- The internal error route is served only during an error render and can no longer be reached from outside. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)
- Nuxt CLI v4 requires Node.js v22.21+, v24.11+ or v26+. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)
- This release requires Node.js ^22.22.3 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)
- The Nuxt CLI v4 drops nuxt init; project creation is supported through npm create nuxt@latest. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)

- Removed setResponseHeaders from nuxt/server; developers using this export must use an alternative. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)
- A template that never finishes compiling now fails the build instead of exiting successfully. (4.6.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0)
