Deno 2.0 has been released, focusing on scalability and Node.js/npm compatibility. Key changes include support for Node.js built-in modules via the node: prefix, CommonJS support, npm package usage via the npm: specifier, package.json and node_modules compatibility, and the process global variable. Deno 2.0 also introduces a long-term support (LTS) channel starting with v2.1.0, providing six months of bug fix and critical performance support. These changes allow gradual migration from Node.js to Deno while preserving access to the npm ecosystem, and enable popular frameworks like Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix, and Nuxt to run under Deno.
