I added support for x32 back in 2014 but it's been in a state of
disrepair ever since, not in the least because it was never a fully
supported architecture in upstream V8.
V8 dropped x32 support entirely in or around 2018 so the removal from
Node's build system is long overdue.

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
tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging
queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source
for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the
application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

const { randomUUID } = require('crypto');

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`

Handle situations in which the main `Promise` from a TLA module
is not fulfilled better:
- When not resolving the `Promise` at all, set a non-zero exit code
(unless another one has been requested explicitly) to distinguish
the result from a successful completion.
- When rejecting the `Promise`, always treat it like an uncaught
exception. In particular, this also ensures a non-zero exit code.

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.

Multi-line JSON is more human readable, but harder for log aggregators
to consume, they usually require a log message per line, particularly
for JSON. Compact output will be consumable by aggregators such as EFK
(Elastic Search-Fluentd-Kibana), LogDNA, DataDog, etc.

It was not possible to understand which, if either, of the sentences
after the first ("Windows does not... emulation") apply specifically to
Windows. Specifically, `kill(pid, 0)` works on Linux and Windows and I
couldn't find it documented anywhere else, but the unconditional
termination occurs only on Windows.

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.

Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of _Node.js_ as
_Node.js'_ and other times as _Node.js's_. The former conforms with some
generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while
the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).
Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is
correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and
sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to
eliminate the possessive form where possible.
This is one of those examples.

Installing an uncaughtException listener has a side effect that process
is not aborted. This is quite bad for monitoring/logging tools which
tend to be interested in errors but don't want to cause side effects
like swallow an exception or change the output on console.
There are some workarounds in the wild like monkey patching emit or
rethrow in the exception if monitoring tool detects that it is the only
listener but this is error prone and risky.
This PR allows to install a listener to monitor uncaughtException
without the side effect to consider the exception has handled.

Instead of exposing the C++ bindings object as `subprocess.channel`
or `process.channel`, provide the “control” object that was
previously used internally as the public-facing variant of it.
This should be better than returning the raw pipe object, and
matches the original intention (when the `channel` property was
first added) of providing a proper way to `.ref()` or `.unref()`
the channel.

The use of dashes -- in general, but especially in our docs -- can be
problematic. It is used inconsistently and there is always another form
of punctuation that is as good or better for the situation. In an effort
to reduce the number of variations we use to display the same types of
information, remove the various uses of dashes from the documentation.
