v2.1.0+node25.8.2 — Node.js 25.8.2

[Amnoor]

Runtime Node v2.1.0+node25.8.2

Secure, Distroless, Multi-Arch Node.js Runtime. Built from Scratch.

This is the first minor release on the Node.js 25 maintenance line. The Node.js runtime is upgraded from 25.8.1 to 25.8.2. The image composition, distroless guarantee, runtime defaults, and binary path are all unchanged from v2.0.3+node25.8.1. This release also corrects version tag placeholder formatting in README.md and updates the Node.js version bump example in CONTRIBUTING.md.

What's New

• Updated FROM node:25.8.1-alpine3.23 AS builder to FROM node:25.8.2-alpine3.23 AS builder in the Dockerfile builder stage, upgrading the Node.js runtime extracted into the final scratch image from 25.8.1 to 25.8.2.
• Corrected the Docker Hub versioned pull example, the GHCR versioned pull example, and the versioned FROM line in README.md to use v<major>.<minor>.<patch>-node<node_version> as the placeholder format, also fixing a pre-existing typo (v<amojor> → v<major>) in the FROM example.
• Updated the Node.js Version Bumps section example Alpine image tag in CONTRIBUTING.md from node:25.8.1-alpine3.23 to node:25.8.2-alpine3.23.

---

Versioning

Tags follow the pattern v<image_semver>+node<node_version>. The latest tag tracks the most recent stable release on main and is not updated by maintenance releases.

---

Immutable Tag
