This release upgrades the default "fresh-node" command to the latest WMF CI image for Node.js, which bundles Node.js 12 and npm 7. It is based on Debian 11 ("Bullseye") and includes Firefox 78 and Chromium 90 as well.

The previous Node.js 10 environment remains available as "fresh-node10" in case you need it during the transition over the coming weeks. It will likely be removed within a month or two. If you encounter problems with Node.js 12, let us know on Phabricator! [1]

This release also introduces a "fresh-node14" command for experimention with Node.js 14.

Fresh is a fast way to create isolated environments from your terminal. These can be used to more securely work with 'npm' developer tools such as ESLint, QUnit, Grunt, Selenium, and more. Example guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing
