 - **glob:** Patterns with a path prefix (e.g. `.dir/**/*.txt` or `src/**/*.ts`) now work when used without an explicit `cwd`; the prefix is used as the search root, matching Node.js behavior.
 - **glob:** Recursive pattern `**/*.ext` with `cwd` now correctly recurses into subdirectories.
+- **readFile:** Async `readFile(path, encoding)` with string as second argument (e.g. `readFile(path, 'utf-8')`) now returns a decoded string instead of Buffer, matching Node.js and fixing issue #16.
