wrangler@4.122.0

Minor Changes #15123 d0c976c Thanks @dependabot ! - Detect Node.js compatibility from the compatibility date, now that nodejs_compat is enabled by default As of compatibility date 2026-08-04 , workerd enables the nodejs_compat and nodejs_compat_v2 compatibility flags by default. Previously these tools only treated Node.js compatibility as enabled when one of those flags was listed explicitly, so a Worker on a compatibility date of 2026-08-04 or later without the flag would get Node.js APIs from the runtime but no Node.js polyfills from the bundler, and process.env could be substituted with an empty object at build time. They now resolve these flags the same way workerd does, and honour no_nodejs_compat to opt out. To keep Node.js compatibility switched off on a newer compatibility date, specify both no_nodejs_compat and no_nodejs_compat_v2 , since each flag has its own default. @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers needs nodejs_compat_v2 for its own test runner, so it continues to override a project that opts out of it. On a compatibility date that enables the flag anyway, it now drops the opt-out rather than adding the flag back, which workerd would reject — previously this stopped such a project from running any tests at all. wrangler types also no longer attributes its @types/node suggestion to "the nodejs_compat flag", which it can now make for Workers that do not set the flag at all. Patch Changes #15123 d0c976c Thanks @dependabot ! - Update dependencies of "miniflare", "wrangler" The following dependency versions have been updated: Dependency From To @cloudflare/workers-types ^5.20260804.1 ^5.20260811.1 workerd 1.20260804.1 1.20260811.1 #15148 0b82b15 Thanks @jamesopstad ! - Ignore a nodejs_compat compatibility flag that the compatibility date already enables workerd rejects a compatibility flag that its compatibility date enables by default, so a Worker configured with both a compatibility date of 2026-08-04 or later and nodejs_compat failed to start locally with "The compatibility flag nodejs_compat became the default as of 2026-08-04 so does not need to be specified anymore". The redundant nodejs_compat and nodejs_compat_v2 flags are now dropped when starting the runtime, which has no effect on the resulting Worker because the compatibility date enables both anyway. no_nodejs_compat and no_nodejs_compat_v2 still switch Node.js compatibility off, and a flag specified alongside its own opt-out is left alone so that workerd still reports those as contradictory. #15123 d0c976c Thanks @dependabot ! - Stop adding a redundant nodejs_compat flag to generated Wrangler configurations create-cloudflare and wrangler setup write today's date as the compatibility_date , and from 2026-08-04 that already enables nodejs_compat . Adding the flag as well made the generated project fail to start with "The compatibility flag nodejs_compat became the default as of 2026-08-04 so does not need to be specified anymore", so the flag is now only added for earlier compatibility dates. create-cloudflare also removes the flag when a template, or a framework's own scaffolder, already wrote it into a configuration that ends up using such a compatibility date, and still installs @types/node for these projects even though there is no longer a flag to detect them by. wrangler setup does the same for a wrangler.json(c) that is already in the project: it writes today's date over whatever date that configuration was written for, so a nodejs_compat it finds there is removed as part of writing the file. #15142 3b02915 Thanks @penalosa ! - Fix remote binding sessions reusing stale binding configurations Starting a new remote bindings session that reuses a Worker name no longer picks up the bindings from a previous session, which could cause Binding "..." not found errors. Updated dependencies [ d0c976c , d0c976c , 0b82b15 , d0c976c , 90dd5e5 ]: miniflare@5.20260811.0-alpha

Burnham to consider ban on disposable barbecues as wildfires rage in UK

PM to look at imposing restriction on devices in public spaces, though campaigners fear it does not go far enough The government will look at banning disposable barbecues as wildfires continue to rage across the country, prime minister Andy Burnham has said. Disposable barbecues have been the cause of a number of serious fires over the last few years, but campaigners were critical of the PM’s failure to link those fires more broadly to the climate crisis. Macclesfield, Cheshire, July 2026: A large woodland fire which was tackled by dozens of firefighters. Cheshire Fire and Rescue service said a discarded barbecue was the probable cause Three separate fires in one day around London, July 2026: In Feltham, six hectares of heathland close to houses were damaged. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has urged people not to use disposable barbecues and to properly extinguish cigarettes after crews tackled three grass fires on Wednesday. The Trossachs, Scotland, May 2025: Covered two hectares in the Glen Finglas region of the national park. Glen Finglas is the biggest Woodland Trust site in the UK. The BBQ understood to have sparked that fire was found with a burger still on the grill. Continue reading...

In Venice, it’s not politics as usual as film-makers aim to recapture our attention

As social media shrinks and distorts the EU’s crises, the Venice film festival is delivering politically forthright epics from directors such as Sergei Loznitsa and Alex Gibney • Don’t get This Is Europe delivered to your inbox? Sign up here Europe is in an economic crisis that, unlike the eurozone downturn at the beginning of the millennium, cannot be measured in ratings downgrades and borrowing costs. For metrics, try engagement depth and consumer trust instead. The unedifying spectacle of the European Union’s falling out over the Ceuta crisis looks like the latest symptom of Europe’s shrinking attention economy. When more than 70,000 people crossed over from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta at the start of the month, Rome hastily reintroduced air and sea border checks with Spain for one month; Madrid retaliated with spot-checks on travellers to Italy.
