My recollection from nodejs/build#2445 was that we were going to raise the minimum supported version of gcc/g++ toolchain to 8 across the board. Is that going to be done separately? The configure.py script will still only warn for gcc/g++ below 6.3 unless it is changed.

@richardlau yes it should be done across the board - I was just getting AIX out of the way. It doesnt make sense to change configure until all systems are uptodate.

V8 9.0:

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance
tweaks and improvements.

This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which
provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices
array is available via the `.indices` property on match objects when the
regular expression has the `/d` flag.

Stable Timers Promises API:

The Timers Promises API provides an alternative set of timer functions
that return Promise objects. Added in Node.js v15.0.0, in this release
they graduate from experimental status to stable.

Contributed by James Snell - [#38112]

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:

Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt
binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs
for the Intel (`darwin-x64`) and ARM (`darwin-arm64`) architectures the
macOS installer (`.pkg`) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture)
binary.
