What's new

A huge thank you to @zhuzilin for all their help on this release. @zhuzilin fixed 4 crashes!

bun link lets you symlink a folder to node_modules. It works like npm link.

fs.copyFileSync gets 2x to 10x faster:

require.resolve works at runtime now instead of only build-time

WebSocket is more reliable now. Previously the garbage collector would attempt to free it when the socket was still open 🙉

bun:ffi's toBuffer and toArrayBuffer functions now support a function pointer to a destructor so that native code can perform cleanup without needing to go through a FinalizationRegistry.

console.log

TypedArray logs the value for the type (instead of in bytes 🙈)

console.log(MessageEvent ) is more useful now

More:

• setInterval wouldn't cause the process to stay alive 😢 and now that is fixed thanks to @zhuzilin
• Log error on unhandled rejected promises by @zhuzilin in https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/1010
• Log error on uncaught exceptions in event loop
• bun install gets a symlink backend, which you probably don't want to use in most cases. It's used internally if you do file:./ as a dependency, which some packages do
• process.revision returns the git sha used to build bun
