Node-RED 5.0.9 brings a long list of fixes from the community, as well as a couple new features in the Explorer sidebar.

The Explorer sidebar now shows the change/error badges for each node and flow:  
You can also reorder your flows by dragging them around in the explorer.

The monaco editor has better support for HTML content that has mixed script and css blocks - applying the right linting, auto-complete and styling for the different content types.

We have also published 4.1.17 that includes an important security fix (also in 5.0.9) for the Projects feature.

My bad, I read too fast

Thanks

_Hello_

_Thanks for the update_

_How is this regarding the recent raised critical security issues with Node.js ?_  
_I believe the bare NodeRed is not directly impacted as you don't provide the Node.js so it's the installer responsibility to update the Node.js_

_But what about the docker images where Node.js comes bundled in ?_

_Thanks_
