SQL adds PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY (
2f5c180)
Bun's SQL client now supports sql.listen() and sql.notify() for PostgreSQL, with shared dedicated listen connections, reconnect/resubscribe behavior, async-disposable subscriptions, and transaction-aware notifications. That opens up a lightweight pub/sub path for cache invalidation and event fan-out.
TOML now round-trips date/time values through Temporal (056491f)
Bun.TOML.parse() now maps TOML date/time forms onto Temporal.Instant, Temporal.PlainDateTime, Temporal.PlainDate, and Temporal.PlainTime, and stringify() emits the matching TOML literals back. This is a public API change that makes TOML parsing lossless for date/time values and aligns Bun with Temporal-enabled JavaScript.
Worker teardown and termination handling were hardened (
7be23fd)
This refactor changes how Bun tracks cross-thread work during VM shutdown, replacing a weaker parent-pointer/ticket path with explicit teardown-aware gating. It matters because it fixes subtle lifetime and release-mode unsoundness around worker shutdown and concurrent completions.
node:http keeps server wrappers alive while connections outlive close() (43afad2)
Fixes a GC lifetime bug where a connection could still finish or error after server.close() but its JS wrapper might already be collected, dropping clientError/request events or invoking dead callbacks. That restores reliable late-dispatch behavior during shutdown.
HTMLRewriter no longer over-reads streamed inputs (ada2a67)
HTMLRewriter.transform() now paces file, fetch, and readable-stream inputs by downstream demand instead of reading ahead. This fixes correctness/perf behavior for streamed bodies and prevents eager full-file consumption.
ThreadPool waits for the scheduled batch, not the whole pool (3261773)
Batch waits in the thread pool and bundler linker now track only the work that was actually scheduled. That removes accidental coupling to unrelated pool activity and can materially reduce Bun.build latency under contention.
bun test stops firing process exit listeners globally (
baf62f9)
bun test now only runs process.on('exit') listeners when Node test APIs were involved, undoing the broader user-visible behavior change. This brings Bun's test runner back in line with expected test-file semantics.
Worker termination and immediate-exit paths were fixed (eabb96d, 7ba276f, 97a4363)
Multiple fixes landed for workers that stop themselves via process.exit() or terminate() while native work is still in flight, including prompt loop wakeups and correct teardown ordering. These changes close timing windows that previously caused delayed exits, dropped events, or UAF-style lifetime bugs.
N-API ungated calls now handle termination correctly (54f0271)
Addons calling ungated N-API functions no longer lose termination requests or spin forever when timeout/worker.terminate() arrives mid-call. The change also tightens the preamble around external string creation to avoid running finalizers under the wrong scope.
FreeBSD and Android runtime/build fixes (3753c8b, 7cf6296)
The FreeBSD lane gets several runtime fixes plus harness updates so the suite can actually run there, and Android --compile executables now avoid the PIE load-bias crash while keeping Intl's locale behavior correct. These are platform-specific bug fixes that unblock real test and release paths.
SQL/MySQL and node:vm behavior now better matches Node (032b8db, 60f6e18, 008d700)
MySQL auth failures now explain the public-key-retrieval remedy instead of reporting a misleading generic close, node:vm now rejects array/function options like Node does, and SQL callbacks now run in the async context where the instance was created. These are smaller but user-visible correctness fixes.
