Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades

Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs for the Intel (

) and ARM (

) architectures the macOS installer (

) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture) binary.

V8 9.0

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance tweaks and improvements.

This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices array is available via the

property on match objects when the regular expression has the

flag.
