### Notable Changes

* **assert**:
  * If the validation function passed to `assert.throws()` or `assert.rejects()`
    returns a value other than `true`, an assertion error will be thrown instead
    of the original error to highlight the programming mistake (Ruben Bridgewater) [#28263](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263).
  * If a constructor function is passed to validate the instance of errors
    thrown in `assert.throws()` or `assert.reject()`, an assertion error will be
    thrown instead of the original error (Ruben Bridgewater) [#28263](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263).
* **build**:
  * Node.js releases are now built with default full-icu support. This means
    that all locales supported by ICU are now included and Intl-related APIs may
    return different values than before (Richard Lau) [#29887](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29887).
  * The minimum Xcode version supported for macOS was increased to 10. It is
    still possible to build Node.js with Xcode 8 but this may no longer be the
    case in a future v13.x release (Michael Dawson) [#29622](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29622).
* **child_process**:
  * `ChildProcess._channel` (DEP0129) is now a Runtime deprecation (cjihrig) [#27949](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27949).
* **console**:
  * The output `console.timeEnd()` and `console.timeLog()` will now
    automatically select a suitable time unit instead of always using
    milliseconds (Xavier Stouder) [#29251](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29251).
* **deps**:
  * The V8 engine was updated to version 7.8. This includes performance
    improvements to object destructuring, memory usage and WebAssembly startup
    time (Myles Borins) [#29694](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29694).
* **domain**:
  * The domain's error handler is now executed with the active domain set to the
    domain's parent to prevent inner recursion (Julien Gilli) [#26211](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26211).
* **fs**:
  * The undocumented method `FSWatcher.prototype.start()` was removed (Lucas Holmquist) [#29905](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29905).
  * Calling the `open()` method on a `ReadStream` or `WriteStream` now emits a
    runtime deprecation warning. The methods are supposed to be internal and
    should not be called by user code (Robert Nagy) [#29061](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29061).
  * `fs.read/write`, `fs.readSync/writeSync` and `fd.read/write` now accept any
    safe integer as their `offset` parameter. The value of `offset` is also no
    longer coerced, so a valid type must be passed to the functions (Zach Bjornson) [#26572](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26572).
* **http**:
  * Aborted requests no longer emit the `end` or `error` events after `aborted`
    (Robert Nagy) [#27984](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27984), [#20077](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20077).
  * Data will no longer be emitted after a socket error (Robert Nagy) [#28711](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28711).
  * The legacy HTTP parser (previously available under the
    `--http-parser=legacy` flag) was removed (Anna Henningsen) [#29589](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29589).
  * The `host` option for HTTP requests is now validated to be a string value (Giorgos Ntemiris) [#29568](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29568).
  * The `request.connection` and `response.connection` properties are now
    runtime deprecated. The equivalent `request.socket` and `response.socket`
    should be used instead (Robert Nagy) [#29015](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29015).
* **http, http2**:
  * The default server timeout was removed (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#27558](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27558).
  * Brought 425 status code name into accordance with RFC 8470. The name changed
    from "Unordered Collection" to "Too Early" (Sergei Osipov) [#29880](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29880).
* **lib**:
  * The `error.errno` property will now always be a number. To get the string
    value, use `error.code` instead (Joyee Cheung) [#28140](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28140).
* **module**:
  * `module.createRequireFromPath()` is deprecated. Use `module.createRequire()`
    instead (cjihrig) [#27951](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27951).
* **src**:
  * Changing the value of `process.env.TZ` will now clear the tz cache. This
    affects the default time zone used by methods such as
    `Date.prototype.toString` (Ben Noordhuis) [#20026](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20026).
* **stream**:
  * The timing and behavior of streams was consolidated for a number of edge
    cases. Please look at the individual commits below for more information.
