🌟 Bun 1.1 Released with Windows Support

With the codename Bundows, the popular alternative JS runtime can now run directly on Windows 10+ (plus WSL, macOS and Linux, etc). This is a key step in Bun's broader adoption vs Node, and even features like Bun Shell work on Windows. Node compatibility continues to improve too with support for node:http2 and IPC support between Bun and Node processes.
