Deno 1.46 brings simplified CLI, multithreaded servers, and improved Node.js compatibility

Deno, the modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, has unveiled its final 1.x release with version 1.46. Aimed at enhancing the JavaScript development experience, Deno offers native TypeScript support, an integrated toolchain, web standard API support, and secure-by-default code execution.

Version 1.46 introduces several key features, including a simplified CLI with shorter invocations and shorthand permission flags. It also enables multithreaded web servers using deno serve --parallel and significantly improves Node.js & npm compatibility, adding support for libraries such as Playwright, Google Cloud, MySQL2, PGlite, and SSH2.

Additional updates in Deno 1.46 enhance dependency management with deno remove and deno clean, introduce code signing for deno compile to improve software portability, and expand deno fmt to support HTML, CSS, YAML, and more.
