To upgrade Bun:

bun upgrade

Fixed: crash in fs.readFile

In certain cases, Bun would crash when reading a file with fs.readFile, fs.readFileSync, or fs.promises.readFile. This was caused by an unintiailized memory access introduced when Bun added support for standalone modules.

Fixed: crash in Bun.file().text()

A crash when reading a file with Bun.file().text() that had a Byte Order Mark has been fixed. This crash was introduced in Bun v1.0.24.

Fixed: crash in IPC

A crash in IPC that would occur 4-5 seconds after the process started has been fixed. This crash was introduced when upgrading our version of uSockets to gain "long timeout" support. The crash was a null-pointer dereference when calling the timeout callback.

Fixed: transpiler loose equality comparison bug

The following input would be constant-folded incorrectly:

"" == 0;
"-0" == 0;
1234n == 5678n;

This has been fixed, thanks to @dylan-conway.

vm.createScript

The node:vm function createScript has been added. This calls new vm.Script with the same arguments.

Windows is coming soon
