🥳 New Kitten Release

Housekeeping:

• Updated runtime version to Node version 22.18.0 (latest LTS).

• Removed --experimental-global-customevent in node launch command (as CustomEvent is no longer behing the CLI flag since Node v19.0.0)

• Renamed --experimental-loader flag to --loader as the experimental prefix is no longer required.

Enjoy!

@aral I was just wondering to my myself the other day how the small web was doing. Congrats

@ryanprior I’ve been grating my head against the wall to get Markdown support working seamlessly. I think I’m there. After this it’s back to work on the more visible aspects and preparing for Web Numbers support in time for a wider release next year :)

Ah, and also, forgot to mention this change:

Improved:

• Debugging your Kitten app is now easier when you run it using `INSPECT=true kitten …` as the Node runtime is launched using the `--inspect-brk` tag instead of the `--inspect` tag. This means that execution will wait for your debugger (e.g., Chromium’s DevTools at `chrome://inspect`, etc.) to connect before starting the server. This makes it possible to hit breakpoints that might previously have been impossible to reach as they occured before you had a chance to run the debugger.
