2025-10-28, Version 24.11.0 'Krypton' (LTS), @richardlau

Notable Changes

This release marks the transition of Node.js 24.x into Long Term Support (LTS) with the codename ‘Krypton’. It will continue to receive updates through to the end of April 2028.

Other than updating metadata, such as the process.release object, to reflect that the release is LTS, no further changes from Node.js 24.10.0 are included.

Known issue

An issue has been identified in the Node.js 24.x line with Buffer.allocUnsafe unintentionally returning zero-filled buffers. This API is documented to return uninitialized memory. The documented behavior will be restored in the next Node.js 24.x LTS release to bring it back in line with previous releases. For more information, see #60423.
