Node.js v24.7.0 has been released.

Notable Changes

Post-Quantum Cryptography in node:crypto

OpenSSL 3.5 on 24.x kicked off post-quantum cryptography efforts in Node.js by
allowing use of NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standards for future-proofing
applications against quantum computing threats. The following post-quantum
algorithms are now available in node:crypto:

ML-KEM (FIPS 203, Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard) through new crypto.encapsulate() and crypto.decapsulate() methods.

ML-DSA (FIPS 204, Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard) in the existing crypto.sign() and crypto.verify() methods.

Contributed by Filip Skokan in #59259 and #59491.

Modern Algorithms in Web Cryptography API

The second substantial extension to the Web Cryptography API
(globalThis.crypto.subtle) was recently accepted for incubation by WICG.
The following algorithms and methods from this extension are now available in
the Node.js Web Cryptography API implementation:

AES-OCB

ChaCha20-Poly1305

ML-DSA

ML-KEM

SHA-3

SHAKE

subtle.getPublicKey()

SubtleCrypto.supports()

… with more coming in future releases.

Contributed by Filip Skokan in #59365, #59569, #59461, and #59539.

Node.js execution argument support in single executable applications

The single executable application configuration now supports additional fields
to specify Node.js execution arguments and control how they can be extended when
the application is run.

execArgv takes an array of strings for the execution arguments to be used.

execArgvExtension takes one of the following values:

"none": …
