Node v13.0.0 (Current) Released — If you like living on the edge, here’s the newest version of Node for you. There’s lots of (relatively) minor points to enjoy, including:

• V8 7.8 is now used which brings a lot of performance improvements, faster object destructuring, and faster regex match failures.
• Full ICU is included in the release so all supported locales are now included.
• Numerous new deprecations or warnings for poor practices.
• The legacy HTTP parser has been removed and can’t be accessed via a flag.
