Node fixes TSFN shutdown crash, http2 memory leak

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Node.js · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Node landed a native-addon crash fix in node-api and released queued http2 memory on stream cancellation, while the v24 changelog gained a second CVE id for the non-canonical IP address fix.

node-api: fix crash on re-entering TSFN finalization during env shutdown nodejs/node

by legendecas

ThreadSafeFunction finalization no longer sets state = kClosed before calling into user code, which could re-enter napi_release_threadsafe_function and delete the TSFN synchronously in the middle of ThreadSafeFunction::MaybeDelete.

by Ulises Gascón

security-release-process.md no longer tells releasers to lock down and unlock the CI on release day; the steps are removed and the checklist renumbered, matching releases.md, where the lockdown paragraph was already dropped.

feat: restore previous and next article navigation nodejs/learn

by dcavalcante

Learn articles get previous and next links at the end of the page again, reusing BaseCrossLink and the sidebar's article order, so readers on small screens no longer scroll back to the top dropdown. Elsewhere in the repo, Dependabot moved fast-uri from 3.1.8 to 3.1.9, a security release the notes describe as fixing four URI parsing and normalization vulnerabilities in 3.x, alongside an undici b...
