Notable Changes
⚠️ Deprecations
Instantiating node:http classes without new

Constructing classes like IncomingMessage or ServerResponse without the new keyword is now discouraged. This clarifies API expectations and aligns with standard JavaScript behavior. It may warn or error in future versions.

Contributed by Yagiz Nizipli in #​58518.

options.shell = "" in node:child_process

Using an empty string for shell previously had undefined behavior. This change encourages explicit choices (e.g., shell: true or a shell path) and avoids relying on implementation quirks.

Contributed by Antoine du Hamel and Renegade334 #​58564.

HTTP/2 priority signaling

The HTTP/2 prioritization API (e.g., stream.priority) is now deprecated due to poor real-world support. Applications should avoid using priority hints and expect future removal.

Contributed by Matteo Collina and Antoine du Hamel #​58313.

✅ Features graduated to stable
assert.partialDeepStrictEqual()

This method compares only a subset of properties in deep object comparisons, useful for flexible test assertions. Its stabilization means it's now safe for general use and won't change unexpectedly in future releases.

Contributed by Ruben Bridgewater in #​57370.

Semver-minor features
🔧 fs.FileHandle.readableWebStream gets autoClose option

This gives developers explicit control over whether the file descriptor should be closed when the stream ends. Helps avoid subtle resource leaks.

Contributed by James M Snell in #​58548.

🔧 fs.Dir now supports explicit resource management

This improves ergonomics around async iteration of directories. Developers can now manually control when a directory is closed using .close() or with Symbol.asyncDispose.

Contributed by Antoine du Hamel in #​58206.

📊 http2 gains diagnostics channel: http2.server.stream.finish

Adds observability support for when a stream finishes. Useful for logging, monitoring, and debugging HTTP/2 behavior without patching internals.

Contributed by Darshan Sen in #​58560.

🔐 Permissions: implicit allow-fs-read to entrypoint

Node.js permissions model now allows read access to the entry file by default. It makes running permission-restricted apps smoother while preserving security.

Contributed by Rafael Gonzaga in #​58579.

🎨 util.styleText() adds 'none' style

This lets developers remove styling cleanly without hacks. Useful for overriding inherited terminal styles when composing styled strings.

Contributed by James M Snell in #​58437.
