The history of xpm

November 2017

The project was created in November 2017.

However, the idea of a tool to automate dependencies is older, and in 2015 the first experimental implementation used a set of shell scripts.

The initial implementation mixed xpm and npm dependencies and supported only source packages.

April 2018

In April 2018, support for binary packages was added.

August 2022

In August 2022, with the release of version 0.14, the xpm dependencies were separated from npm dependencies and policy 0001 was introduced.
