we will need to launch a new beta containing a few fixes from the last beta, so I’ll try to include node 26 :muscle:

[EDIT]

I’m reconsidering to include the node 26 in the release 3.5 since it isn’t LTS, I would like to discuss better the non-LTS usage at meteor before move foward.

My opnion about it is that non-LTS versions have a very short active lifecycle (typically 6 months) and serve as a proving ground for the Node.js team, we would be held hostage to frequent breaking changes and regressions(maybe maybe). A second and most important argument is about the enterprise users, they sustains large applications in production that operates under strict security policies (IT compliance) that prohibit the deployment of non-LTS runtimes. If the source requires or optimizes for a Current version, it creates distrust. Companies will simply freeze framework updates, fragmenting the community and delaying the adoption of new major releases.

I would to patch the node 24 instead Node 26
