Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

deno install -g now requires '--' to separate script arguments from the package name/URL. This change was made to support installing multiple packages in a single command.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    Update global script installation commands to use '--' before arguments: 'deno install -g <pkg> -- <args>'.
  2. 2
    Review lifecycle script permissions using the new 'deno approve-scripts' command if using npm packages with build steps.

Release Summary

Deno 2.6 introduces 'deno x' for running package binaries, stabilizes BroadcastChannel, and upgrades to V8 14.2. It also features significant Node.js compatibility enhancements and a breaking change to the 'deno install -g' argument syntax.
