Download Node.js 10.12.0

Node.js is open-source and platform-independent and is focused on the development of server-side web applications. Those applications are written in JavaScript and executed within the Node.js runtime on the server. It offers an event-driven environment where non-blocking I / O has been an important starting point. For more information we refer to this page . The development team has released version 10.12.0 in the current branch. The list of changes is as follows:

  • The diff output is now a tiny bit improved by sorting object properties when inspecting the values ​​that are compared with each other. # 22788
• cli
  • The options parser now normalizes _to – in all multi-word command-line flags, e.g. –no_warnings has the same effect axis –no-warnings. # 23020

  • Added support for PEM-level encryption. # 23151
  • Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods of crypto.generateKeyPair and crypto.generateKeyPairSync can be used to generate public and private key pairs. The API supports RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER). # 22660
