Description:

This update for nodejs12 fixes the following issues:

  • Add getrandom syscall definition for all Linux platforms. This fixes a runtime error in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (bsc#1162117)

Update to LTS release 12.16.1:
  • Reverted regressions from 12.16.0 + accidental unflagging of self resolving modules - it now requires --experimental-modules flag to enable. + process cleanup changes introduced WASM-Related assertion + use of largepages runtime option introduced linking failure + async_hooks was causing an exception when handling errors + enumerable Read-Only property on EventEmitter breaks @types/extend + exceptions in the HTTP parser were not emitting as an uncaughtException

Update to LTS release 12.16.0:
  • assert: add experimental assert.match() and assert.doesNotMatch() methods. These allow matching vs. provided regular expressions.
  • child_process, cluster: now support serialization option to allow for custom serialization mechanism for IPC.
  • cli: add --trace-edit and --trance-uncaught flags
  • crypto: + added support for 'ieee-p1363' signature type for DSA and ECDSA in addition to DER + Added Hash.prototype.copy making it possibly to clone internal state of Hash object. This allows digest computation between updates.
  • deps: + libuv was updated to 1.34.0 + V8 was updated to 7.8.279.23 - for official changes, see https://v8.dev/blog/v8-release-78
  • events: + add EventEmitter.on to async iterate over events + allow monitoring error events via EventEmitter.errorMonitor + add experimental method to captureRejections for async handlers
