### Notable Changes

#### Diagnostics channel (experimental module)

diagnostics_channel is a new experimental module that provides an API to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for diagnostics purposes.

The module was initially introduced in Node.js v15.1.0 and is backported to v14.17.0 to enable testing it at a larger scale.

With diagnostics_channel, Node.js core and module authors can publish contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just create a named channel with dc.channel(name) and call channel.publish(data) to send the data to any listeners to that channel.

```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');

MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
  // Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
  channel.publish({
    query: queryString,
    host: this.hostname,
  });

  this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};
```

#### UUID support in the crypto module

#### Experimental support for AbortController and AbortSignal
