Node.js 26.2 marks stream.compose as stable and brings native Temporal.Instant support to the fs.Stats API, signaling the project's commitment to modern JavaScript primitives.

Node.js 26.2 shipped overnight with two significant stability moves [1]. The stream.compose utility, long experimental, is now stable production-ready, closing a chapter on one of the most-requested stream improvements [1]. In the same release, fs.Stats and BigIntStats now natively support Temporal.Instant objects [1], giving developers a path forward as the Temporal API matures toward Stage 3. The WebCryptoAPI test suite received a refresh to align with the latest WPT standards [2], ensuring your cryptography layer stays spec-compliant. On the Windows build front, the team continues optimizing release builds by replacing LTCG with Thin LTO [4], addressing peak memory constraints in the CI pipeline without sacrificing link-time optimization. Documentation corrections landed across stream iteration nomenclature [5] and V8 template references [3], keeping the guides accurate as the runtime evolves.
