A new compatibility flag, spec_compliant_dispatch_exceptions, aligns the Workers runtime's event dispatch behavior with the DOM specification ↗︎. This flag becomes the default for all Workers with a compatibility date of 2026-09-15 or later. Previously, when an event listener threw an exception during dispatchEvent(), the runtime propagated the exception immediately and skipped all remaining listeners for that event. The spec instead requires that listener exceptions are reported (via the global
Several improvements bring the Workers runtime's Event, EventTarget, and related APIs closer to their web platform specifications. isTrusted is now correct for user-constructed events User-constructed event subclasses (new MessageEvent(...), new CustomEvent(...), new ErrorEvent(...), new CloseEvent(...)) now correctly report isTrusted as false. Previously, these incorrectly reported isTrusted as true. on<type> handlers fire in registration order Event handler attributes such as onmessage and
new AbortController(), AbortSignal.abort(), new WritableStream(), and request.signal no longer throw when used during module evaluation (that is, at the top level of your Worker module, outside of a request handler). Previously, these APIs required an active request context and would throw if called at the top level. // This now works — no error during module startup const controller = new AbortController(); export default { async fetch(request) { // The signal can be used across requests
Cloudflare Advanced Network Firewall Threat Intel Lists are now supported for accounts using Unified Routing mode. This feature requires a Cloudflare Advanced Network Firewall subscription. Support for additional features - Rate Limiting and Managed Rulesets - is planned. For the full list of current beta limitations, refer to Traffic steering beta limitations.

Exa's neural search engine grounds models in current information.ExaVercel AI GatewayAgent Marketplace Every model on AI Gateway can search with Exa through a , with no Exa account or key of your own required. Pass alongside your prompt and the gateway runs the search, hands the results back to the model, and keeps going until the model stops searching. You get one finished response with a synthesized answer rather than raw results to strea
