## Overview

Recently shipped `deno desktop` for building native apps from web code, then added clipboard, menu, and window transparency APIs.

**`deno desktop` filled in native app pieces.** The clipboard API, menu items with checked, icon, and tooltip state, and window opacity and transparency controls landed across 2.9.2–2.9.6. HMR now runs through each framework's own dev server for Vite, Nuxt, and React Router, and `deno check --desktop` type-checks desktop code. The 2.9.0 launch covered Linux `.deb`/`.rpm` and Windows `.msi` installers, `--compress` self-extracting bundles, and deep-link schemes registered at bundle time.

**Node projects port over with fewer steps.** `deno install` reads npm, pnpm, yarn, and Bun lockfiles directly, and supplies a `node` on PATH when Node isn't installed. `deno add` gained `--unscoped`, `--no-save`, and `--save-optional`; `deno task --members` runs tasks in workspace members only. Compile targets `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`.

**Runtime and crypto expanded.** Blob/Body `textStream()`, an experimental QuickJS backend, raw ChaCha20 in `createCipheriv`, and `byteLength`/`length` parameters on `Buffer.indexOf`/`includes` all shipped. V8 upgraded to 150.2.0.

**CLI tooling rounded out.** `deno link`, `unlink`, `watch`, and `list` joined in 2.9.0, alongside configurable coverage thresholds and `deno bundle --declaration` for rolled-up `.d.ts` files.
