Node.js 15 comes with npm 7 support and updated handling of rejections

The JavaScript runtime Node.js has been updated to version 15. Node.js 15 will replace Node.js 14 on the team’s current release line, and Node.js 14 has been moved to long-term support. 

According to the team, Node.js 15 will be updated every two weeks with the latest features and changes. 

Version 15 features support for npm 7, which was announced last week with long-awaited features such as workspaces, the ability to automatically install peer dependencies, and support for yarn.lock.

In previous releases of Node.js, unhandled rejections would set off a warning about the rejection and a deprecation warning. With version 15, unhandled rejections are now changed to throw mode, which raises it as an uncaught expectation. “We made this change to align with community expectations and to help surface problems that would otherwise be hard to locate and debug. It brings behavior of unhandled rejections in line with that for unhandled exceptions where we’ve seen the throw behavior being helpful,” IBM community lead for Node.js Michael Sawson and Node.js TSC member at Red Hat Bethany Griggs wrote in a post. 

Node.js 15 also comes with N-API version 7, which introduces additional methods for working with array buffers. 

Other features include the refinement of the async local storage APIs, V8 8.6, and QUIC.

The latest release will not be promoted to LTS, and the team recommends using an LTS release line for production deployments. Node.js 14 will be supported until April 2023, and Node.js 10 will enter end-of-life in April 2021. 

In addition to the release, the team also announced improvements to its automation and tooling, and the technical values document to guide ongoing efforts. 

“Try out the new Node.js 15 release! We’re always happy to hear your feedback! It’s also worth testing your applications and modules with Node.js 15, to ensure the future compatibility of your project with the latest Node.js features and changes,” the Node.js team wrote in a post.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
