[Node.js](https://devtalk.com/nodejs) v25.0.0 has been released.

> [@](#):
>
> Node.js 25 is here! We have upgraded V8 to **14.1** , bringing major `JSON.stringify`  
> performance improvements, built-in `Uint8Array` base64/hex conversion, and ongoing  
> WebAssembly and JIT pipeline optimizations.
> 
> This release doubles down on secure-by-default apps and web-standard APIs: the permission  
> model gains `--allow-net`, Web Storage is enabled by default, and `ErrorEvent` is now a global.
> 
> We’ve also removed or finalized long-deprecated APIs such as SlowBuffer,  
> and added quality-of-life improvements like a portable compile cache and JSPI for WebAssembly.
>
