@FredrikL ok I can confirm with that particular combination trying to install with a >= version spec is causing issues, not entirely sure why. I’m going to push a 0.11.0 version of cfb and then a 0.8.6 xlsx with the package.json with a version spec like “~0.11”. Stay tuned

@mooyoul Thanks for looking into this further! This is an NPM bug and I can reproduce it, will make an npm issue shortly. The short term problem was resolved and I will refrain from pushing anything remotely resembling a pre-release or post-release in the future.
