Notable Changes

Ada 2.0

Node.js v18.17.0 comes with the latest version of the URL parser, Ada. This update brings significant performance improvements
to URL parsing, including enhancements to the url.domainToASCII and url.domainToUnicode functions in node:url.

Ada 2.0 has been integrated into the Node.js codebase, ensuring that all parts of the application can benefit from the
improved performance. Additionally, Ada 2.0 features a significant performance boost over its predecessor, Ada 1.0.4,
while also eliminating the need for the ICU requirement for URL hostname parsing.

Contributed by Yagiz Nizipli and Daniel Lemire in #47339

Web Crypto API

Web Crypto API functions' arguments are now coerced and validated as per their WebIDL definitions like in other Web Crypto API implementations.
This further improves interoperability with other implementations of Web Crypto API.

Notable Changes

Mock Timers

The new feature allows developers to write more reliable and predictable tests for time-dependent functionality.
It includes MockTimers with the ability to mock setTimeout, setInterval from globals, node:timers, and node:timers/promises.

The feature provides a simple API to advance time, enable specific timers, and release all timers.

import assert from 'node:assert';
import { test } from 'node:test';

test('mocks setTimeout to be executed synchronously without having to actually wait for it', (context) => {
  const fn = context.mock.fn();
  // Optionally choose what to mock
  context.mock.timers.enable(['setTimeout']);
  const nineSecs = 9000;
  setTimeout(fn, nineSecs);

  const threeSeconds = 3000;
  context.mock.timers.tick(threeSeconds);
  context.mock.timers.tick(threeSeconds);
  context.mock.timers.tick(threeSeconds);

  assert.strictEqual(fn.mock.callCount(), 1);
});

This feature was contributed by Erick Wendel in #47775.

Support to the explicit resource management proposal

Node is adding support to the explicit resource management
proposal to its resources allowing users of TypeScript/babel to use using/await using with
V8 support for everyone else on the way.

This feature was contributed by Moshe Atlow and Benjamin Gruenbaum in #48518.

2023-04-18, Version 20.0.0 (Current), @RafaelGSS

We're excited to announce the release of Node.js 20! Highlights include the new Node.js Permission Model,
a synchronous import.meta.resolve, a stable test_runner, updates of the V8 JavaScript engine to 11.3, Ada to 2.0,
and more!

As a reminder, Node.js 20 will enter long-term support (LTS) in October, but until then, it will be the "Current" release for the next six months.
We encourage you to explore the new features and benefits offered by this latest release and evaluate their potential impact on your applications.

Notable Changes

Permission Model

Node.js now has an experimental feature called the Permission Model.
It allows developers to restrict access to specific resources during program execution, such as file system operations,
child process spawning, and worker thread creation.
The API exists behind a flag --experimental-permission which when enabled will restrict access to all available permissions.
By using this feature, developers can prevent their applications from accessing or modifying sensitive data or running potentially harmful code.
More information about the Permission Model can be found in the Node.js documentation.

The Permission Model was a contribution by Rafael Gonzaga in #44004.

Custom ESM loader hooks run on dedicated thread

ESM hooks supplied via loaders (--experimental-loader=foo.mjs) now run in a dedicated thread, isolated from the main thread.
This provides a separate scope for loaders and ensures no cross-contamination between loaders and application code.

Synchronous import.meta.resolve()

In alignment with browser behavior, this function now returns synchronously.
Despite this, user loader resolve hooks can still be defined as async functions (or as sync functions, if the author prefers).
Even when there are async resolve hooks loaded, import.meta.resolve will still return synchronously for application code.

Contributed by Anna Henningsen, Antoine du Hamel, Geoffrey Booth, Guy Bedford, Jacob Smith, and Michaël Zasso in #44710

V8 11.3

The V8 engine is updated to version 11.3, which is part of Chromium 113.
This version includes three new features to the JavaScript API:

The V8 update was a contribution by Michaël Zasso in #47251.

Stable Test Runner

The recent update to Node.js, version 20, includes an important change to the test_runner module. The module has been marked as stable after a recent update.
Previously, the test_runner module was experimental, but this change marks it as a stable module that is ready for production use.

Ada 2.0

Node.js v20 comes with the latest version of the URL parser, Ada. This update brings significant performance improvements
to URL parsing, including enhancements to the url.domainToASCII and url.domainToUnicode functions in node:url.

Ada 2.0 has been integrated into the Node.js codebase, ensuring that all parts of the application can benefit from the
improved performance. Additionally, Ada 2.0 features a significant performance boost over its predecessor, Ada 1.0.4,
while also eliminating the need for the ICU requirement for URL hostname parsing.

Preparing single executable apps now requires injecting a Blob

Building a single executable app now requires injecting a blob prepared by
Node.js from a JSON config instead of injecting the raw JS file.
This opens up the possibility of embedding multiple co-existing resources into the SEA (Single Executable Apps).

Web Crypto API

Web Crypto API functions' arguments are now coerced and validated as per their WebIDL definitions like in other Web Crypto API implementations.
This further improves interoperability with other implementations of Web Crypto API.

This change was made by Filip Skokan in #46067.

Official support for ARM64 Windows

Node.js now includes binaries for ARM64 Windows, allowing for native execution on the platform.
The MSI, zip/7z packages, and executable are available from the Node.js download site along with all other platforms.
The CI system was updated and all changes are now fully tested on ARM64 Windows, to prevent regressions and ensure compatibility.

ARM64 Windows was upgraded to tier 2 support by Stefan Stojanovic in #47233.

WASI version must now be specified

When new WASI() is called, the version option is now required and has no default value.
Any code that relied on the default for the version will need to be updated to request a specific version.

This change was made by Michael Dawson in #47391.

Deprecations and Removals

  • [3bed5f11e0] - (SEMVER-MAJOR) url: runtime-deprecate url.parse() with invalid ports (Rich Trott) #45526

url.parse() accepts URLs with ports that are not numbers. This behavior might result in host name spoofing with unexpected input.
These URLs will throw an error in future versions of Node.js, as the WHATWG URL API does already.
Starting with Node.js 20, these URLS cause url.parse() to emit a warning.
