- Enabled experimental type stripping by default, allowing Node.js to execute TypeScript files without extra configuration (can be disabled with --no-experimental-strip-types).
- Added several new APIs and language features: import.meta.main, fileURLToPathBuffer, async disposable Worker, watch kill‑signal flag, permission model flags on spawn, readBigInts option for SQLite, and permission.has(addon) support.
- Updated core dependencies (npm 10.9.3, sqlite 3.50.2, acorn 8.15.0, etc.) and applied security fixes such as SHAKE128/256 handling for OpenSSL 3.4 and corrected crypto build defines.
