v7.0.0

Breaking changes

• It dropped the support of Node.js 4. Now it requires >=6.
• It dropped the support of ESLint 3. Now it requires >=4.19.1. (the node/recommended preset is supporting only ESLint >=5.0.0)
• It updated the node/recommended config.
  • changed parserOptions.ecmaVersion to 2019 from 2018.
  • added plugins: ["node"].
  • removed a deprecated rule: node/no-unsupported-features.
  • added three new rules:
    • node/no-unsupported-features/es-builtins
    • node/no-unsupported-features/es-syntax
    • node/no-unsupported-features/node-builtins.
• It updated the node/no-deprecated-api rule to support Node.js up to 10.6.0.
  • Note some assertion methods such as assert.equal are deprecated. Use stricter methods such as assert.strictEqual or the strict mode (assert.strict) instead.

New rules

• node/no-unsupported-features/es-builtins ... disallow unsupported ECMAScript built-in globals on the configured Node.js version.
• node/no-unsupported-features/es-syntax ... disallow unsupported ECMAScript syntax on the configured Node.js version.
• node/no-unsupported-features/node-builtins ... disallow unsupported Node.js built-in modules and globals on the configured Node.js version.
• node/prefer-global/buffer ... enforce the use of either Buffer or require("buffer").Buffer consistently.
• node/prefer-global/console ... enforce the use of either console or require("console") consistently.
• node/prefer-global/process ... enforce the use of either process or require("process") consistently.
• node/prefer-global/url-search-params ... enforce the use of either URLSearchParams or require("url").URLSearchParams consistently.
• node/prefer-global/url ... enforce the use of either URL or require("url").URL consistently.

Deprecated rules

• node/no-unsupported-features was replaced by node/no-unsupported-features/es-builtins and node/no-unsupported-features/es-syntax.

Chore

I extracted the logic which detects certain globals and modules and those properties to the eslint-utils package. I wish it to be useful for your ESLint plugins.
