Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
ARM64 macOS 11 ("Apple Silicon")
It is now possible to successfully build binaries for ARM64 macOS using GitHub Actions, and this is exactly what this release does. These binaries are entirely untested since, well, nobody has an ARM64 Mac and I don't think Node.js runs on it yet. In any case - this is good preparation for the future.
- It should mean no difference to Intel macOS users unless something has regressed - please report any issue with this release regarding macOS.
- If you happen to have an ARM64 Mac; please test this if you can!

Node.js 15
Binaries are now built for every Node.js release from 10 up to 15. There is still no support for "Apple Silicon" (ARM64) since GitHub Actions cannot build for it, yet. That support will come in the future. Some of these old binaries will (probably) be culled in future releases to shrink the size of an install.

Multipart & URI query parsing, proper WorkerThreads
- Adds a multipart parser,
uWS.getParts(body, contentType)that parses at least 160x faster thanparse-multipartgiven 120kb input. - Adds
req.getQuery(key)for fetching the URI decoded URI query. Executes 400x faster than decodeURIComponent, so make sure you use this whenever you can. - Fixes graceful shutdown of WorkerThreads - no longer will the process fail on libuv assertions when exiting cleanly from a worker thread.
- Bumped ABI required on macOS - you'll need macOS Mojave or newer from now on.
- Fixed a pedantic CodeQL alert - we are ranked flawless A+ now.
- Updates to latest uWS.

GitHub Actions
-
We've moved from AppVeyor & TravisCI to GitHub Actions. All binaries are hosted and built here on one single platform. This might mean some old Linux distros won't be supported anymore, as we use a newer compiler and glibc.

Updates to latest uWS.

SSL fix
Apparently SSL support was entirely non-functional in v18.2.0, as we had a minor unfixed compilation error slip through.
