DNS reverse lookups now ignore hosts files (
54a5095)
dns.reverse() is now forced to use DNS/PTR lookups only, matching the documented behavior of other dns.resolve*() APIs and avoiding /etc/hosts bleed-through via c-ares lookup order. This closes a surprising inconsistency for reverse lookups and adds a focused regression test.
REPL gains basic syntax highlighting (
4a5eb1c)
Node’s REPL now colorizes user input with a new tokenizer-based highlighter, wired through readline’s refresh path so multiline prompts and cursor movement stay visually correct. This is a user-facing polish change that makes interactive REPL use noticeably nicer without changing REPL semantics.
Buffer copyArrayBuffer gets a bounds check fix (
eb7ee32)
process.binding('buffer').copyArrayBuffer() now asserts offsets are within the buffer before subtracting, preventing unsigned wraparound from turning an out-of-bounds offset into a huge length. The fix addresses a real memory-safety bug in an internal binding.
sqlite sessions now keep their database alive (
d4d35c6)
DatabaseSync.createSession() now holds a strong reference to the database so a session can’t outlive freed database memory. That prevents a crash when the database handle is dropped first, and the new test covers the GC/lifetime behavior.
Module hooks support Symbol.dispose (
2c4ea73)
registerHooks() return values now implement Symbol.dispose as an alias for deregister(), which means they work with the using keyword and explicit resource management. This is a small but useful public API addition for cleaner hook lifecycle handling.
Web Streams adapters stop throwing after teardown (4314d13)
The writable-side adapter now guards calls to controller.error() after the controller may already be gone, fixing an uncatchable error when closing half-open Duplex.toWeb() writables. This makes stream teardown behavior more robust in edge cases.
Loader package-map lookup normalizes paths first (
c8da4ec)
Package-map path resolution now normalizes incoming paths before cache lookup, which fixes resolution when createRequire() paths use mixed separators. This is a correctness fix for package-map users, especially on cross-platform path inputs.
