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
* The public `inspector` module is now enabled in Workers.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22769
* Added new collaborators:
