Notable Changes
crypto: implement crypto.hash()
This patch introduces a helper crypto.hash() that computes
a digest from the input at one shot. This can be 1.2-2x faster
than the object-based createHash() for smaller inputs (<= 5MB)
that are readily available (not streamed) and incur less memory
overhead since no intermediate objects will be created.
const crypto = require('node:crypto');
// Hashing a string and return the result as a hex-encoded string.
const string = 'Node.js';
// 10b3493287f831e81a438811a1ffba01f8cec4b7
console.log(crypto.hash('sha1', string));

Loading and parsing environment variables
process.loadEnvFile(path):
Use this function to load the .env file. If no path is specified, it
automatically loads the .env file in the current directory. Example:
process.loadEnvFile().
Load a specific .env file by specifying its path. Example:
process.loadEnvFile('./development.env').
util.parseEnv(content):
Use this function to parse an existing string containing environment variable
assignments.
Example usage: require('node:util').parseEnv('HELLO=world').

New connection attempt events
Three new events were added in the net.createConnection flow:
connectionAttempt: Emitted when a new connection attempt is established. In case
of Happy Eyeballs, this might emitted multiple times.
connectionAttemptFailed: Emitted when a connection attempt failed. In case of
Happy Eyeballs, this might emitted multiple times.
connectionAttemptTimeout: Emitted when a connection attempt timed out. In case
of Happy Eyeballs, this will not be emitted for the last attempt. This is not
emitted at all if Happy Eyeballs is not used.
Additionally, a previous bug has been fixed where a new connection attempt could
have been started after a previous one failed and after the connection was
destroyed by the user.
This led to a failed assertion.

Permission Model changes
Node.js 20.12.0 comes with several fixes for the experimental permission model
and two new semver-minor commits.
We're adding a new flag --allow-addons to enable addon usage when using the
Permission Model.
$ node --experimental-permission --allow-addons
Contributed by Rafael Gonzaga in #51183
And relative paths are now supported through the --allow-fs-* flags.
Therefore, with this release one can use:
$ node --experimental-permission --allow-fs-read=./index.js
To give only read access to the entrypoint of the application.

sea: support embedding assets
Users can now include assets by adding a key-path dictionary
to the configuration as the assets field. At build time, Node.js
would read the assets from the specified paths and bundle them into
the preparation blob. In the generated executable, users can retrieve
the assets using the sea.getAsset() and sea.getAssetAsBlob() API.
{
  "main": "/path/to/bundled/script.js",
  "output": "/path/to/write/the/generated/blob.blob",
  "assets": {
    "a.jpg": "/path/to/a.jpg",
    "b.txt": "/path/to/b.txt"
  }
}
The single-executable application can access the assets as follows:
const { getAsset } = require('node:sea');
// Returns a copy of the data in an ArrayBuffer
const image = getAsset('a.jpg');
// Returns a string decoded from the asset as UTF8.
const text = getAsset('b.txt', 'utf8');
// Returns a Blob containing the asset without copying.
const blob = getAssetAsBlob('a.jpg');
Contributed by Joyee Cheung in #50960.
Support configurable snapshot through --build-snapshot-config flag
We are adding a new flag --build-snapshot-config to configure snapshots through
a custom JSON configuration file.
$ node --build-snapshot-config=/path/to/myconfig.json
When using this flag, additional script files provided on the command line will
not be executed and instead be interpreted as regular command line arguments.
These changes were contributed by Joyee Cheung and Anna Henningsen in #50453
Text Styling
util.styleText(format, text): This function returns a formatted text considering
the format passed.
A new API has been created to format text based on util.inspect.colors, enabling
you to style text in different colors (such as red, blue, ...) and emphasis
(italic, bold, ...).
const { styleText } = require('node:util');
const errorMessage = styleText('red', 'Error! Error!');
console.log(errorMessage);

vm: support using the default loader to handle dynamic import()
This patch adds support for using vm.constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER
as the
importModuleDynamically option in all vm APIs that take this option except
vm.SourceTextModule. This allows users to have a shortcut to support dynamic
import() in the compiled code without missing the compilation cache if they
don't need customization of the loading process. We emit an experimental warning
when the import() is actually handled by the default loader through this option
instead of requiring --experimental-vm-modules.
const { Script, constants } = require('node:vm');
const { resolve } = require('node:path');
const { writeFileSync } = require('node:fs');
// Write test.js and test.txt to the directory where the current script
// being run is located.
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.mjs'),
              'export const filename = "./test.json";');
writeFileSync(resolve(__dirname, 'test.json'),
              '{"hello": "world"}');
// Compile a script that loads test.mjs and then test.json
// as if the script is placed in the same directory.
const script = new Script(
  `(async function() {
    const { filename } = await import('./test.mjs');
    return import(filename, { with: { type: 'json' } })
  })();`,
  {
    filename: resolve(__dirname, 'test-with-default.js'),
    importModuleDynamically: constants.USE_MAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_LOADER,
  });
// { default: { hello: 'world' } }
script.runInThisContext().then(console.log);
