Bun 1.4
Bun 1.4 adds 1,517 Node.js tests and fixes more than 2,900 issues while moving the runtime's implementation from Zig to Rust. Bun reports fivefold lower idle CPU use, up to 35% lower memory use, and 50% faster Linux startup. Several core Node modules now pass 97% to 100% of Node's own tests, although Bun still stops short of claiming complete compatibility. The release adds image, WebView, markdown, cron, terminal, parallel script and test, audit-fix, dedupe, and prune APIs. Production teams should treat it as a broad runtime upgrade and validate native modules, build tools, and operational assumptions before switching.
