It would likely be a good idea to divest yourself from this package given the actions of the maintainer. As others have said, this appears to be intentional. There has been a 6.6.6 release to npm published ~8 hours ago as of this post, which has nothing in it.

Any suggestions for alternatives? (apart from pinning an old version)
