Node.js has released version 22.23.1 LTS to address a regression in HTTP stream handling that occurred in the previous version, 22.23.0. The update, primarily driven by Matteo Collina's fix, prevents stream listeners from lingering on idle agent sockets, resolving issues with persistent connections. Additionally, the CI coverage pipeline has been updated to Windows 2022 images for improved infrastructure alignment. Users are encouraged to skip the problematic 22.23.0 and upgrade directly to 22.23.1 to ensure stability and security

Node.js 22.23.1 LTS Released to Fix HTTP Stream Regression from 22.23.0

Node.js has released version 22.23.1 LTS to correct a regression in HTTP stream handling that slipped into last week’s 22.23.0 security patch. Matteo Collina’s fix prevents stream listeners from lingering on idle agent sockets, resolving the unexpected behavior that disrupted persistent connections. The update also quietly shifts the CI coverage pipeline to Windows 2022 images for better infrastructure alignment. If you haven’t deployed the previous release yet, it’s best to skip straight to this patch to avoid an extra upgrade cycle.
