Node.js 26.11.1 released with three reverts to documentation tooling

The Current release, dated 7 October 2026, lists only three changes, all undoing earlier documentation work.

In brief
  • Node.js 26.11.1 is a Current release dated 7 October 2026. Its notes list three reverts, all in documentation tooling.
  • The page gives no reason for the reverts and lists no other changes.

The Node.js project published version 26.11.1 on 7 October 2026. It is marked as a Current release, and the page names Antoine du Hamel (@aduh95) as the releaser. The notes list three changes, and each one undoes an earlier change. All three involve documentation tooling. One undoes a setting that controlled how much output the doc-kit tool prints. One undoes the move of the docs to a redesign. One undoes an update of four packages in the docs tools folder. Downloads are posted for Windows, macOS, Linux and AIX.

The page does not say why the three changes were reverted. It does not say whether anything else changed in this version. It lists no other fixes or new features, and it does not mention security fixes. Nothing on the page describes any effect on how Node.js programs run.

For teams that run or ship software on Node.js, the change list is short and easy to check. Anyone tracking the Current line can read the three entries before deciding when to update.
