26.13.0

Notable Changes

This release marks the transition of Node.js 26.x into Long Term Support (LTS) with the codename 'Lithium'. It will continue to receive updates through to the end of April 2029.

Other than updating metadata, such as the process.release object, to reflect that the release is LTS, no further changes from Node.js 26.12.1 are included.

If you are updating from an earlier Long Term Support release (e.g. Node.js 24 or 22 or earlier) please note that since Node.js 25 the official binaries for Linux are linked against libatomic, which may need to be installed separately depending on your Linux distribution.
