Add alpha and beta release channels, plus prerelease upgrade flow (
c7d55f5)
Deno now recognizes alpha and beta alongside rc/canary, including serialization, version detection from prerelease tags, and deno upgrade alpha|beta support. It also updates release workflows and scripts so prerelease builds can be tagged and published without extra env/config changes.
Improve Node.js sign/verify compatibility (f79eedc)
Verification now accepts private keys in more cases by deriving a public key from PKCS#8/SEC1 private keys when needed, and it adds support for DSA private-key PEM parsing. RSA-PSS salt-length handling is also expanded to match Node.js constants, reducing interop failures in crypto-heavy code.
Add ChaCha20-Poly1305 support to node:crypto (a2c128a)
createCipheriv/createDecipheriv now support the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD cipher, including streaming update()/final(), AAD, and auth-tag handling. This closes a major gap in Node crypto compatibility for apps that rely on RFC 8439 encryption.
Speed up file-watcher graceful shutdown (094f8bf)
The watch loop’s SIGTERM grace period drops from 5 seconds to 500ms, which should make reloads much snappier during development. It still leaves a short window for cleanup, but avoids long pauses when handlers are present.
Other misc changes
- CI/release plumbing cleanup, including removal of legacy gcloud upload paths and S3 upload script changes
- Version bump to 2.7.10
- Cache key/version refreshes and related workflow churn
