2024-03-26, Version 18.20.0 'Hydrogen' (LTS)

Notable changes:

Added support for import attributes:

Support has been added, behind the `--harmony-import-attributes` flag, for
import attributes, which will replace import assertions in a future semver-major
Node.js release. This will aid migration by making the new syntax available
across all currently supported Node.js release lines.

For more details, see

* [#50134](#50134)
* [#51622](#51622)

Doc deprecation for `dirent.path`:

Please use newly added `dirent.parentPath` instead.

vm: fix V8 compilation cache support for vm.Script:

Previously repeated compilation of the same source code using `vm.Script`
stopped hitting the V8 compilation cache after v16.x when support for
`importModuleDynamically` was added to `vm.Script`, resulting in a performance
regression that blocked users (in particular Jest users) from upgrading from
v16.x.

The recent fixes allow the compilation cache to be hit again
for `vm.Script` when `--experimental-vm-modules` is not used even in the
presence of the `importModuleDynamically` option, so that users affected by the
performance regression can now upgrade. Ongoing work is also being done to
enable compilation cache support for `vm.CompileFunction`.
