TCP socket transfer now works on Windows (
fdcb1de)
Node now allows net.Socket and net.Server handle transfer on Windows instead of rejecting it outright. The implementation updates the TCP wrap transfer path and removes the platform-specific error/docs guard, which broadens worker-thread socket handoff support.
Odd-length hex writes no longer crash (
3e06d53)
A fatal CHECK in StringBytes::StorageSize was removed so odd-length hex strings written through Writev are handled the same way as single-write hex decoding. This fixes a crash path seen with corked streams such as HTTP requests, where the trailing incomplete nibble is now safely dropped.
Crypto now throws a user-facing encoding error (
6af3dda)
Changing outputEncoding mid-stream in Cipher/Decipher calls now throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE instead of hitting an internal assertion. The docs and tests were updated to make the encoding contract explicit and to surface a clearer API-level failure.
GCProfiler reports minor mark-sweep explicitly (0618e9f)
V8 GC profiling now maps kGCTypeMinorMarkSweep to the string MinorMarkSweep. That makes GC profiles more accurate when running with --minor-ms and avoids mislabeling those collections as an unknown type.
