### 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.

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);
};
```

Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using `channel.subscribe(listener)` to run a function whenever a message is published to that channel.

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

channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
  console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});
```

The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

#### New child process `'spawn'` event

Instances of `ChildProcess` now emit a new `'spawn'` event once the child process has spawned successfully.

If emitted, the `'spawn'` event comes before all other events and before any data is received via `stdout` or `stderr`.

The `'spawn'` event will fire regardless of whether an error occurs **within** the spawned process.
For example, if `bash some-command` spawns successfully, the `'spawn'` event will fire, though `bash` may fail to spawn `some-command`.
This caveat also applies when using `{ shell: true }`.

#### Set the local address for DNS resolution

It is now possible to set the local IP address used by a `Resolver` instance to send its requests.
This allows programs to specify outbound interfaces when used on multi-homed
systems.

The resolver will use the v4 local address when making requests to IPv4 DNS servers, and the v6 local address when making requests to IPv6 DNS servers.

```js
const { Resolver } = require('dns');

const resolver = new Resolver();

resolver.setLocalAddress('10.1.2.3');
// Equivalent to: resolver.setLocalAddress('10.1.2.3', '::0');
```

#### Control V8 coverage at runtime

The `v8` module includes two new methods to control the V8 coverage started by the `NODE_V8_COVERAGE` environment variable.

With `v8.takeCoverage()`, it is possible to write a coverage report to disk on demand. This can be done multiple times during the lifetime of the process, and the execution counter will be reset on each call.
When the process is about to exit, one last coverage will still be written to disk, unless `v8.stopCoverage()` was invoked before.

The `v8.stopCoverage()` method allows to stop the coverage collection, so that V8 can release the execution counters and optimize code.

#### Analyze Worker's event loop utilization

`Worker` instances now have a `performance` property, with a single `eventLoopUtilization` method that can be used to gather information about the worker's event loop utilization between the `'online'` and `'exit'` events.

The method works the same way as `perf_hooks` `eventLoopUtilization()`.

#### Take a V8 heap snapshot just before running out of memory (experimental)

With the new `--heapsnapshot-near-heap-limit=max_count` experimental command line flag, it is now possible to automatically generate a heap snapshot when the V8 heap usage is approaching the heap limit. `count` should be a non-negative integer (in which case Node.js will write no more than `max_count` snapshots to disk).

When generating snapshots, garbage collection may be triggered and bring the heap usage down, therefore multiple snapshots may be written to disk before the Node.js instance finally runs out of memory. These heap snapshots can be compared to determine what objects are being allocated during the time consecutive snapshots are taken.

Generating V8 snapshots takes time and memory (both memory managed by the V8 heap and native memory outside the V8 heap). The bigger the heap is, the more resources it needs. Node.js will adjust the V8 heap to accommondate the additional V8 heap memory overhead, and try its best to avoid using up all the memory avialable to the process.

```console
$ node --max-old-space-size=100 --heapsnapshot-near-heap-limit=3 index.js
Wrote snapshot to Heap.20200430.100036.49580.0.001.heapsnapshot
