A patch release: a localStorage compatibility fix, two compat-floor runtime polyfill families, a prebuilt Nix flake, and a startup-path speedup.
Runtime fixes
localStorage matches vanilla Node on the 22.4–24 web-storage band. When web storage is unconfigured, Nub previously left localStorage present-but-undefined; it is now absent, exactly as on plain Node. This fixes test setups (vitest with happy-dom) and isomorphic libraries that feature-detect via an in check on the global. sessionStorage is unaffected. (#170, closes #166)
Runtime polyfills
Two TC39 feature families are now polyfilled where the running Node lacks them natively, complementing Nub's existing down-leveling. (#174)
| Feature | What changed | Availability |
|---|---|---|
Uint8Array base64/hex | The base64 and hex conversion methods are polyfilled | absent on Node 24 and below, native 25+ |
| Explicit Resource Management | DisposableStack, AsyncDisposableStack, and SuppressedError are polyfilled | absent on Node 23 and below, native 24+ |
Distribution
A prebuilt-binary Nix flake ships: install via nix run github:nubjs/nub or nix profile install github:nubjs/nub. (#169, closes #167)
Performance
Redundant work was removed from the startup path. (#160)
