wrangler@4.100.0
Minor Changes #14119 2047a32 Thanks @tahmid-23 ! - Serve local R2 bucket objects publicly via the dev server When running wrangler dev locally, objects in each local R2 binding are now reachable under /cdn-cgi/local/r2/public/ / on the existing dev server, simulating a public bucket. The is the bucket's bucket_name when set, otherwise its binding . Bindings configured with remote: true are not exposed. #14202 e8561c2 Thanks @jamesopstad ! - Add experimental --x-new-config flag for authoring config in TypeScript This is an experimental, opt-in feature. When enabled, wrangler dev , wrangler build , wrangler deploy , wrangler versions upload , and wrangler versions deploy load the Worker's configuration from a cloudflare.config.ts file instead of wrangler.json / wrangler.jsonc / wrangler.toml . Additionally, an optional wrangler.config.ts file can be provided for Wrangler-specific dev/build configuration. cloudflare.config.ts (required) — Worker runtime configuration (bindings, triggers, observability, placement, limits, compatibility, routes, etc.). Authored via defineWorker from wrangler/experimental-config . wrangler.config.ts (optional) — Tooling / bundling / dev-server configuration ( noBundle , minify , alias , define , rules , tsconfig , build , dev , assetsDirectory , etc.). Authored via defineWranglerConfig from wrangler/experimental-config . Per-environment configuration is via ctx.mode branching inside the function form of either file. Example cloudflare.config.ts : ({ name: "my-worker", entrypoint, compatibilityDate: "2026-05-18", env: { MY_KV: bindings.kv(), MY_TEXT: bindings.text(`The mode is ${ctx.mode}`), }, }));"> import { defineWorker , bindings } from "wrangler/experimental-config" ; import * as entrypoint from "./src/index.ts" with { type : "cf-worker" } ; export default defineWorker ( ( ctx ) => ( { name : "my-worker" , entrypoint , compatibilityDate : "2026-05-18" , env : { MY_KV : bindings . kv ( ) , MY_TEXT : bindings . text ( `The mode is ${ ctx . mode } ` ) , } , } ) ) ; Example wrangler.config.ts : import { defineWranglerConfig } from "wrangler/experimental-config" ; export default defineWranglerConfig ( { minify : true , assetsDirectory : "./public" , } ) ; Because this is experimental, the flag, the config formats, and the wrangler/experimental-config exports may change in any release. Patch Changes #14185 98c9afe Thanks @penalosa ! - Use the shared env-credential resolver from @cloudflare/workers-auth No user-facing behaviour change. Credential resolution order (global API key + email → CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN → stored OAuth token) is preserved. #14184 e305126 Thanks @penalosa ! - Add an experimental cf-wrangler delegate entrypoint for projects that can't use @cloudflare/vite-plugin (service workers, old compatibility dates, Python, Rust, etc.). cf-wrangler dev starts the same local dev server as wrangler dev — it sits directly on wrangler's internal dev server, so the bundling and runtime behaviour are identical — but exposes a deliberately narrow CLI surface ( --mode , --port , --host , --local ) for a parent CLI to delegate to, and other dev server config options are read from the wrangler config file. This replaces the separate @cloudflare/wrangler-bundler package. This is an internal integration point and is not intended to be run directly by users. #14246 f3990b2 Thanks @dependabot ! - Update dependencies of "miniflare", "wrangler" The following dependency versions have been updated: Dependency From To workerd 1.20260609.1 1.20260610.1 #14256 4597f08 Thanks @dependabot ! - Update dependencies of "miniflare", "wrangler" The following dependency versions have been updated: Dependency From To workerd 1.20260610.1 1.20260611.1 #14243 25722ac Thanks @com6056 ! - Fix a memory leak that could make long-running headless wrangler dev sessions unresponsive Long-running wrangler dev sessions with no DevTools attached (for example using the containers feature under sustained traffic) could gradually consume unbounded memory and eventually stop accepting connections. The inspector proxy now only enables network tracking while a DevTools client is connected, so the buildup no longer happens. Interactive debugging is unaffected. Fixes #14191 . #14230 41f75c0 Thanks @dario-piotrowicz ! - Improve D1 error messages for missing or conflicting options Error messages for d1 execute , d1 export , d1 time-travel restore , and d1 insights now clearly state which option is missing or conflicting, explain why the combination is invalid, and suggest how to fix the issue. Additionally, duration validation errors in d1 insights are now thrown as UserError instead of plain Error , ensuring they are displayed cleanly to users rather than as unexpected crashes. #14213 10b5538 Thanks @dario-piotrowicz ! - Improve authentication error messages with specific failure reasons When authentication fails (e.g. during wrangler dev --remote or when using remote bindings), the error message now explains exactly what went wrong -- whether no credentials were found, the token expired, or the environment is non-interactive -- and lists actionable steps to fix it, including a wrangler whoami tip. Previously, auth failures could produce multiple confusing errors (e.g. "Failed to fetch auth token: 400 Bad Request" followed by "Failed to start the remote proxy session"). Now a single, clear error is shown. #14233 818c105 Thanks @dario-piotrowicz ! - Improve R2 Sippy error messages Now error messages in wrangler r2 bucket sippy follow a consistent pattern: they describe what is missing, name the exact --flag to use, and provide context (e.g. example values, links to the dashboard). Previously, many errors said only "Error: must provide --flag." with no guidance on what the flag does or how to obtain the value. #14259 2ae6099 Thanks @emily-shen ! - Move worker build step earlier in deploy/upload step, before upload specific config validation Updated dependencies [ f3990b2 , 4597f08 , 2047a32 ]: miniflare@4.20260611.0
