🤟 Node v22.2.0 (Current) Released A less significant release, feature-wise, than 22.0 or 22.1, but lots of little bug fixes, tweaks around core dev experience, getting Node’s built-in ESLint rules ready for ESLint v9, and the ՝--inspect-wait՝ flag to make the debugger wait for a connection in order to debug code from the very start of execution.
