ECMAScript Modules - Experimental Warning Removal

• module: remove experimental modules warning (Guy Bedford) #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

Multiple ArrayBuffers pointing to the same base address are no longer allowed by V8. This may impact native addons.

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades

• (SEMVER-MAJOR) build: update macos deployment target to 10.13 for 14.x (AshCripps) #32454
• (SEMVER-MAJOR) doc: update cross compiler machine for Linux armv7 (Richard Lau) #32812
• (SEMVER-MAJOR) doc: update Centos/RHEL releases use devtoolset-8 (Richard Lau) #32812
• (SEMVER-MAJOR) doc: remove SmartOS from official binaries (Richard Lau) #32812
• (SEMVER-MAJOR) win: block running on EOL Windows versions (João Reis) #31954

It is expected that there will be an ABI mismatch on ARM between the Node.js binary and native addons. Native addons are only broken if they
interact with std::shared_ptr. This is expected to be fixed in a later version of Node.js 14. - #30786

Update to V8 8.1

• (SEMVER-MAJOR) deps: update V8 to 8.1.307.20 (Matheus Marchini) #32116

2020-04-14, Version 13.13.0 (Current), @targos

Notable Changes

New file system APIs

• Added a new function, fs.readv (with sync and promisified versions). This
  function takes an array of ArrayBufferView elements and will write the data
  it reads sequentially to the buffers (Sk Sajidul Kadir) #32356.
• A new overload is available for fs.readSync, which allows to optionally pass
  any of the offset, length and position parameters (Lucas Holmquist) #32460.

Other changes

• dns:
  • Added the dns.ALL flag, that can be passed to dns.lookup() with dns.V4MAPPED
    to return resolved IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses (murgatroid99) #32183.
• http:
  • The default maximum HTTP header size was changed from 8KB to 16KB (rosaxny) #32520.
• n-api:
  • Calls to napi_call_threadsafe_function from the main thread can now return
    the napi_would_deadlock status in certain circumstances (Gabriel Schulhof) #32689.
• util:
  • Added a new maxStrLength option to util.inspect, to control the maximum
    length of printed strings. Its default value is Infinity (rosaxny) #32392.
• worker:
  • Added support for passing a transferList along with workerData to the
    Worker constructor (Juan José Arboleda) #32278.

2020-04-12, Version 10.20.1 'Dubnium' (LTS), @BethGriggs

Notable changes

Due to release process failures, Node.js v10.20.0 shipped with source
and header tarballs that did not properly match the final release
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.

2020-04-08, Version 10.20.0 'Dubnium' (LTS), @BethGriggs

macOS package notarization and a change in builder configuration

The macOS binaries for this release, and future 10.x releases, are now
being compiled on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) with Xcode 11 to support
package notarization, a requirement for installing .pkg files on macOS
10.15 and later. Previous builds of Node.js 10.x were compiled on macOS
10.10 (Yosemite) with a minimum deployment target of macOS 10.7 (Lion).
As binaries are still being compiled to support a minimum of macOS 10.7
(Lion) we do not anticipate this having a negative impact on Node.js
10.x users with older versions of macOS.

macOS package notarization and a change in builder configuration

The macOS binaries for this release, and future 13.x releases, are now being compiled on
macOS 10.15 (Catalina) with Xcode 11 to support package notarization, a requirement for
installing on .pkg files on macOS 10.15 and later. Previous builds of Node.js 13.x were
compiled on macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) with Xcode 10. As binaries are still being compiled
to support a minimum of macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) we do not anticipate this having a negative
impact on Node.js 13.x users with older versions of macOS.

Notable Changes

• build:
  • macOS package notarization (Rod Vagg) #31459
• deps:
  • upgrade npm to 6.14.4 (Ruy Adorno) #32495
  • update to uvwasi 0.0.6 (Colin Ihrig) #32309
  • upgrade to libuv 1.35.0 (Colin Ihrig) #32204
• lib:
  • add --disable-proto option to cli (Gus Caplan) #32279
• node_report:
  • move diagnostic reports to stable (Colin Ihrig) #32242
• worker:
  • allow URL in Worker constructor (Antoine du HAMEL) #31664
• util:
  • use a global symbol for util.promisify.custom (ExE Boss) #31672

2020-03-04, Version 13.10.1 (Current), @MylesBorins

Notable Changes

In Node.js 13.9.0 deps/zlib was switched to the chromium maintained implementation. This change
had the unforseen consequence of breaking building from the tarballs we release as we were too
aggressively removing unneccessary files from the deps/zlib folder. This release includes
a patch that ensures that individuals will once again be able to build Node.js from source.
