Node 26.2.0 release notes published (aduh95d955896)

Node.js 26.2.0 was cut and documented, pulling in the current changelog entry plus API docs for recent additions like stream.compose, Temporal.Instant stats support, and writeInformation().

Windows release builds move from LTCG to Thin LTO (StefanStojanovic614050b)

The Windows build pipeline now uses Thin LTO for release builds and adds an --lto-jobs option to control parallel link-time codegen. This should reduce peak memory usage during release linking while keeping LTO performance benefits.

WebCrypto WPT coverage updated for ML-KEM and serialization (nodejs-github-botb5659d1)

Node’s embedded Web Platform Tests were bumped to a newer WebCryptoAPI revision, including new ML-KEM JWK import/export coverage and a larger set of CryptoKey serialization tests. That helps keep Node’s WebCrypto behavior aligned with upstream browser-standard tests.
