I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v23.6.0

1.2 Version Information:

On January 7, 2025, a new version was released that notably unflags the --experimental-strip-types feature, allowing Node.js to execute TypeScript files without additional configuration, although it remains experimental. Other significant updates include the addition of TypeScript support to STDIN eval, new process.ref() and process.unref() methods, and enhancements in worker threads to support TypeScript evaluation, reflecting a trend towards improved TypeScript integration and process management capabilities.

II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

1. crypto.generatePrime results in an abort in FIPS mode: This issue reports a bug in Node.js version v22.11.0 where using the crypto.generatePrime function in FIPS mode results in an abort instead of handling the error gracefully. The expected behavior is for the system to throw an exception or error that can be caught and managed, rather than terminating the entire Node.js process.

   • The comments discuss attempts to reproduce the issue on different systems, with some users experiencing similar aborts and others encountering issues related to FIPS mode configuration. It is noted that the problem may be linked to the random number generation in FIPS mode, and a specific failure in the CSPRNG() function is identified as a potential cause. The discussion includes references to related issues and the importance of having a properly configured FIPS setup.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

2. child_process.execFile may resolve with incomplete output: This issue concerns the child_process.execFile function in Node.js, which may resolve with incomplete output when a timeout is set, leading to unexpected behavior where subprocesses appear to resolve successfully but with empty stdout. The problem arises due to a race condition in the internal kill function, which destroys the stdout and stderr streams, causing the promise to resolve with incomplete data even when the child process is not marked as killed.

   • The comments discuss the assumption that child processes should exit before the timeout, but this is not guaranteed due to potential race conditions. Suggestions are made to improve documentation or modify behavior, but these are met with concerns about backward compatibility. The discussion highlights that the promise may resolve with incomplete output, and the issue persists even with non-promisified execFile, indicating a need for a more reliable way to handle timeouts and process termination signals.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

3. TextDecoder incorrectly decodes 0x92 for Windows-1252: This issue reports a bug in the TextDecoder for the Windows-1252 encoding, where the byte 0x92 is incorrectly decoded as 146 instead of the expected 8217, a problem that has arisen in recent versions of the software. The issue is suspected to be related to a previous fix and is consistently reproducible across different platforms, with the expectation that 0x92 should map to 0x2019 according to the Windows-1252 codepage.

   • The comments discuss the incorrect use of the latin1 decoder for Windows-1252, which leads to incorrect character mapping, and suggest a workaround using the stream: true option to bypass the latin1 fast path. There is also a mention of related bugs in TextEncoder and a reference to another issue that has not been addressed, with a suggestion that this could be a good issue for new contributors to tackle.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

4. Test runner matching every .ts and .js if glob is not provided: This issue describes a problem with the test runner in Node.js versions 23.6.0 and 22.10.0, where it executes all .ts and .js files in a test directory if no specific glob pattern is provided, which is considered an undesired behavior by the issue reporter. The reporter suggests that the test runner should only match files with a .test.js extension to avoid unintended execution of non-test files, especially .ts fixtures.

   • The comments discuss the default behavior of matching files in a test directory, with some users pointing out that this is intended and inherited from other tools like tapjs and Mocha. There is a debate on whether to change this behavior, with some arguing it would be a significant and aggressive breaking change, while others believe a more selective matching pattern would be healthier for the ecosystem.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

5. MD5 SIMD: This issue discusses the potential performance improvements of using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) for MD5 hashing in HTTP file handling, which is currently slow and does not fully utilize modern hardware capabilities. The proposal suggests implementing a technique that allows multiple MD5 hashes to be processed in parallel, potentially improving performance by 2-6 times in real-world applications without altering existing APIs.

   • The comments discuss the feasibility and implementation details of using SIMD for MD5 hashing, including the need for asynchronous processing and batching requests. There is a request for code examples to support the performance claims, and a reference to a related discussion in another GitHub issue is mentioned.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

  • issues/56480

• Node.js CLI API Documentation Issues: The description of the NO_COLOR and NODE_DISABLE_COLORS environment variables in the Node.js CLI API documentation was incorrect. NO_COLOR only disables color at the command-line, while NODE_DISABLE_COLORS affects both the command-line and REPL, necessitating a revision for clarity.
  • issues/56485

• Node.js Test Runner and Usability Concerns: The Node.js test runner required two actions to run a single test, unlike other major test runners that only require one. It was suggested that Node's test runner be simplified to match the behavior of other test runners by eliminating the need for the --test-only flag.
  • issues/56535

• Jest and ECMAScript Modules Syntax Errors: A problem with Jest and ECMAScript Modules (ESM) involved type annotations in TypeScript not being stripped as expected when using Node.js's experimental VM modules. This resulted in a syntax error due to an unexpected token, highlighting a need for better handling of TypeScript in ESM.
  • issues/56550

• Node.js REPL Misunderstanding: A misunderstanding in the Node.js REPL involved the incorrect use of Number.Epsilon instead of Number.EPSILON, leading to unexpected behavior. This highlighted the importance of using correct constants to avoid errors in numerical computations.
