Notable changes:
* deps:
* 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
* repl:
* The REPL now supports multi-line statements using `BigInt` literals
as well as public and private class fields and methods.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27400
* The REPL now supports tab autocompletion of file paths with `fs`
methods. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26648
* meta:
* Added Christian Clauss (https://github.com/cclauss) to
collaborators. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27554

This is an extremely important part of the ESM implementation
that should have been unflagged as a breaking change in v12.0.0
to allow us to unflag ESM in Node.js 12.x before LTS. Assuming we
can get consensus on this behavior I would argue that this Semver-Major
behavior change could be viewed as a Semver-Patch fix in v12.0.1

We currently ignore invalid `main` entries in package.json files.
This does not seem to be very user friendly as it's certainly an
error if the `main` entry is not a valid file name. So instead of
trying to resolve the file otherwise, throw an error immediately to
improve the user experience.
To keep it backwards compatible `index.js` files in the same directory
as the `package.json` will continue to be resolved instead but that
behavior is now deprecated.

* 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

https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23151
* Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods
`crypto.generateKeyPair` and `crypto.generateKeyPairSync` can be

RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22660

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
