   Stable Timers Promises API:
   
   The Timers Promises API provides an alternative set of timer functions
   that return Promise objects. Added in Node.js v15.0.0, in this release
   they graduate from experimental status to stable.
   
   Contributed by James Snell - [#38112]
   
   Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:
   
   Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt
   binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs
   for the Intel (`darwin-x64`) and ARM (`darwin-arm64`) architectures the
   macOS installer (`.pkg`) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture)
   binary.

   V8 9.0:
   
   The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance
   tweaks and improvements.
   
   This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which
   provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices
   array is available via the `.indices` property on match objects when the
   regular expression has the `/d` flag.
