v1.17.0 — June 1, 2026

This release adds Node HTTP zstd decompression, hardens config and release workflows, and fixes authentication, header, proxy, and type-handling regressions.

🔒 Security Fixes

• Config Hardening: Guarded socketPath, params, and paramsSerializer reads with own-property checks to prevent inherited prototype values from affecting request behavior, including SSRF-sensitive paths. (#10901, #10922)
• Release Publishing: Switched the publish workflow to npm staged publishing for safer, auditable package releases with provenance. (#10926)

🚀 New Features

• HTTP Compression: Added Node HTTP adapter support for zstd response decompression, with transitional.advertiseZstdAcceptEncoding controlling whether zstd is advertised in Accept-Encoding. (#6792, #10920)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Authentication Handling: Restored Basic auth on same-origin Node redirects while continuing to strip credentials cross-origin, and aligned the fetch adapter with HTTP adapter behavior for URL-embedded Basic auth. (#10929, #10896)
• Proxy TLS: Preserved user httpsAgent TLS options when tunneling HTTPS requests through HTTP CONNECT proxies. (#10957)
• React Native FormData: Cleared default Content-Type for React Native FormData so multipart boundaries can be generated correctly. (#10898)
• Headers: Silently skipped empty or whitespace-only header names instead of throwing, matching parsed-header behavior and avoiding React Native response crashes. ()
