Fixed fs.constants.O_DIRECTORY, O_NOFOLLOW and O_DIRECT holding x86 values on Linux arm64 and armv7l, which made opening a directory fail with EINVAL, and made require('trace_events') behave the same on cross-compiled builds as on native ones. #53318 ^{(Also in 43, 44, 45)}
Fixed a crash when calling node:wasi functions in optimized code. #53267 ^{(Also in 43, 44, 45)}
Fixed a regression where a window created with a custom title can show an empty title after using back/forward navigation. #53217 ^{(Also in 43, 44)}
Fixed desktopCapturer thumbnail generation and premature portal timeout on Linux with Wayland. #51784 ^{(Also in 43)}
Fixed region-qualified --lang values such as de-DE loading no locale resources on macOS, which left localized strings empty and could crash WebAuthn Touch ID prompts. #53187 ^{(Also in 43, 44)}
Fixed the GPU process being terminated in AppX/MSIX packaged apps on Windows when WebGPU fell back to SwiftShader. #53199 ^{(Also in 43, 44)}
