## 2019-11-05, Version 13.1.0 (Current), @targos
### Notable Changes
* **cli**:
* Added a new flag (`--trace-uncaught`) that makes Node.js print the stack
trace at the time of throwing uncaught exceptions, rather than at the
creation of the `Error` object, if there is any. This is disabled by default
because it affects GC behavior (Anna Henningsen) [#30025](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30025).
* **crypto**:
* Added `Hash.prototype.copy()` method. It returns a new `Hash` object with
its internal state cloned from the original one (Ben Noordhuis) [#29910](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29910).
* **dgram**:
* Added source-specific multicast support. This adds methods to Datagram
sockets to support [RFC 4607](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4607) for IPv4
and IPv6 (Lucas Pardue) [#15735](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/15735).
* **fs**:
* Added a `bufferSize` option to `fs.opendir()`. It allows to control the
number of entries that are buffered internally when reading from the
directory (Anna Henningsen) [#30114](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30114).
* **meta**:
* Added [Chengzhong Wu](https://github.com/legendecas) to collaborators [#30115](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30115).

## 2019-10-22, Version 13.0.0 (Current), @BethGriggs
### 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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29622).
* **child_process**:
* `ChildProcess._channel` (DEP0129) is now a Runtime deprecation (cjihrig) [#27949](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26211).
* **fs**:
* The undocumented method `FSWatcher.prototype.start()` was removed (Lucas Holmquist) [#29905](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26572).
* **http**:
* Aborted requests no longer emit the `end` or `error` events after `aborted`
(Robert Nagy) [#27984](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27984), [#20077](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20077).
* Data will no longer be emitted after a socket error (Robert Nagy) [#28711](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28711).
* The legacy HTTP parser (previously available under the
`--http-parser=legacy` flag) was removed (Anna Henningsen) [#29589](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29589).
* The `host` option for HTTP requests is now validated to be a string value (Giorgos Ntemiris) [#29568](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29015).
* **http, http2**:
* The default server timeout was removed (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#27558](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27558).
* Brought 425 status code name into accordance with RFC 8470. The name changed
from "Unordered Collection" to "Too Early" (Sergei Osipov) [#29880](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29880).
* **lib**:
* The `error.errno` property will now always be a number. To get the string
value, use `error.code` instead (Joyee Cheung) [#28140](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28140).
* **module**:
* `module.createRequireFromPath()` is deprecated. Use `module.createRequire()`
instead (cjihrig) [#27951](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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.
