v4.4.1lowApr 29, 2026
v4.4.1
This release focuses on bug fixes and improvements, including restoring optional undefined expectations and rejecting tuple holes before required defaults.
view source on github->v4.4.0highbreakingfeatureApr 29, 2026
v4.4.0
This release focuses on correctness and soundness fixes, making Zod stricter in several areas. It includes important updates to tuple defaults, object property handling, and JSON schema generation.
release_signals
-Tuple parsing now more accurately reflects defaults, optional tails, and explicit `undefined`, which may affect code relying on previous behavior
-Properties with `z.undefined()` are now treated as required, which may break code that previously treated them as optional
-The `.merge()` method now throws when the receiver has refinements, requiring changes in object composition logic
-JSON Schema conversion through `z.toJSONSchema()` now strips redundant `id` fields from `$defs` entries, which may affect consumers reading those fields directly
-Base64 validation now rejects whitespace instead of allowing `atob()`-style whitespace stripping, which may break code relying on previous behavior
+Tuple defaults now materialize output values correctly
+Required object properties with `z.undefined()` are now treated correctly
+Safer `.merge()` behavior with refinements
+JSON Schema `$defs` entries no longer include redundant `id`
+String validators are stricter, rejecting whitespace in base64 validation
v4.3.6lowfeatureJan 22, 2026
v4.3.6
This release focuses on minor fixes and improvements, including typo corrections, workflow cleanup, and enhancements to numeric key handling.
release_signals
