Node v14.10.0 (Current) Released — Nothing big here, lots of documentation edits, and a few minor tweaks such as the crypto package gaining a randomInt function that will return a integer within a certain range in a way that there’s no modulo bias, e.g. crypto.randomInt(1, 10)

(And just seconds before we were about to hit send, Node 14.10.1 was released to fix a streams regression with async generators in 14.10, so you'll really be getting 14.10.1 if you upgrade now :-))
