Node v13.8.0 (Current), 12.15 and 10.19 (LTS) Released — These are the security releases we previously mentioned were coming. The vulnerabilities fixed are around HTTP parsing and being able to crash a Node process with a malformed TLS certificate string, so if your Node apps are presenting HTTP services to the world, get upgrading ASAP.

Electron 8.0.0 Released — The popular cross-platform desktop app development toolkit takes more steps forward, mostly in the area of dependencies, by moving to Chrome 80 (which only came out this week itself), V8 8.0, and Node 12.13. IPC communication now uses a new algorithm which is a lot faster for large and complex objects too. Offscreen rendering is currently disabled, however, so don’t upgrade if you depend on it.
