Node.js 26.0.0 is now the current line (
9e633f9)
The release metadata and changelogs were updated to add Node.js 26 as the current series, and the release notes were rolled up for 26.0.0. This is the main repo-level milestone of the day and sets the new major release track in place.
Undici 8.2.0 is bundled into Node.js (
ee37fce)
Node’s vendored Undici dependency was updated to 8.2.0, bringing a large set of internal HTTP client changes plus expanded security guidance in the vendored package. This matters because Undici underpins core fetch/HTTP behavior, so dependency bumps here can affect runtime networking semantics.
test runner no longer fails todo suites on hook errors (
480ee08)
A failing before hook inside a suite marked todo will now keep the overall test run green, matching the existing advisory semantics of todo tests. The commit includes a regression test showing the suite should exit 0 even when the hook throws.
Synchronous stream piping now always uses writeSync in the sync path (
6df4f7b)
pipeToSync() no longer checks for writer.writeSync before calling it in the batched write path; it now assumes the sync API and invokes writeSync() directly. This tightens the synchronous code path and removes a redundant branch in stream iteration internals.
Node’s major version was bumped to 27 (18f938d)
NODE_MAJOR_VERSION in src/node_version.h was incremented from 26 to 27, preparing the codebase for the next major development line. This is a versioning change with repo-wide signaling impact, though not a user-facing feature by itself.
