1. 2019-10-22, Version 13.0.0 (Current) …

   Notable changes:
   
   * assert:
     * If the validation function passed to `assert.throws()` or
       `assert.rejects()` returns a value other than `true`, an assertion
       error will be thrown instead of the original error to highlight the
       programming mistake (Ruben Bridgewater).
       #28263
     * If a constructor function is passed to validate the instance of
       errors thrown in `assert.throws()` or `assert.reject()`, an
       assertion error will be thrown instead of the original error
       (Ruben Bridgewater).
       #28263
   * build:
     * Node.js releases are now built with default full-icu support. This
       means that all locales supported by ICU are now included and
       Intl-related APIs may return different values than before
       (Richard Lau).
       #29887
     * The minimum Xcode version supported for macOS was increased to 10.
       It is still possible to build Node.js with Xcode 8 but this may no
       longer be the case in a future v13.x release (Michael Dawson).
       #29622
   * child_process:
     * `ChildProcess._channel` (DEP0129) is now a Runtime deprecation
       (cjihrig).
       #27949
   * console:
     * The output `console.timeEnd()` and `console.timeLog()` will now
       automatically select a suitable time unit instead of always using
       milliseconds (Xavier Stouder).
       #29251
   * deps:
     * The V8 engine was updated to version 7.8. This includes performance
       improvements to object destructuring, memory usage and WebAssembly
       startup time (Myles Borins).
       #29694)
   * domain:
     * The domain's error handler is now executed with the active domain
       set to the domain's parent to prevent inner recursion
       (Julien Gilli).
       #26211
   * fs:
     * The undocumented method `FSWatcher.prototype.start()` was removed
       (Lucas Holmquist).
       #29905
     * Calling the `open()` method on a `ReadStream` or `WriteStream` now
       emits a runtime deprecation warning. The methods are supposed to be
       internal and should not be called by user code (Robert Nagy).
       #29061
     * `fs.read/write`, `fs.readSync/writeSync` and `fd.read/write` now
       accept any safe integer as their `offset` parameter. The value of
       `offset` is also no longer coerced, so a valid type must be passed
       to the functions (Zach Bjornson).
       #26572
   * http:
     * Aborted requests no longer emit the `end` or `error` events after
       `aborted` (Robert Nagy).
       #27984
       #20077
     * Data will no longer be emitted after a socket error (Robert Nagy).
       #28711
     * The legacy HTTP parser (previously available under the
       `--http-parser=legacy` flag) was removed (Anna Henningsen).
       #29589
     * The `host` option for HTTP requests is now validated to be a string
       value (Giorgos Ntemiris).
       #29568
     * The `request.connection` and `response.connection` properties are now
       runtime deprecated. The equivalent `request.socket` and `response.socket`
       should be used instead (Robert Nagy).
       #29015
   * http, http2:
     * The default server timeout was removed (Ali Ijaz Sheikh).
       #27558
     * Brought 425 status code name into accordance with RFC 8470. The name
       changed from "Unordered Collection" to "Too Early" (Sergei Osipov).
       #29880
   * lib:
     * The `error.errno` property will now always be a number. To get the
       string value, use `error.code` instead (Joyee Cheung).
       #28140
   * module:
     * `module.createRequireFromPath()` is deprecated. Use
       `module.createRequire()` instead (cjihrig).
       #27951
   * src:
     * Changing the value of `process.env.TZ` will now clear the tz cache.
       This affects the default time zone used by methods such as
       `Date.prototype.toString` (Ben Noordhuis).
       #20026
   * stream:
     * The timing and behavior of streams was consolidated for a number of
       edge cases. Please look at the individual commits below for more
       information.
