  options

OpenSSL 3.0:

Node.js now includes OpenSSL 3.0, specifically https://github.com/quictls/openssl
which provides QUIC support.

While OpenSSL 3.0 APIs should be mostly compatible with those provided
by OpenSSL 1.1.1, we do anticipate some ecosystem impact due to
tightened restrictions on the allowed algorithms and key sizes.

If you hit an `ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED` error in your application with
Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re using
is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer allowed
by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A command-line option,
`--openssl-legacy-provider`, has been added to revert to the legacy
provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.

For details about all the features in
OpenSSL 3.0 please see https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/07/OpenSSL3.Final.

V8 9.5:

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.5. This release comes with

Readline Promise API:

The `readline` module provides an interface for reading data from a
Readable stream (such as `process.stdin`) one line at a time.
