22.17.0 Notable Changes
⚠️ Deprecations
Instantiating node:http classes without new
Constructing classes like IncomingMessage or ServerResponse without the new
keyword is now discouraged. This clarifies API expectations and aligns with standard
JavaScript behavior. It may warn or error in future versions.
Contributed by Yagiz Nizipli in #58518.
options.shell = "" in node:child_process
Using an empty string for shell previously had undefined behavior. This change
encourages explicit choices (e.g., shell: true or a shell path) and avoids
relying on implementation quirks.
Contributed by Antoine du Hamel and Renegade334 #58564.
HTTP/2 priority signaling
The HTTP/2 prioritization API (e.g., stream.priority) is now deprecated due to
poor real-world support. Applications should avoid using priority hints and expect future removal.
Contributed by Matteo Collina and Antoine du Hamel #58313.
✅ Features graduated to stable
assert.partialDeepStrictEqual()
This method compares only a subset of properties in deep object comparisons,
useful for flexible test assertions. Its stabilization means it's now safe for
general use and won't change unexpectedly in future releases.
Contributed by Ruben Bridgewater in #57370.
