Notable changes
The legacy HTTP parser is runtime deprecated:
- The legacy HTTP parser, selected by the `--http-parser=legacy` command line
option, is deprecated with the pending End-of-Life of Node.js 10.x (where it
is the only HTTP parser implementation provided) at the end of April 2021. It
will now warn on use but otherwise continue to function and may be removed in
a future Node.js 12.x release.
- The default HTTP parser based on llhttp is not affected. By default it is
stricter than the now deprecated legacy HTTP parser. If interoperability with
HTTP implementations that send invalid HTTP headers is required, the HTTP
parser can be started in a less secure mode with the `--insecure-http-parser`
command line option.
ES Modules:
- ES Modules are now considered stable.
node-api:
- Updated to node-api version 8 and added an experimental API to allow
retrieval of the add-on file name.
New API's to control code coverage data collection:
- `v8.stopCoverage()` and `v8.takeCoverage()` have been added.
New API to monitor event loop utilization by Worker threads
- `worker.performance.eventLoopUtilization()` has been added.

Vulnerabilities fixed:
- CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)
Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in
its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,
node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly
allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method
does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller
as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to
corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other
exploits
- CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs
Affected versions of Node.js allow two copies of a header field in
a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields.
In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores
the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling
(https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html).
- CVE-2020-1971: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference (High)
This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through Node.js.

ECMAScript Modules - Experimental Warning Removal:
- module: remove experimental modules warning
(Guy Bedford) [#31974](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31974)
In Node.js 13 we removed the need to include the --experimental-modules
flag, but when running EcmaScript Modules in Node.js, this would still
result in a warning ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is
experimental.
As of Node.js 14 there is no longer this warning when using ESM in
Node.js. However, the ESM implementation in Node.js remains
experimental. As per our stability index: “The feature is not subject
to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes or
removal may occur in any future release.” Users should be cautious when
using the feature in production environments.
Please keep in mind that the implementation of ESM in Node.js differs
from the developer experience you might be familiar with. Most
transpilation workflows support features such as optional file
extensions or JSON modules that the Node.js ESM implementation does not
support. It is highly likely that modules from transpiled environments
will require a certain degree of refactoring to work in Node.js. It is
worth mentioning that many of our design decisions were made with two
primary goals. Spec compliance and Web Compatibility. It is our belief
that the current implementation offers a future proof model to
authoring ESM modules that paves the path to Universal JavaScript.
Please read more in our documentation.
The ESM implementation in Node.js is still experimental but we do believe
that we are getting very close to being able to call ESM in Node.js
“stable”. Removing the warning is a huge step in that direction.
New V8 ArrayBuffer API:
* **src**: migrate to new V8 ArrayBuffer API
(Thang Tran) [#30782](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30782)
Multiple ArrayBuffers pointing to the same base address are no longer

Notable changes:
Due to release process failures, Node.js v10.20.0 shipped with source

commit that was used to build the binaries. We recommend that Node.js
v10.20.0 not be used, particularly in any applications using native
add-ons or where compiling Node.js from source is involved.
Node.js v10.20.1 is a clean release with the correct sources and is
strongly recommended in place of v10.20.0.

Our documentation uses em dashes inconsistently. They are treated
inconsistently typographically too. (For example, they are sometimes
surrounded by spaces and sometimes not.) They are also often confused
with ordinary hyphens such as in the CHANGELOG, where they are
inadvertently mixed together in a single list. The difference is
not obvious in the raw markdown but is very noticeable when rendered,
appearing to be a typographical error (which it in fact is).
The em dash is never needed. There are always alternatives. Remove em
dashes entirely.

Notable changes:
Node.js 12.16.0 included 6 regressions that are being fixed in this
release
**Accidental Unflagging of Self Resolving Modules**:
12.16.0 included a large update to the ESM implementation. One of the
new features, Self Referential Modules, was accidentally released
without requiring the `--experimental-modules` flag. This release is
being made to appropriately flag the feature.
**Process Cleanup Changed Introduced WASM-Related Assertion**:
A change during Node.js process cleanup led to a crash in combination
with specific usage of WASM. This has been fixed by partially reverted
said change. A regression test and a full fix are being worked on and
will likely be included in future 12.x and 13.x releases.
**Use Largepages Runtime Option Introduced Linking Failure**:
A Semver-Minor change to introduce `--use-largepages` as a runtime
option introduced a linking failure. This had been fixed in master but
regressed as the fix has not yet gone out in a Current release. The
feature has been reverted, but will be able to reland with a fix in a
future Semver-Minor release.
**Async Hooks was Causing an Exception When Handling Errors**:
Changes in async hooks internals introduced a case where an internal
api call could be called with undefined causing a process to crash. The
change to async hooks was reverted. A regression test and fix has been
proposed and the change could re land in a future Semver-Patch release
if the regression is reliably fixed.
**New Enumerable Read-Only Property on EventEmitter breaks @types/extend**
A new property for enumerating events was added to the EventEmitter
class. This broke existing code that was using the `@types/extend`
module for extending classses as `@types/extend` was attemping to write
over the existing field which the new change made read-only. As this is
the first property on EventEmitter that is read-only this feature could
be considered Semver-Major. The new feature has been reverted but could
re land in a future Semver-Minor release if a non breaking way of
applying it is found.
**Exceptions in the HTTP parser were not emitting an uncaughtException**
A refactoring to Node.js interanls resulted in a bug where errors in
the HTTP parser were not being emitted by
`process.on('uncaughtException')`. The fix to this bug has been
included in this release.

Ruben Bridgewater [#30929](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30929).
Advanced serialization for IPC
The `child_process` and `cluster` modules now support a `serialization` option
to change the serialization mechanism used for IPC. The option can have one of
two values:
* `'json'` (default): `JSON.stringify()` and `JSON.parse()` are used. This is
how message serialization was done before.
* `'advanced'`: The serialization API of the `v8` module is used. It is based on
the HTML structured clone algorithm.

option, which can have one of two values:
* `'der'` (default): DER-encoded ASN.1 signature structure encoding `(r, s)`.
* `'ieee-p1363'`: Signature format `r || s` as proposed in IEEE-P1363.

Gerhard Stoebich [#30932](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30932).
___
Using `async` functions with event handlers is problematic, because it
can lead to an unhandled rejection in case of a thrown exception.
The experimental `captureRejections` option in the `EventEmitter` constructor or
the global setting change this behavior, installing a
`.then(undefined, handler)` handler on the `Promise`. This handler routes the
exception asynchronously to the `Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')` method if there
is one, or to the `'error'` event handler if there is none.
Setting `EventEmitter.captureRejections = true` will change the default for all
new instances of `EventEmitter`.
This is an experimental feature.
Matteo Collina [#27867](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27867).
Performance Hooks are no longer experimental
The `perf_hooks` module is now considered a stable API.

Introduction of experimental WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) support
A new core module, `wasi`, is introduced to provide an implementation of the
[WebAssembly System Interface](https://wasi.dev/) specification.
WASI gives sandboxed WebAssembly applications access to the
underlying operating system via a collection of POSIX-like functions.
This is an experimental feature.

This is a security release.
Vulnerabilities fixed:
* **CVE-2019-15606**:
HTTP header values do not have trailing OWS trimmed.
* **CVE-2019-15605**:
HTTP request smuggling using malformed Transfer-Encoding header.
* **CVE-2019-15604**:
Remotely trigger an assertion on a TLS server with a malformed
certificate string.
Also, HTTP parsing is more strict to be more secure. Since this may
cause problems in interoperability with some non-conformant HTTP
implementations, it is possible to disable the strict checks with the
`--insecure-http-parser` command line flag, or the `insecureHTTPParser`
http option. Using the insecure HTTP parser should be avoided.

Notable changes:
* Experimental support for building Node.js with Python 3 is improved.
* ICU time zone data is updated to version 2019c. This fixes the date
offset in Brazil.
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/30352
Notable changes:
* assert:
* If the validation function passed to `assert.throws()` or
`assert.rejects()` returns a value other than `true`, an assertion
error will be thrown instead of the original error to highlight the
programming mistake (Ruben Bridgewater).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263
* If a constructor function is passed to validate the instance of
errors thrown in `assert.throws()` or `assert.reject()`, an
assertion error will be thrown instead of the original error
(Ruben Bridgewater).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263
* build:
* Node.js releases are now built with default full-icu support. This
means that all locales supported by ICU are now included and
Intl-related APIs may return different values than before
(Richard Lau).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29887
* The minimum Xcode version supported for macOS was increased to 10.
It is still possible to build Node.js with Xcode 8 but this may no
longer be the case in a future v13.x release (Michael Dawson).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29622
* child_process:
* `ChildProcess._channel` (DEP0129) is now a Runtime deprecation
(cjihrig).

emits a runtime deprecation warning. The methods are supposed to be
internal and should not be called by user code (Robert Nagy).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29061
* `fs.read/write`, `fs.readSync/writeSync` and `fd.read/write` now
accept any safe integer as their `offset` parameter. The value of
`offset` is also no longer coerced, so a valid type must be passed
to the functions (Zach Bjornson).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26572
* http:
* Aborted requests no longer emit the `end` or `error` events after
`aborted` (Robert Nagy).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27984https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20077

string value, use `error.code` instead (Joyee Cheung).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28140
* module:
* `module.createRequireFromPath()` is deprecated. Use
`module.createRequire()` instead (cjihrig).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27951
* src:
* Changing the value of `process.env.TZ` will now clear the tz cache.
This affects the default time zone used by methods such as
`Date.prototype.toString` (Ben Noordhuis).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20026
* stream:
* The timing and behavior of streams was consolidated for a number of
edge cases. Please look at the individual commits below for more
information.

This is a security release.
Notable changes:
Node.js, as well as many other implementations of HTTP/2, have been
found vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks.
See https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-002.md
for more information.
Vulnerabilities fixed:
* CVE-2019-9511 “Data Dribble”: The attacker requests a large amount of
data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate
window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data
in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued,
this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a
denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9512 “Ping Flood”: The attacker sends continual pings to an
HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses.
Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume
excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of
service.
* CVE-2019-9513 “Resource Loop”: The attacker creates multiple request
streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way
that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume
excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9514 “Reset Flood”: The attacker opens a number of streams
and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a
stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer
queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU,or
both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9515 “Settings Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of
SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer
reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS
frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how
efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory,
or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9516 “0-Length Headers Leak”: The attacker sends a stream of
headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value,
optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some
implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the
allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess
memory, potentially leading to a denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9517 “Internal Data Buffering”: The attacker opens the HTTP/2
window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave
the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write (many of) the
bytes on the wire. The attacker then sends a stream of requests for a
large response object. Depending on how the servers queue the
responses, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both, potentially
leading to a denial of service.
* CVE-2019-9518 “Empty Frames Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of
frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These
frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or PUSH_PROMISE. The
peer spends time processing each frame disproportionate to attack
bandwidth. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a
denial of service. (Discovered by Piotr Sikora of Google)

(Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27704.
* inspector:
* Added an experimental `--heap-prof` flag to start the V8 heap
profiler on startup and write the heap profile to disk before exit
(Joyee Cheung) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27596.
* stream:
* The `readable.unshift()` method now correctly converts strings to

* Updated llhttp to 1.1.3. This fixes a bug that made Node.js' HTTP
parser refuse any request URL that contained the "|" (vertical bar)
character. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27595
* tls:
* Added an `enableTrace()` method to `TLSSocket` and an `enableTrace`
option to `tls.createServer()`. When enabled, TSL packet trace
information is written to `stderr`. This can be used to debug TLS
connection problems. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27376
* cli:
* Added a `--trace-tls` command-line flag that enables tracing of TLS
connections without the need to modify existing application code.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497
* Added a `--cpu-prof-interval` command-line flag. It can be used to
specify the sampling interval for the CPU profiles generated by
`--cpu-prof`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27535
* module:
* Added the `createRequire()` method. It allows to create a require
function from a file URL object, a file URL string or an absolute
path string. The existing `createRequireFromPath()` method is now
deprecated https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27405.
* Throw on `require('./path.mjs')`. This is technically a breaking
change that should have landed with Node.js 12.0.0. It is necessary
to have this to keep the possibility for a future minor version to
load ES Modules with the require function.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27417

HTTP Denial of Service" (CVE-2018-12122). Node.js 6.15.0 misapplies the headers
timeout to an entire keep-alive HTTP session, resulting in prematurely
disconnected sockets.

This release marks the transition of Node.js 10.x into Long Term
Support (LTS) with the codename 'Dubnium'. The 10.x release line
now moves in to "Active LTS" and will remain so until April 2020.
After that time it will move in to "Maintenance" until end of
life in April 2021.
Notable Changes:
This release only includes minimal changes necessary to fix known
regressions prior to LTS.
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23831
Notable changes:
* assert
* The diff output is now a tiny bit improved by sorting object
properties when inspecting the values that are compared with each
other. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* cli
* The options parser now normalizes `_` to `-` in all multi-word
command-line flags, e.g. `--no_warnings` has the same effect as
`--no-warnings`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23020
* Added bash completion for the `node` binary. To generate a bash
completion script, run `node --completion-bash`. The output can be
saved to a file which can be sourced to enable completion.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20713
* crypto
* Added support for PEM-level encryption.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23151
* Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods
`crypto.generateKeyPair` and `crypto.generateKeyPairSync` can be
used to generate public and private key pairs. The API supports
RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22660
* fs
* Added a `recursive` option to `fs.mkdir` and `fs.mkdirSync`. If
this option is set to true, non-existing parent folders will be
automatically created. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21875
* http2
* Added a `'ping'` event to `Http2Session` that is emitted whenever a
non-ack `PING` is received.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23009
* Added support for the `ORIGIN` frame.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22956
* Updated nghttp2 to 1.34.0. This adds RFC 8441 extended connect
protocol support to allow use of WebSockets over HTTP/2.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23284
* module
* Added `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`. This new method can
be used to create a custom require function that will resolve
modules relative to the filename path.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19360
* process
* Added a `'multipleResolves'` process event that is emitted whenever
a `Promise` is attempted to be resolved multiple times, e.g. if the
`resolve` and `reject` functions are both called in a `Promise`
executor. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22218
* url
* Added `url.fileURLToPath(url)` and `url.pathToFileURL(path)`. These
methods can be used to correctly convert between file: URLs and
absolute paths. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22506
* util
* Added the `sorted` option to `util.inspect()`. If set to `true`,
all properties of an object and Set and Map entries will be sorted
in the returned string. If set to a function, it is used as a
compare function. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* The `util.instpect.custom` symbol is now defined in the global
symbol registry as `Symbol.for('nodejs.util.inspect.custom')`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20857
* Added support for `BigInt` numbers in `util.format()`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22097
* V8 API
* A number of V8 C++ APIs have been marked as deprecated since they
have been removed in the upstream repository. Replacement APIs
are added where necessary. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23159
* Windows
* The Windows msi installer now provides an option to automatically
install the tools required to build native modules.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22645
* Workers
* Debugging support for Workers using the DevTools protocol has been
implemented. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21364

It was inconsistent to keep some of the EOL entries in the table while
removing others (v5.x, v7.x) -- this commit takes care of that.
Instead, release status is hinted in the branch list above, highlighting
two main branches -- Current and Active LTS.
Also update the link to the Release repo.
