Breaking Changes 🔥

Minimum Node.js 22 Version Raised to 22.22.0

The supported Node.js 22 range moved from >=22.17.1 to >=22.22.0. Node.js 24 and 26 are unaffected.

undici 8 requires Node.js >=22.19.0 and posthog-node 5 requires >=22.22.0, so the previous floor advertised a minimum those dependencies never supported. Running on 22.17.1-22.21.x was already outside what those packages declare; it is now outside engines.node as well.

Node.js 22 as a whole is deprecated and will be dropped in release-2027-01, so moving to Node.js 24 or 26 is worth more than chasing a 22.x patch.

Detect

Either of:

• The Node.js version running the server is 22.17.1-22.21.x. Check with node --version. An affected server emits You're using an unsupported version on boot.
• A Node.js 22 patch below 22.22.0 pinned in the project - check .nvmrc, FROM lines in Dockerfiles, and CI job images. Search for 22\.(1[789]|2[01])\..

Fix

Upgrade the Node.js runtime to 22.22.0 or newer, and update every pinned version alongside it: .nvmrc, the FROM tags in Dockerfiles, and CI job images. Upgrading to Node.js 24 or 26 instead also resolves it, and avoids a second upgrade when Node.js 22 support is dropped.

npm install on an affected version reports EBADENGINE for undici and posthog-node.

Deprecations ⚠️

Features 🎁

Smart Quotes Replace Apostrophes

Editors cannot type the typographic apostrophe (’) on Windows with a German keyboard. The layout only types the straight apostrophe (’). Livingdocs already replaced it on paste, and now Smart Quotes also replace it while typing, for example O'Brien → O’Brien.

To enable it, set apostrophe in textFormatting next to quotes and singleQuotes. Without it, typed apostrophes stay unchanged.

textFormatting: {
  smartQuotes: {enabled: true},
  quotes: ['„', '“'],
  singleQuotes: ['‚', '‘'],
  apostrophe: '’'
}

Smart Quotes now also support locales. You can set quotes, singleQuotes and apostrophe for each language. If a document is in that language, Smart Quotes use these values instead of the ones at the top level. Pasting already worked this way.

For more information, see the Smart Quotes documentation.
