.A new `nodejs:24` module stream is available as a Technology Preview A new module stream, `nodejs:24`, is available as a Technology Preview. A future update will provide a Long Term Support (LTS) version of `Node.js 24`, which will be fully supported. `Node.js 24` included in RHEL 8.10 provides numerous new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and performance improvements over `Node.js 22`. Notable changes include: * V8 JavaScript engine updated to version 13.6. This unlocks new features such as ‎`RegExp.escape` for safer regular expressions, ‎`Float16Array` for 16-bit float handling, ‎`Atomics.pause` for improved concurrency, support for WebAssembly Memory64, explicit resource management with ‎`await using`, and the ‎`Error.isError` utility for error checking. * The permission model is stable, with the CLI flag changed to ‎`--permission`. This feature allows administrators to restrict application access to the file system, network, and other resources for security. * The ‎`URLPattern` API is globally available, simplifying URL matching and routing in web applications. * The built-in test runner automatically waits for subtests for easier test writing by reducing potential errors. * The HTTP client is updated to Undici 7.0.0, delivering improved standards support and performance, especially for HTTP-heavy services and ‎`fetch()` usage. * `npm` is updated to version 11, which provides faster installs, improved security checks, enhanced compatibility with modern package ecosystems, and several command and behavior changes, such as the removal of ‎`npm hook` and changes to the ‎`--ignore-scripts` flag. * Many legacy APIs are deprecated, including ‎`url.parse()`, ‎`SlowBuffer`, ‎`tls.createSecurePair`, and old-style ‎`fs` constants. These changes make Node.js 24 faster, more secure, and more aligned with modern JavaScript standards.
