Node.js v26.3.0 has been released.

Notable Changes

Potential changes to macOS Universal Binary availability

With Apple and its ecosystem progressively dropping support for Intel-based
architectures, it has become apparent that the Node.js project may not be able
to maintain the universal binaries we currently distribute for the full lifetime
of Node.js 26. This change serves to communicate that risk. At present, our
intention remains to continue shipping universal binaries supporting both Apple
Silicon and Intel-based Macs for as long as practical.
