Description

Node.js 27 is added to the CONTRIBUTING > Version Updates document section to provide a statement of direction.

The statement documents the intention to publish Docker images based on Node.js 27 Alpha releases.

The exact readiness for releasing node images based on Node.js 27 Alpha releases is left open for the possibility of releasing with the first Alpha release or with a later Alpha release. This will need to be determined after preparation work has been done.

Motivation and Context

The blog post Evolving the Node.js Release Schedule, March 10, 2026, announced the plan to release Node.js 27 Alpha in Oct 2026, followed by Node.js 27.0.0 in April 2027 and included the schedule information for the new model that Node.js 27 is planning to follow. schedule.json now includes concrete milestones:

MilestoneDate
Alpha begin2026-10-28
Start (27.0.0)2027-04-22
Enters LTS2027-10-20
End of Life2030-04-30

According to the blog post, Alpha versioning follows SemVer prerelease format (e.g., 27.0.0-alpha.1) and semver-major changes are allowed during this phase.

The repo is not yet set up to deal with the release of Node.js 27 Alpha versions.

Further release details for the future Node.js 27 release line can be expected from the Node.js Releasers Team
as the current descriptions are updated and replaced.

Closing, as there has been no progress in nodejs/Release#1160 during the last month.

We may just have to wait until Node.js preparations are defined well enough to make plans.

The alpha tag proposal nodejs/node#63135 has been open since May 2026 and has not reached any conclusion.

The exact readiness for releasing node images based on Node.js 27 Alpha releases is left open for the possibility of releasing with the first Alpha release or with a later Alpha release. This will need to be determined after preparation work has been done.

Motivation and Context

The blog post Evolving the Node.js Release Schedule, March 10, 2026, announced the plan to release Node.js 27 Alpha in Oct 2026, followed by Node.js 27.0.0 in April 2027 and included the schedule information for the new model that Node.js 27 is planning to follow. schedule.json now includes concrete milestones:

MilestoneDate
Alpha begin2026-10-28
Start (27.0.0)2027-04-22
Enters LTS2027-10-20
End of Life2030-04-30

According to the blog post, Alpha versioning follows SemVer prerelease format (e.g., 27.0.0-alpha.1) and semver-major changes are allowed during this phase.

The repo is not yet set up to deal with the release of Node.js 27 Alpha versions.

Further release details for the future Node.js 27 release line can be expected from the Node.js Releasers Team
as the current descriptions are updated and replaced.

It may be difficult to make progress on this PR until the releasers team adds some detail, such as requested in nodejs/Release#1160

Closing, as there has been no progress in nodejs/Release#1160 during the last month.

We may just have to wait until Node.js preparations are defined well enough to make plans.

The alpha tag proposal nodejs/node#63135 has been open since May 2026 and has not reached any conclusion.
