Release Notes - Node Version Admin (NVA) Version 1.2.0

We're excited to announce the release of NVA version 1.2.0. This update introduces new features, important bug fixes, and a significant name change to enhance the functionality and branding of our tool.

Important Announcement: Name Change

• Changed: Our project has been renamed from "Node Version Manager Light (NVML)" to "Node Version Admin (NVA)".
• Impact: Users should be aware that all references, documentation, and commands now use the new name "NVA" instead of "NVML".

New Features

1. Install Script

   • Added: A new install script for easy deployment of NVA.
   • Impact: Simplifies the process of setting up NVA on new systems, ensuring a consistent installation experience.

2. Uninstall Script

   • Added: A dedicated uninstall script for clean removal of NVA.
   • Impact: Provides a straightforward method to completely remove NVA from the system when no longer needed, preventing leftover files or configurations.

Bug Fixes

1. Bash Completion Path Correction

   • Fixed: The bash completion script is now correctly saved to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ instead of /etc/bash_completion.d/.
   • Impact: Ensures proper integration with the system-wide bash completion mechanism, providing a more consistent and reliable command-line experience.

2. Improved Version Setting Behavior

   • Fixed: When using the -i / --install option together with -s / --set, NVA will now automatically recommend setting the newly installed version.
   • Impact: Streamlines the process of installing and setting a new Node.js version, reducing the need for multiple commands and potential user error.

Installation

To install NVA 1.2.0, use one of the following commands:

curl -so- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Watchdog0x/nva/main/install.sh | sudo bash

or

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Watchdog0x/nva/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Uninstallation

To remove NVA from your system, use one of the following commands:

curl -so- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Watchdog0x/nva/main/uninstall.sh | sudo bash

or

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Watchdog0x/nva/main/uninstall.sh | sudo bash

or if already installed:

sudo bash /opt/nva/uninstall.sh

Note to Existing Users

If you're upgrading from a previous version (NVML), please ensure you uninstall the old version before installing NVA. Your Node.js versions and configurations should remain intact, but it's always a good practice to backup your important data before performing any system-wide changes.
