As of today, version 16 of Node.js can be selected in the **Node.js Version** section on the General page in the **Project Settings** (newly created Projects will default to the new version).

The new version introduces several [new features](https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/node-js-16-available-now-7f5099a97e70) including:

- ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices
- `AbortController`
- `AggregateError`
- `Array.prototype.at()`
- `require('crypto').webcrypto`
- `require('timers/promises')`
- `fs.cp()`

The exact version used today is [16.14.0](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V16.md#16.14.0) and will automatically update minor and patch releases. Therefore, only the major version (16.x) is guaranteed.
