Node.js 19 is here! Highlights include the update of the V8 JavaScript engine to 10.7, HTTP(s)/1.1 KeepAlive enabled by default, and ESM Resolution adjustments.
Node.js 19 will replace Node.js 18 as our ‘Current’ release line when Node.js 18 enters long-term support (LTS) later this month.
As per the release schedule, Node.js 19 will be ‘Current' release for the next 6 months, until April 2023.
Notable Changes
Deprecations and Removals
HTTP(S)/1.1 KeepAlive by default
Starting with this release, Node.js sets
keepAliveto true by default. This means that any outgoing HTTP(s) connection will automatically use HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive. The default waiting window is 5 seconds.Enable keep-alive will deliver better throughput as connections are reused by default.
Additionally, the agent is now able to parse the response
Keep-Alivewhich the servers might send. This header instructs the client on how much to stay connected.On the other side, the Node.js HTTP server will now automatically disconnect idle clients (which are using HTTP Keep-Alive to reuse the connection) when
close()is invoked).Node.js HTTP(S)/1.1 requests may experience a better throughput/performance by default.
Contributed by Paolo Insogna in #43522
DTrace/SystemTap/ETW Support were removed
The main reason is the lack of resources from the Node.js team. The complexity to keep the support up-to-date has proved not worth it without a clear plan to support those tools. Hence, an issue was raised in the Node.js repository to assess better support, for
DTracein specific.Contributed by Ben Noordhuis in #43651 and #43652
V8 10.7
The V8 engine is updated to version 10.7, which is part of Chromium 107.

New
node:moduleAPIregisterfor module customization hooks; newinitializehookThere is a new API
registeravailable onnode:moduleto specify a file that exports module customization hooks, and pass data to the hooks, and establish communication channels with them. The “define the file with the hooks” part was previously handled by a flag--experimental-loader, but when the hooks moved into a dedicated thread in 20.0.0 there was a need to provide a way to communicate between the main (application) thread and the hooks thread. This can now be done by callingregisterfrom the main thread and passing data, includingMessageChannelinstances.We encourage users to migrate to an approach that uses

Ada 2.0 has been integrated into the Node.js codebase, ensuring that all parts of the application can benefit from the

Add support for externally shared js builtins
By default Node.js is built so that all dependencies are bundled into the Node.js binary itself. Some Node.js distributions prefer to manage dependencies externally. There are existing build options that allow dependencies with native code to be externalized. This commit adds additional options so that dependencies with JavaScript code (including WASM) can also be externalized. This addition does not affect binaries shipped by the Node.js project but will allow other distributions to externalize additional dependencies when needed.

Deprecations and Removals
fs.write,fs.writeFileSync(Livia Medeiros) #42607dns.lookupanddnsPromises.lookupoptions type coercion (Antoine du Hamel) #41431fetch (experimental)
An experimental fetch API is available on the global scope by default. The implementation is based upon undici, an HTTP/1.1 client written for Node.js by contributors to the project.
Through this addition, the following globals are made available:
fetch,FormData,Headers,Request,Response.Disable this API with the
--no-experimental-fetchcommand-line flag.Contributed by Michaël Zasso in #41811.
HTTP Timeouts
server.headersTimeoutwhich limits the amount of time the parser will wait to receive the complete HTTP headers is now set to60000(60 seconds) by default.server.requestTimeoutwhich sets the timeout value in milliseconds for receiving the entire request from the client is now set to300000(5 minutes) by default.If these timeouts expire, the server responds with status 408 without forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the connection.
Both timeouts must be set to a non-zero value to protect against potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed without a reverse proxy in front.
Contributed by Paolo Insogna in #41263.
Test Runner module (experimental)
The
node:testmodule facilitates the creation of JavaScript tests that report results in TAP format. To access it:import test from 'node:test';This module is only available under the
node:scheme.The following is an example implementation of a parent test with two subtests:

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades
Prebuilt binaries for 32-bit Windows will initially not be available due to issues building the V8 dependency in Node.js. We hope to restore 32-bit Windows binaries for Node.js 18 with a future V8 update.
Node.js does not support running on operating systems that are no longer supported by their vendor. For operating systems where their vendor has planned to end support earlier than April 2025, such as Windows 8.1 (January 2023) and Windows Server 2012 R2 (October 2023), support for Node.js 18 will end at the earlier date.
Full details about the supported toolchains and compilers are documented in the Node.js BUILDING.md file.

V8 10.1
The V8 engine is updated to version 10.1, which is part of Chromium 101. Compared to the version included in Node.js 17.9.0, the following new features are included:
findLastandfindLastIndexarray methods.Intl.LocaleAPI.Intl.supportedValuesOffunction.The data format returned by the serialization API (
v8.serialize(value)) has changed, and cannot be deserialized by earlier versions of Node.js. On the other hand, it is still possible to deserialize the previous format, as the API is backwards-compatible.Contributed by Michaël Zasso in #42657.
Web Streams API (experimental)
Node.js now exposes the experimental implementation of the Web Streams API on the global scope. This means the following APIs are now globally available:
ReadableStream,ReadableStreamDefaultReader,ReadableStreamBYOBReader,ReadableStreamBYOBRequest,ReadableByteStreamController,ReadableStreamDefaultController,TransformStream,TransformStreamDefaultController,WritableStream,WritableStreamDefaultWriter,WritableStreamDefaultController,ByteLengthQueuingStrategy,CountQueuingStrategy,TextEncoderStream,TextDecoderStream,CompressionStream,DecompressionStream.Contributed James Snell in #39062, and Antoine du Hamel in #42225.
