Deno gets a new list command for declared deps (
755552e)
deno list now inspects dependencies declared in deno.json / package.json, rather than walking an entrypoint’s module graph like deno info. It supports tree depth, prod/dev filtering, recursive workspace listing, and name filters, giving users a package-oriented dependency view similar to npm ls.
Selective test runs arrive with --changed and --related (
be1723a)
deno test can now run only tests affected by git changes or by a set of source files, bringing Vitest-style dependency-aware selection to one-shot test runs. That’s a meaningful workflow improvement for larger repos, especially when iterating on a small slice of code.
Wasm ESM exports now unwrap globals correctly (f3acb84)
Importing .wasm modules now returns the underlying value for global exports instead of exposing raw WebAssembly.Global wrappers. This fixes a spec mismatch and aligns Deno with Node’s behavior for Wasm ESM integration, including cases with v128 globals.
node:test nested top-level tests are routed as subtests (a6f2917)
Top-level test()/it() calls made inside another node:test body now attach to the running test instead of throwing a nested-test error. The polyfill also drains those routed subtests before the parent settles, which should improve compatibility with real-world suites like fastify.
deno pack now includes published assets (
893d85b)
Pack now collects non-module files matched by publish.include and ships them in the tarball, so static assets like SVGs no longer get dropped. That closes a packaging gap between deno pack and deno publish.
module.registerHooks() gets full import-attribute context (77f9001)
Node ESM hooks now receive the full with { ... } import attributes during resolve/load, instead of only the type attribute. The load path also preserves hook-supplied module formats and falls back to import attributes when needed, improving compatibility for custom loaders.
Desktop app bundles can now be compressed (
27a90a3)
deno desktop --compress [xz|zstd] adds self-extracting app bundles that ship the runtime/UI payload compressed and unpack on first launch. This can dramatically shrink distribution size, with a tradeoff of one-time startup decompression.
Wayland support lands for desktop webview/CEF backends (faa2dd2)
The desktop runtime now picks up a laufey bump that adds native Wayland support for both the webview and CEF backends on Linux. That removes the old X11/XWayland limitation for those backends.
JSDoc event tags are now documented in deno doc (
0e13f2c)
deno doc and deno doc --json now understand @event, @fires / @emits, and @listens tags. That improves API documentation for event-driven classes, especially EventTarget-style code.
Other misc changes
- Desktop packaging dependency bump for
laufey. - JSDoc event-tag test coverage added.
- Various parser, flag wiring, and fixture updates for the new CLI features.
- Minor internal test/output updates across the touched subsystems.
