## 2025-03-27, Version 18.20.8 'Hydrogen' (LTS), @richardlau

Please note that Node.js 18 is scheduled to reach End-of-Life on 30 April 2025. It is recommended to update to Node.js 20 or 22 as Node.js 18 will no longer receive security updates once it reaches End-of-Life.

Extended support for Node.js 18 may be available through [third party commercial partners](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases#commercial-support).

### Notable Changes

This release updates OpenSSL to 3.0.16 and root certificates to NSS 3.108.
