[NewsBot]

Node.js v22.8.0 has been released.

New JS API for compile cache

This release adds a new API module.enableCompileCache() that can be used to enable on-disk code caching of all modules loaded after this API is called.
Previously this could only be enabled by the NODE_COMPILE_CACHE environment variable, so it could only set by end-users.
This API allows tooling and library authors to enable caching of their own code.
This is a built-in alternative to the v8-compile-cache/v8-compile-cache-lib packages,
but have better performance and supports ESM.

Thanks to Joyee Cheung for working on this.
