Notable Changes

Experimental Web Streams API

Node.js now exposes an experimental implementation of the Web Streams API.

While it is experimental, the API is not exposed on the global object and is only accessible using the new stream/web core module:

import { ReadableStream, WritableStream } from 'stream/web';
// Or from 'node:stream/web'

Importing the module will emit a single experimental warning per process.

The raw API is implemented and we are now working on its integration with various existing core APIs.

2021-07-05, Version 16.4.2 (Current), @BethGriggs

Notable Changes

Node.js 16.4.1 introduced a regression in the Windows installer on non-English locales that is being fixed in this release. There is no need to download this release if you are not using the Windows installer.

Commits

  • [76e709ec63] - win,msi: use localized "Authenticated Users" name (Richard Lau) #39241

2021-07-01, Version 16.4.1 (Current), @BethGriggs

This is a security release.

Notable Changes

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2021-22918: libuv upgrade - Out of bounds read (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to out-of-bounds read in libuv's uv__idna_toascii() function which is used to convert strings to ASCII. This is called by Node's dns module's lookup() function and can lead to information disclosures or crashes. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22918
  • CVE-2021-22921: Windows installer - Node Installer Local Privilege Escalation (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to local privilege escalation attacks under certain conditions on Windows platforms. More specifically, improper configuration of permissions in the installation directory allows an attacker to perform two different escalation attacks: PATH and DLL hijacking. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22921

Stable Timers Promises API

The Timers Promises API provides an alternative set of timer functions that return Promise objects. Added in Node.js v15.0.0, in this release they graduate from experimental status to stable.

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades

Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs for the Intel (darwin-x64) and ARM (darwin-arm64) architectures the macOS installer (.pkg) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture) binary.

V8 9.0

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance tweaks and improvements.

This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices array is available via the .indices property on match objects when the regular expression has the /d flag.
