They didn't ship 19 regressions over 2 weeks. "Merged" doesn't mean "shipped". Their customers have probably seen none of those because they've all been fixed.

Such a terribly bad faith take. I feel upset reading this more than I should have.

On what basis do you say their customers probably didn't see them? I'm not intimately familiar with Bun, but I work with people who try to do software development in this way, and they routinely ship regressions to customers. They believe that this is because we're not AI-enabled enough, and if only we had the right loops they'd stop shipping bugs; I think that it's not about the loops and the bugs reflect their lack of understanding about what they're trying to do.
They told you, can’t you read? All 19 regressions were fixed before release.
The source article says no such thing and at least one of them (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/31188) seems to have been publicly reported.
It was fixed on May 21st, which is 6 days after it was merged to main, and is 6.5 weeks before the release.
Because people cannot try open source software by building it themselves before release, right? No?
Dude, just give up and admit you misread the point in the most negative bad faith way possible.
Yeah, it sounds more like they found 19 regressions after the migration so far.
