Bun 1.2.19 introduces isolated installs with the --linker=isolated option to improve monorepo dependency management by preventing cross-package conflicts. The release adds a new bun pm pkg command for programmatic package.json editing, improves workspace installs, and includes a bun why command for dependency tracing. Performance improvements include 5x faster PostgreSQL queries through automatic pipelining, 1ms faster startup times, and 3MB less memory usage. The update resolves 163 issues and positions Bun as a stronger competitor to pnpm for monorepo workflows.
