Datagrams now skip redundant DNS lookups for literal IPs (
1c12dd6)
dgram no longer calls dns.lookup() for addresses that are already literal IPs of the socket family, which removes avoidable overhead on every send. The change keeps the async callback contract by deferring completion to the next tick, and preserves custom lookup behavior.
Finalization cleanup no longer drops live refs (
75aec8e)
process finalization tracking now uses identity-based SafeSet collections instead of arrays, so add/remove/emptiness checks line up with how refs are tracked. This fixes a cleanup bug where removing a collected ref could splice away later live refs too.
VFS recursive readdir stops following symlink cycles (
ea60060)
The in-memory VFS now tracks the active recursive traversal path and bails out when it encounters a directory symlink cycle. That preserves symlink entries in listings while preventing infinite recursion across sync, promise, and withFileTypes modes.
Broadcast.from() now normalizes byte-like inputs (f2f241a)
stream broadcast now routes non-Broadcastable inputs through from(), so strings and ArrayBuffer views are treated as byte inputs rather than generic iterables. This tightens input handling and aligns validation/tests with the intended behavior.
Reverted a broken Windows path normalization fix (
c4429c8)
Node backed out the reserved-name normalization change because it landed without green Jenkins and was breaking subsequent builds. This restores the prior path behavior until the fix can be reintroduced safely.
