Updated v8 to version 13.8.

Workers - 2025-05-27

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Historically, in some cases, the same instance of ctx would be passed to multiple invocations of the event handler. We now always pass a new object for each event. We made this change retroactive to all compatibility dates because we suspect it fixes security bugs in some workers and does not break any worker. However, the old behavior can be restored using the compat flag nonclass_entrypoint_reuses_ctx_across_invocations.

Workers - 2025-05-22

Thu, 22 May 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Workers - 2025-02-13

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Smart Placement no longer runs Workers in the same location as D1 databases they are bound to. The same placement logic now applies to all Workers that use Smart Placement, regardless of whether they use D1 bindings.

Workers - 2025-02-11

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT

When Workers generate an "internal error" exception in response to certain failures, the exception message may provide a reference ID that customers can include in support communication for easier error identification. For example, an exception with the new message might look like: internal error; reference = 0123456789abcdefghijklmn.

When using the nodejs_compat_v2 compatibility flag, the setImmediate(fn) API from Node.js is now available at the global scope.
The internal_writable_stream_abort_clears_queue compatibility flag will ensure that certain WritableStream abort() operations are handled immediately rather than lazily, ensuring that the stream is appropriately aborted when the consumer of the stream is no longer active.

Workers - 2024-07-19

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Workers - 2024-07-01

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT

When using Gradual Deployments, you can now use version overrides to send a request to a specific version of your Worker.

Workers - 2024-06-28

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Fixed a bug which caused Date.now() to return skewed results if called before the first I/O of the first request after a Worker first started up. The value returned would be offset backwards by the amount of CPU time spent starting the Worker (compiling and running global scope), making it seem like the first I/O (e.g. first fetch()) was slower than it really was. This skew had nothing to do with Spectre mitigations; it was simply a longstanding bug.

Workers - 2024-06-24

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Exceptions thrown from Durable Object internal operations and tunneled to the caller may now be populated with a .retryable: true property if the exception was likely due to a transient failure, or populated with an .overloaded: true property if the exception was due to overload.

Workers - 2024-06-20

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT

We now prompt for extra confirmation if attempting to rollback to a version of a Worker using the Deployments API where the value of a secret is different than the currently deployed version. A ?force=true query parameter can be specified to proceed with the rollback.

Workers - 2024-06-19

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT

When using nodejs_compat compatibility flag, the buffer module now has an implementation of isAscii() and isUtf8() methods.

Workers - 2024-05-03

Fri, 03 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Fixed RPC to/from Durable Objects not honoring the output gate.
The internal_stream_byob_return_view compatibility flag can be used to improve the standards compliance of the ReadableStreamBYOBReader implementation when working with BYOB streams provided by the runtime (like in response.body or request.body). The flag ensures that the final read result will always include a value field whose value is set to an empty Uint8Array whose underlying ArrayBuffer is the same memory allocation as the one passed in on the call to read().
The Web platform standard reportError(err) global API is now available in workers. The reported error will first be emitted as an 'error' event on the global scope then reported in both the console output and tail worker exceptions by default.

Workers - 2024-04-26

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Workers - 2024-04-01

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT

The new unwrap_custom_thenables compatibility flag enables workers to accept custom thenables in internal APIs that expect a promise (for instance, the ctx.waitUntil(...) method).
TransformStreams created with the TransformStream constructor now have a cancel algorithm that is called when the stream is canceled or aborted. This change is part of the implementation of the WHATWG Streams standard.
The nodejs_compat compatibility flag now includes an implementation of the MockTracker API from node:test. This is not an implementation of the full node:test module, and mock timers are currently not included.
Exceptions reported to Tail Workers now include a "stack" property containing the exception's stack trace, if available.

Workers - 2024-03-11

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Built-in APIs that return Promises will now produce stack traces when the Promise rejects. Previously, the rejection error lacked a stack trace.
A new compat flag fetcher_no_get_put_delete removes the get(), put(), and delete() methods on service bindings and Durable Object stubs. This will become the default as of compatibility date 2024-03-26. These methods were designed as simple convenience wrappers around fetch(), but were never documented.
Updated v8 to version 12.3.

Workers - 2024-02-24

Sat, 24 Feb 2024 00:00:00 GMT

AbortSignal.any() is now available.
Updated V8 to 11.4.
Following an update to the WHATWG URL spec, the delete() and has() methods of the URLSearchParams class now accept an optional second argument to specify the search parameter’s value. This is potentially a breaking change, so it is gated behind the new urlsearchparams_delete_has_value_arg and url_standard compatibility flags.
Added the strict_compression_checks compatibility flag for additional DecompressionStream error checking.

Workers - 2023-05-26

Fri, 26 May 2023 00:00:00 GMT

A new Hibernatable WebSockets API (beta) has been added to Durable Objects. The Hibernatable WebSockets API allows a Durable Object that is not currently running an event handler (for example, processing a WebSocket message or alarm) to be removed from memory while keeping its WebSockets connected (“hibernation”). A Durable Object that hibernates will not incur billable Duration (GB-sec) charges.
