+Type: Documentation-only
+
+Instantiating classes without the `new` qualifier exported by the `node:zlib` module is deprecated.
+It is recommended to use the new qualifier instead. This applies to all Zlib classes such as `Deflate`,
+`DeflateRaw`, `Gunzip`, `Inflate`, `InflateRaw`, `Unzip`, and `Zlib`.
