Landed in 400bc5c 🎉 |
Notable changes: New file system APIs: * Added a new function, `fs.readv` (with sync and promisified versions). This function takes an array of `ArrayBufferView` elements and will write the data it reads sequentially to the buffers (Sk Sajidul Kadir). #32356 * A new overload is available for `fs.readSync`, which allows to optionally pass any of the `offset`, `length` and `position` parameters. #32460 Other changes: * dns: * Added the `dns.ALL` flag, that can be passed to `dns.lookup()` with `dns.V4MAPPED` to return resolved IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses (murgatroid99). #32183 * http: * The default maximum HTTP header size was changed from 8KB to 16KB (rosaxny). #32520 * n-api: * Calls to `napi_call_threadsafe_function` from the main thread can now return the `napi_would_deadlock` status in certain circumstances (Gabriel Schulhof). #32689 * util: * Added a new `maxStrLength` option to `util.inspect`, to control the maximum length of printed strings. Its default value is `Infinity` (rosaxny). #32392 * worker: * Added support for passing a `transferList` along with `workerData` to the `Worker` constructor (Juan José Arboleda). #32278 New core collaborators: With this release, we welcome three new Node.js core collaborators: * himself65. #32734 * flarna (Gerhard Stoebich). #32620 * mildsunrise (Alba Mendez). #32525 PR-URL: #32813

Can we backport this to v12? |
@cekvenich Yes, I don’t see anything speaking against that. That being said, v12.x supports two separate HTTP parsers, so it might not be trivial to do so. If you do need a specific default value, I would recommend to always set the CLI option explicitly. |
@addaleax Yes, CLI can work, but operational PITA. In v13.x I can also set the size, and I do that. If 12.x had a way to set it or if it had a reasonable default that would be nice. I'm happy 13.x does, so my libs require v13 as min supported. But if 12 had it, than my libs could have 12 as min supported. In any case thank you!!! |
Just curious about the justification behind this - why go down to 8kb and then back up to 16kb? Is this a happier medium that suits more cases, or is there some other reasoning? |
@contra It was 16kb for years, then they dropped it: as this way you can support more connections. But: often just the headers can be large and don't fit in 8K and you get funky messages.. So in v14 they fixed it/reverted it. But 14 is not the 'main' version: 12 is. |
