Please Explain in Detail...

The release notes for 4.0 at https://github.com/rollup/rollup/releases/tag/v4.0.0 contain:

The NodeJS build now relies on an optional native binary; for unsupported platforms, users can use the @rollup/wasm-node package that has the same interface as Rollup but relies on WASM artifacts (#5073)

Please adjust the release notes and mention which is this optional native binary.

Moreover, the word “relies” implies for me that the binary (or a substitute for it) must be present, while the wording “optional native binary” means that the binary can be absent without substitution.

Your Proposal for Changes

Consider wording like:

NodeJS build now requires ABC, either as native binary, or as WASM artifact.
