+## 2024-03-08, Version 21.7.1 (Current), @targos
+
+### Notable Changes
+
+This release reverts [#51389](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/51389), which
+landed in Node.js 21.7.0. It is a documented feature that `t.after()` hooks are
+run even if a test has no subtests. The hook can be used to clean up the test
+itself.
