Node.js v26.1.0 is live, and the release documentation is already published to the main site.

The Node.js team published v26.1.0 to nodejs.org [1], marking another incremental release in the v26 line. The blog post went live alongside the release, ensuring developers have immediate access to release notes and upgrade guidance. Meanwhile, the reliability desk is tracking a new incident report [2] that may surface performance or stability insights from the field. Ship v26.1.0 into staging immediately to catch any edge cases before production rollout.
