Refs: #61864
semver-majorPRs that contain breaking changes and should be released in the next major version.
PR. Not for backporting!
Situation
The Supported toolchains section of the
BUILDING.mddocument specifies:and this includes the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) which is out of support since 2025-10-14.
Change
Update the Supported toolchains section of the
BUILDING.mddocument to remove the Windows 10 SDK:Impact should be minimal, since the Windows 11 SDK "can target Windows 11, version 25H2, in addition to previous Windows releases." See also Windows SDK System requirements.
The is however a
semver-majorchange that applies only to themainbranch and may not be backported to existing release lines. It is intended for use in the upcoming Node.js 26.x release only.(PR #61864 is the non-
semver-majorPR to flow into v25.x and be backported to v24.x.)
