I think for Ember CLI, it might be worth mentioning that support for Node v12 has been dropped?

[chriskrycho]

Likely #emberjs/ember.js#20054 though we need to make a call on it b/c we have not yet updated guides or API docs or anything.

[chriskrycho]

Note: if we include that, I have material from an internal update about that (using the polyfill) which we can reuse.

[jenweber]

@bertdeblock got it, thanks for the note! I will add this.

@chriskrycho I pulled some minimal info from the RFC, in case you want to focus on the Guides. I put a placeholder for where we can link to the docs.

[chriskrycho]

Yeah, let's tentatively plan to do a minimal bit from the RFC for this, with a link to the blog post I will put up a draft of tomorrow to go with the release notes!

[jenweber]

@chriskrycho @cafreeman @NullVoxPopuli I added some info to this upcoming release blog post about RFCs you were involved in. Could you review the "new ember features" section for accuracy? I also want to make sure I capture the spirit/vision of the work. Thank you!

[chriskrycho]

Thanks for getting this ready to go out! I’ve made two suggested tweaks to the blog post, and I’ll have the plain-functions-as-helpers blog post up next week. 😄

[jenweber]

Thank you @chriskrycho for the edits, especially the improved framing of renderSettled.

[jenweber]

@bertdeblock if you would like to review the CLI section, feedback is welcome! I saw you were the author of a bunch of CLI PRs.

Suggested change

	This Ember CLI release drops support for Node 12. Node 12 reached "end of life"status (it no longer receives security updates) in April 2022.
