Node.js v23.10.0 released!

[NewsBot]

Node.js v23.10.0 has been released.

Notable Changes

Introducing --experimental-config-file

With the introduction of test runner, SEA, and other feature that require a lot
of flags, a JSON config flag would improve by a lot the developer experience and
increase adoption.

You can have a node.config.json containing:

{
  "$schema": "https://nodejs.org/dist/v23.10.0/docs/node-config-schema.json",
  "nodeOptions": {
    "test-coverage-lines": 80,
    "test-coverage-branches": 60
  }
}

You can run your tests without passing the flags defined in the config file.

node --experimental-default-config-file --test --experimental-test-coverage

or

node --experimental-config-file=node.config.json --test --experimental-test-coverage

Node.js will not sanitize or perform validation on the user-provided configuration,
so only ever use trusted configuration files.
