This release includes a fix for a YJIT bug related to local variables and addresses a build issue on Windows when using GCC 15. It was released ahead of schedule to make these fixes available as soon as possible. A few other bug fixes are also included.

Please see the release notes on GitHub for further details.

Release Schedule

We intend to release the latest stable Ruby version (currently Ruby 3.4) every two months following the most recent release. Following this release (3.4.4), Ruby 3.4.5 is scheduled for July, 3.4.6 for September, 3.4.7 for November, and 3.4.8 for January.

If a change arises that significantly affects users, a release may occur earlier than planned, and the subsequent schedule may shift accordingly.

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.
