Release Notes Persisted

Fixed a memory leak in v8.serialize() when running Node.js within Electron.

It seems this pr would cause renderer process crashed in some cases. We do have reproduced this problem in our project, which always crashes with Electron v22.3.6 but works fine with Electron v22.3.5. Same source codes. And in a previous revision of our projects without the usage of v8.serialize(), it works fine with Electron v22.x version e.g. v22.3.26.

It is also interesting that the crashed project works fine with other higher versions of Electron, such as v26.x & v27.x.

However, a demo project cannot be provided at least by now. I'll try to make one when having time, but it has cost me a lot of time to figure out the problem. So just leave a message first.
