🀟 Node.js v25.0.0 (Current) Released

The latest cutting edge version of Node has arrived with Web Storage enabled by default, JSON.stringify perf improvements, a new --allow-net option in the permission model, built-in Uint8Array base64/hex conversion, and WebAssembly and JIT optimizations. As shown in the diagram above, this means Node 24 will soon be promoted to being the 'active' LTS release and Node 22 will enter its 'maintenance' LTS phase.
