NodeJS 24.2.0 released

Software 43372 Published 2025-06-10 07:37 by Philipp Esselbach

News

Node.js 24.2.0 has made several significant changes, one of which is the removal of support for HTTP/2 priority signaling in nghttp2, a feature that RFC 9113 deprecated. The removal of priority signaling from all release lines of Node.js, including Node.js 24, has been implemented to incorporate the latest updates from nghttp2. The import.meta.main function is now accessible, enabling ECMAScript modules to ascertain if the current module serves as the entry point for the ongoing process. Additional significant updates encompass the inclusion of Filip Skokan to TSC, the deprecation of util.isNativeError in favor of Error.isError, and the introduction of autoClose options to FileHandle readableWebStream.

Additional modifications encompass rendering the event loop delay histogram disposable, enabling namespace options within configuration files, and ensuring that the worker is asynchronously disposable. Moreover, we have implemented updates to rectify pointer compression builds, address broken benchmarks, and improve the versions of nghttp2 and libuv. The changes include upgrading nghttp2 to version 1.65.0, using the right C standards in the libuv build process, updating simdjson to version 3.12.3, changing googletest to commit e9092b1, updating corepack to version 0.33.0, and moving the OpenSSL gen container to Ubuntu 22.04.

Node.js — Node v24.2.0 (Current)

Notable Changes

Remove support for HTTP/2 priority signaling

The support for priority signaling has been removed in nghttp2, following its deprecation in the RFC 9113. As a consequence of this, priority signaling is deprecated on all release lines of Node.js, and removed from Node.js 24 so we can include latest updates from nghttp2.

import.meta.main is now available

Boolean value available in ECMAScript modules, which can be used to detect whether the current module was the entry point of the current process.
export function foo() {
  return 'Hello, world';
}

function main() {
  const message = foo();  
  console.log(message);
}

if (import.meta.main) main();
// `foo` can be imported from another module without possible side-effects from `main`
