V8 Javascript Update

NodeJS 14 introduces V8.1 Javascript Engine. This release has many large performance improvements over V8.


Diagnostic Report

This feature is now in stable and allows you to write out a JSON file to disk.

You can find more information about this feature here.


Internationalization Support

NodeJS 14 improves internationalization by including full-icu by default.

You can find more information bout this feature here.


Experimental Async Local Storage API

Experimental Async Local Storage API brings thread-local storage like functionality to NodeJS. This allows you to create state with asynchronous code like callbacks and promises.


You can find more information bout this feature here.

Some other features have been updated as well.

  • Streams
  • N-API 6 Support
  • Depreciated modules

The two biggest features in this release are V8.1 Javascript Engine and Internationalization improvements.

You can download the latest version of NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/ but you will need the current version to use these features. The LTS edition is long term support and does not have bleeding-edge features.

that I observe a negative vote which neighborhood with all my earnings

Make some corrections, place sources of content on it, since I really need that money. I'm a single mother. I live here in Venezuela. The economic situation is difficult from all points of view. So, through the support that Christian brothers give me, I have been a little better and buy food in each blog that I do I invest time and effort I leave with pain in the eyes.
for you to belittle my work and leave me in a bad situation and position.
I hope I can restore the profits generated and explain the reason for your dissatisfaction to make the respective improvements
God bless you..
