Node v15.1.0 (Current) Released — If you need to get away from the stresses and strains of the week for a bit, why not play with the newest Node release? It has a few neat new bits to check out:

Diagnostics Channels: A new experimental module (diagnostics_channel) that lets you create named channels for passing diagnostics related messages around – check out the example in this post.

New spawn event for child processes: Instances of ChildProcess emit a new ‘spawn’ event once the child process has spawned successfully.

You can set local addresses for DNS resolution: This could be helpful when a machine is connected to multiple networks.

And more! Including being able to control V8 coverage collection better, monitor Worker instances’ event loop usage, and take more heap snapshots just before OOM events.
