Experimental node:stream/iter lands (
ae7c6a7)
Node now ships an experimental node:stream/iter module, plus FileHandle.pull()/pullSync() integration and matching zlib/iter APIs. This opens a new async-iterable, transform-friendly pipeline for file I/O and stream processing, with docs, implementation, benchmarks, and broad test coverage.
AsyncLocalStorage gets withScope() for using (
5b6091c)
AsyncLocalStorage now supports disposable scopes via withScope(store), letting code use JavaScript explicit resource management instead of closure-based run() wrappers. That makes synchronous context setup/teardown cleaner, while the new docs spell out the async caveats and the added RunScope helper type.
Async crypto job failures now surface OpenSSL details (
74509b1)
Crypto derivation paths were refactored to thread an error store through async job code, so failures can carry specific OpenSSL-backed error information instead of returning generic errors. This improves diagnosability across multiple primitives, including DH, ECDH, hash/KDF, random, signature, and KEM flows.
QUIC session keys no longer accept CryptoKey (cf2b05c)
The QUIC keys option was narrowed from KeyObject|CryptoKey to KeyObject only, removing CryptoKey handling from the internal option parser and updating the public docs accordingly. This is a public API restriction, so code passing WebCrypto keys will need to migrate.
V8 wasm big-endian SIMD constant fix (
cc96741)
A V8 cherry-pick fixes S128Const handling so wasm globals use native byte order on big-endian platforms instead of assuming little-endian layout. That addresses upstream failures on big-endian Node builds.
Other misc changes
- npm upgraded to 11.12.1.
- V8 cherry-pick: optimize UTF-16
utf8length. - ESM worker loader comment typo fix.
- Benchmarks added for experimental stream/iter paths.
- npm docs updates for audit signatures, publish, trust, and config behavior.
