Notable Changes

Tracing Channel in diagnostic_channel

TracingChannel adds a new, high-performance channel to publish tracing data about the timing and purpose of function executions.

Contributed by Stephen Belanger in #44943

New URL.canParse API

A new API was added to the URL. URL.canParse checks if an input with an optional base value can be parsed correctly
according to WHATWG URL specification.

const isValid = URL.canParse('/foo', 'https://example.org/'); // true
const isNotValid = URL.canParse('/foo'); // false
