Node.js now includes OpenSSL 3.0, specifically [quictls/openssl](https://github.com/quictls/openssl) which provides QUIC support. With OpenSSL 3.0 FIPS support is again available using the new FIPS module. For details about how to build Node.js with FIPS support please see [BUILDING.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#building-nodejs-with-fips-compliant-openssl).
While OpenSSL 3.0 APIs should be mostly compatible with those provided by OpenSSL 1.1.1, we do anticipate some ecosystem impact due to tightened restrictions on the allowed algorithms and key sizes.
If you hit an `ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED` error in your application with Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re using is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer allowed by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A command-line option, `--openssl-legacy-provider`, has been added to revert to the legacy provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.
For details about all the features in OpenSSL 3.0 please see the [OpenSSL 3.0 release blog](https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/07/OpenSSL3.Final).

#### V8 9.5
The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.5. This release comes with additional supported types for the `Intl.DisplayNames` API and Extended `timeZoneName` options in the `Intl.DateTimeFormat` API.
You can read more details in the V8 9.5 release post - https://v8.dev/blog/v8-release-95.

#### Readline Promise API
The `readline` module provides an interface for reading data from a Readable
stream (such as `process.stdin`) one line at a time.
The following simple example illustrates the basic use of the `readline` module:
```mjs
import * as readline from 'node:readline/promises';
import { stdin as input, stdout as output } from 'process';
const answer = await rl.question('What do you think of Node.js? ');
console.log(`Thank you for your valuable feedback: ${answer}`);
rl.close();
```
