Node.js v24.15.0 was released on 2026-04-15, but the new version hasn't been pushed to the snap channel 24/stable as of 2026-05-04.
The build log for the package on Launchpad seems to indicate that the builds are failing. Not knowing anything about the build process, the build logs seem to be failing at the clone phase. These are the relevant lines indicating the failure:
Running repo phase...
Cloning into 'node'...
fatal: expected flush after ref listing

Build failed
Personally, I find the node snap to be the easiest way to install node on Ubuntu and keep it up to date. I appreciate that the node team provides the snap. I hope it continues to be supported in the future.
