Metadata Update from @rafzal30: - Issue assigned to rafzal30
Hi, I am an outreachy applicant. Can I work on this issue?
@rafzal30 Sure! See the e-mail about release notes if you haven't already for detailed instructions. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/docs@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GBFK7PMEMVNB4A33DCWTOLTJ6XY6Y2MU/
No movement so I'll reassign this to myself and cover it.
Metadata Update from @pbokoc: - Issue assigned to pbokoc (was: rafzal30)
@pbokoc I am terribly sorry for the delay but I actually have the release note ready. I wasn't familiar with the asciidoc so was trying to figure that out amidst other contributions. Really very sorry but I am just about to make a PR. Is that alright?
== Node.js 14.x by Default
Fedora 33 will carry the latest LTS version 14.x as the default Node.js interpreter for the system.
== Benefit to Fedora
As Node.js is a popular JavaScript server-side engine, keepig Fedora updated with the latest Node.js relases will allow it to track the state-of-the-art in that space.
Fedora 33 will also have the 12.x release available as a selectable module stream for users who are runnng software that does not support 14.x.
== User Experience
Users will have the 14.x release of Node.js by defailt available in Fedora 33. However, if your applications are not compatible with the newer version, you can revert to the 12.x. release by running the following commands
dnf remove node.js
dnf module reset nodejs
dnf module install nodejs:12
@pbokoc please give me a go ahead so that I can open a PR
