Notable Changes
crypto: implement crypto.hash()
This patch introduces a helper crypto.hash() that computes
a digest from the input at one shot. This can be 1.2-2x faster
than the object-based createHash() for smaller inputs (<= 5MB)
that are readily available (not streamed) and incur less memory
overhead since no intermediate objects will be created.
const crypto = require('node:crypto');
// Hashing a string and return the result as a hex-encoded string.
const string = 'Node.js';
// 10b3493287f831e81a438811a1ffba01f8cec4b7
console.log(crypto.hash('sha1', string));

New connection attempt events
Three new events were added in the net.createConnection
flow:
connectionAttempt
: Emitted when a new connection attempt is established. In case of Happy Eyeballs, this might emitted multiple times.connectionAttemptFailed
: Emitted when a connection attempt failed. In case of Happy Eyeballs, this might emitted multiple times.connectionAttemptTimeout
: Emitted when a connection attempt timed out. In case of Happy Eyeballs, this will not be emitted for the last attempt. This is not emitted at all if Happy Eyeballs is not used.
Additionally, a previous bug has been fixed where a new connection attempt could have been started after a previous one failed and after the connection was destroyed by the user.
This led to a failed assertion.
Contributed by Paolo Insogna in #51045.
Permission Model changes
Node.js 20.12.0 comes with several fixes for the experimental permission model and two new semver-minor commits.
We're adding a new flag --allow-addons
to enable addon usage when using the Permission Model.
$ node --experimental-permission --allow-addons
Contributed by Rafael Gonzaga in #51183
And relative paths are now supported through the --allow-fs-*
flags.
Therefore, with this release one can use:
$ node --experimental-permission --allow-fs-read=./index.js
To give only read access to the entrypoint of the application.
Contributed by Rafael Gonzaga and Carlos Espa in #50758.
sea: support embedding assets
Users can now include assets by adding a key-path dictionary
to the configuration as the assets
field. At build time, Node.js
would read the assets from the specified paths and bundle them into
the preparation blob. In the generated executable, users can retrieve
the assets using the sea.getAsset()
and sea.getAssetAsBlob()
API.
{
"main": "/path/to/bundled/script.js",
"output": "/path/to/write/the/generated/blob.blob",
"assets": {
"a.jpg": "/path/to/a.jpg",
"b.txt": "/path/to/b.txt"
}
}
The single-executable application can access the assets as follows:
const { getAsset } = require('node:sea');
// Returns a copy of the data in an ArrayBuffer
const image = getAsset('a.jpg');
// Returns a string decoded from the asset as UTF8.
const text = getAsset('b.txt', 'utf8');
// Returns a Blob containing the asset without copying.
const blob = getAssetAsBlob('a.jpg');
Contributed by Joyee Cheung in #50960.
Support configurable snapshot through --build-snapshot-config
flag
We are adding a new flag --build-snapshot-config
to configure snapshots through a custom JSON configuration file.
$ node --build-snapshot-config=/path/to/myconfig.json
When using this flag, additional script files provided on the command line will
not be executed and instead be interpreted as regular command line arguments.
These changes were contributed by Joyee Cheung and Anna Henningsen in #50453
Text Styling
util.styleText(format, text)
: This function returns a formatted text considering theformat
passed.
A new API has been created to format text based on util.inspect.colors
, enabling you to style text in different colors (such as red, blue, ...) and emphasis (italic, bold, ...).
const { styleText } = require('node:util');
const errorMessage = styleText('red', 'Error! Error!');
console.log(errorMessage);
Contributed by Rafael Gonzaga in #51850.
vm: support using the default loader to handle dynamic import()
This patch adds support for using vm.constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER
as the
importModuleDynamically
option in all vm APIs that take this option except vm.SourceTextModule
. This allows users to have a shortcut to support dynamic import()
in the compiled code without missing the compilation cache if they don't need customization of the loading process. We emit an experimental warning when the import()
is actually handled by the default loader through this option instead of requiring --experimental-vm-modules
.
const { Script, constants } = require('node:vm');
const { resolve } = require('node:path');
const { writeFileSync } = require('node:fs');
// Write test.js and test.txt to the directory where the current script
// being run is located.
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.mjs'),
'export const filename = "./test.json";');
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.json'),
'{"hello": "world"}');
// Compile a script that loads test.mjs and then test.json
// as if the script is placed in the same directory.
const script = new Script(
`(async function() {
const { filename } = await import('./test.mjs');
return import(filename, { with: { type: 'json' } })
})();`,
{
filename: resolve(__dirname, 'test-with-default.js'),
importModuleDynamically: constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER,
});
// { default: { hello: 'world' } }
script.runInThisContext().then(console.log);

Notable Changes
Added support for import attributes
Support has been added for import attributes, to replace the old import
assertions syntax. This will aid migration by making the new syntax available
across all currently supported Node.js release lines.
This adds the with
keyword which should be used in place of the previous
assert
keyword, which will be removed in a future semver-major Node.js
release.
For example,
import "foo" assert { ... }
should be replaced with
import "foo" with { ... }
For more details, see

Doc deprecation for dirent.path

instead.

Experimental node-api feature flags
Introduces an experimental feature to segregate finalizers that affect GC state.
A new type called node_api_nogc_env
has been introduced as the const version
of napi_env
and node_api_nogc_finalize
as a variant of napi_finalize
that
accepts a node_api_nogc_env
as its first argument.
This feature can be turned off by defining
NODE_API_EXPERIMENTAL_NOGC_ENV_OPT_OUT
.

vm: fix V8 compilation cache support for vm.Script
Previously repeated compilation of the same source code using vm.Script
stopped hitting the V8 compilation cache after v16.x when support for
importModuleDynamically
was added to vm.Script
, resulting in a performance
regression that blocked users (in particular Jest users) from upgrading from
v16.x.
The recent fixes allow the compilation cache to be hit again
for vm.Script
when --experimental-vm-modules
is not used even in the
presence of the importModuleDynamically
option, so that users affected by the
performance regression can now upgrade. Ongoing work is also being done to
enable compilation cache support for vm.CompileFunction
.

Notable Changes
This release reverts #51389, which
landed in Node.js 21.7.0. It is a documented feature that t.after()
hooks are
run even if a test has no subtests. The hook can be used to clean up the test
itself.

"main": "/path/to/bundled/script.js",
"output": "/path/to/write/the/generated/blob.blob",
"assets": {
"a.jpg": "/path/to/a.jpg",
"b.txt": "/path/to/b.txt"
}
}
The single-executable application can access the assets as follows:
const { getAsset } = require('node:sea');
// Returns a copy of the data in an ArrayBuffer
const image = getAsset('a.jpg');
// Returns a string decoded from the asset as UTF8.
const text = getAsset('b.txt', 'utf8');
// Returns a Blob containing the asset without copying.
const blob = getAssetAsBlob('a.jpg');

vm: support using the default loader to handle dynamic import()
This patch adds support for using vm.constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER
as the
importModuleDynamically
option in all vm APIs that take this option except vm.SourceTextModule
. This allows users to have a shortcut to support dynamic import()
in the compiled code without missing the compilation cache if they don't need customization of the loading process. We emit an experimental warning when the import()
is actually handled by the default loader through this option instead of requiring --experimental-vm-modules
.
const { Script, constants } = require('node:vm');
const { resolve } = require('node:path');
const { writeFileSync } = require('node:fs');
// Write test.js and test.txt to the directory where the current script
// being run is located.
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.mjs'),
'export const filename = "./test.json";');
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.json'),
'{"hello": "world"}');
// Compile a script that loads test.mjs and then test.json
// as if the script is placed in the same directory.
const script = new Script(
`(async function() {
const { filename } = await import('./test.mjs');
return import(filename, { with: { type: 'json' } })
})();`,
{
filename: resolve(__dirname, 'test-with-default.js'),
importModuleDynamically: constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER,
});
// { default: { hello: 'world' } }
script.runInThisContext().then(console.log);

crypto: implement crypto.hash()
This patch introduces a helper crypto.hash() that computes
a digest from the input at one shot. This can be 1.2-2x faster
than the object-based createHash() for smaller inputs (<= 5MB)
that are readily available (not streamed) and incur less memory
overhead since no intermediate objects will be created.
const crypto = require('node:crypto');
// Hashing a string and return the result as a hex-encoded string.
const string = 'Node.js';
// 10b3493287f831e81a438811a1ffba01f8cec4b7
console.log(crypto.hash('sha1', string));
