Ongoing work is also being done to enable compilation cache support for `vm.CompileFunction`. + +Contributed by Joyee Cheung in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50137 + #### Other Notable Changes - \[[`3729e33358`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/3729e33358)] - **doc**: add H4ad to collaborators (Vinícius Lourenço) [#50217](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50217) @@ -34,9 +42,6 @@ Contributed by Geoffrey Booth in [#50096](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50 - \[[`5a52c518ef`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/5a52c518ef)] - **(SEMVER-MINOR)** **lib**: add `navigator.userAgent` (Yagiz Nizipli) [#50200](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50200) - \[[`789372a072`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/789372a072)] - **(SEMVER-MINOR)** **stream**: allow pass stream class to `stream.compose` (Alex Yang) [#50187](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50187) - \[[`f3a9ea0bc4`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/f3a9ea0bc4)] - **stream**: improve performance of readable stream reads (Raz Luvaton) [#50173](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50173) -- \[[`dda33c2bf1`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/dda33c2bf1)] - **vm**: reject in importModuleDynamically without --experimental-vm-modules (Joyee Cheung) [#50137](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50137) -- \[[`3999362c59`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/3999362c59)] - **vm**: use internal versions of compileFunction and Script (Joyee Cheung) [#50137](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50137) -- \[[`a54179f0e0`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/a54179f0e0)] - **vm**: unify host-defined option generation in vm.compileFunction (Joyee Cheung) [#50137](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/50137) ### Commits
