Some core modules can be loaded with or without the `node:` prefix.
Using the prefix disambiguates which specifiers refer to core modules.
This commit updates the docs to use the prefix everywhere a core module
is referenced.

- (SEMVER-MAJOR) tls: move tls.parseCertString to end-of-life
(Tobias Nießen) (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41479)
fetch (experimental):
An experimental fetch API is available on the global scope by default.
The implementation is based upon https://undici.nodejs.org/#/,
an HTTP/1.1 client written for Node.js by contributors to the project.
Through this addition, the following globals are made available: `fetch`
, `FormData`, `Headers`, `Request`, `Response`.
Disable this API with the `--no-experimental-fetch` command-line flag.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41811.
HTTP Timeouts:
`server.headersTimeout`, which limits the amount of time the parser will
wait to receive the complete HTTP headers, is now set to `60000` (60
seconds) by default.
`server.requestTimeout`, which sets the timeout value in milliseconds
for receiving the entire request from the client, is now set to `300000`
(5 minutes) by default.
If these timeouts expire, the server responds with status 408 without
forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the
connection.
Both timeouts must be set to a non-zero value to protect against
potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed
without a reverse proxy in front.
Contributed by Paolo Insogna in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41263.
Test Runner module (experimental):
The `node:test` module facilitates the creation of JavaScript tests that
report results in TAP format. This module is only available under the
`node:` scheme.
Contributed by Colin Ihrig in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42325.
Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:
- Prebuilt binaries for Linux are now built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) 8 and are compatible with Linux distributions based on glibc
2.28 or later, for example, Debian 10, RHEL 8, Ubuntu 20.04.
- Prebuilt binaries for macOS now require macOS 10.15 or later.
- For AIX the minimum supported architecture has been raised from Power
7 to Power 8.
Prebuilt binaries for 32-bit Windows will initially not be available due
to issues building the V8 dependency in Node.js. We hope to restore
32-bit Windows binaries for Node.js 18 with a future V8 update.
Node.js does not support running on operating systems that are no longer
supported by their vendor. For operating systems where their vendor has
planned to end support earlier than April 2025, such as Windows 8.1
(January 2023) and Windows Server 2012 R2 (October 2023), support for
Node.js 18 will end at the earlier date.
Full details about the supported toolchains and compilers are documented
in the Node.js `BUILDING.md` file.

, and Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42105 and
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42666.
V8 10.1:
The V8 engine is updated to version 10.1, which is part of Chromium 101.
Compared to the version included in Node.js 17.9.0, the following new
features are included:
- The `findLast` and `findLastIndex` array methods.
- Improvements to the `Intl.Locale` API.
- The `Intl.supportedValuesOf` function.
- Improved performance of class fields and private class methods (the
initialization of them is now as fast as ordinary property stores).
The data format returned by the serialization API (`v8.serialize(value)`)
has changed, and cannot be deserialized by earlier versions of Node.js.
On the other hand, it is still possible to deserialize the previous
format, as the API is backwards-compatible.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42657.
Web Streams API (experimental):
Node.js now exposes the experimental implementation of the Web Streams
API on the global scope. This means the following APIs are now globally
available:
- `ReadableStream`, `ReadableStreamDefaultReader`,
`ReadableStreamBYOBReader`, `ReadableStreamBYOBRequest`,
`ReadableByteStreamController`, `ReadableStreamDefaultController`,
`TransformStream`, `TransformStreamDefaultController`, `WritableStream`,
`WritableStreamDefaultWriter`, `WritableStreamDefaultController`,
`ByteLengthQueuingStrategy`, `CountQueuingStrategy`, `TextEncoderStream`,
`TextDecoderStream`, `CompressionStream`, `DecompressionStream`.

Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API:
Node.js ESM Loader hooks have been consolidated to represent the steps involved needed to facilitate future loader chaining:
1. `resolve`: `resolve` [+ `getFormat`]
2. `load`: `getFormat` + `getSource` + `transformSource`
For consistency, `getGlobalPreloadCode` has been renamed to `globalPreload`.
A loader exporting obsolete hook(s) will trigger a single deprecation warning (per loader) listing the errant hooks.

Main changes:
- Replace current HTML anchor generation to match
header anchor generation in Github markdown.
- Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G.
`esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`).
- Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules
when concatenated for usage in `all.html`.
Benefits:
- All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work.
- Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate
the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors.
- Anchors are much shorter.
- All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy
anchors.

Notable Changes:
Diagnostics channel (experimental module):
`diagnostics_channel` is a new experimental module that provides an API
to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for
diagnostics purposes.
The module was initially introduced in Node.js v15.1.0 and is
backported to v14.17.0 to enable testing it at a larger scale.
With `diagnostics_channel`, Node.js core and module authors can publish
contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could
be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just
create a named channel with `dc.channel(name)` and call
`channel.publish(data)` to send the data to any listeners to that
channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
// Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
channel.publish({
query: queryString,
host: this.hostname,
});
this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};
```
Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into
separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is
listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to
zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using
`channel.subscribe(listener)` to run a function whenever a message is
published to that channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});
```
The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is
doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting

UUID support in the crypto module:
The new `crypto.randomUUID()` method now allows to generate random
[RFC 4122](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) Version 4
UUID strings:
```js
const { randomUUID } = require('crypto');
console.log(randomUUID());
// 'aa7c91a1-f8fc-4339-b9db-f93fc7233429'

Experimental support for `AbortController` and `AbortSignal`:
Node.js 14.17.0 adds experimental partial support for `AbortController`
and `AbortSignal`.
Both constructors can be enabled globally using the
`--experimental-abortcontroller` flag.
Additionally, several Node.js APIs have been updated to support
`AbortSignal` for cancellation.
It is not mandatory to use the built-in constructors with them. Any
spec-compliant third-party alternatives should be compatible.
`AbortSignal` support was added to the following methods:
* `child_process.exec`
* `child_process.execFile`
* `child_process.fork`
* `child_process.spawn`
* `dgram.createSocket`
* `events.on`
* `events.once`
* `fs.readFile`
* `fs.watch`
* `fs.writeFile`
* `http.request`
* `https.request`
* `http2Session.request`
* The promisified variants of `setImmediate` and `setTimeout`

In the JSON fetching example, http.get request is being sent to
an http url that redirects to https. This causes the http.get
request to fail. To avoid redirect errors, a local http server
is set up that returns a json response.

This is a security release.
Notable changes:
Vulnerabilities fixed:
- CVE-2020-8251: Denial of Service by resource exhaustion CWE-400 due
to unfinished HTTP/1.1 requests (Critical).
- CVE-2020-8201: HTTP Request Smuggling due to CR-to-Hyphen conversion
(High).
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs-private/node-private/pull/225
This commits introduces a new http.Server option called requestTimeout
with a default value in milliseconds of 0.
If requestTimeout is set to a positive value, the server will start a new
timer set to expire in requestTimeout milliseconds when a new connection
is established. The timer is also set again if new requests after the
first are received on the socket (this handles pipelining and keep-alive
cases).
The timer is cancelled when:
1. the request body is completely received by the server.
2. the response is completed. This handles the case where the
application responds to the client without consuming the request body.
3. the connection is upgraded, like in the WebSocket case.
If the timer expires, then the server responds with status code 408 and
closes the connection.

Our docs describe static methods as Class Methods which seems
idiosyncratic for JavaScript. Align with MDN which calls them static
methods.
Refs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Structures/API_references/What_does_an_API_reference_need
JSON format for our docs will still use the key name `classMethods` for
this. I would like to change it to `staticMethods` but I don't know if
that will break things for consumers. So, leaving it alone. It's a
machine-consumable label more than a human-readable so I can live with
that.
