BREAKING CHANGE: Node.js v14 support has been removed
Node.js v14 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-04-30. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v14 in Angular v16.
Angular v16 will continue to officially support Node.js versions v16 and v18.
Pacote version 14 does requires `14.17.x` or `16.13.x`.
BREAKING CHANGE: The Angular CLI no longer supports `16.10.x`, `16.11.x` and `16.12.x`. Current supported versions of Node.js are `14.20.x`, `16.13.x` and `18.10.x`.
.substr() is deprecated so we replace it with .slice() which works similarily but isn't deprecated

Node.js v12 will become EOL on 2022-04-30. As a result, Angular CLI v14 will no longer support Node.js v12.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Support for Node.js v12 has been removed as it will become EOL on 2022-04-30. Please use Node.js v14.15 or later.
The `npm` package manager recently released version 8. This version removes support for older versions of Node.js but retains support for the versions that align with Angular's support range. The Angular CLI packages unfortunately did not support version 8 due to the ranges only permitting versions ^6.11.0 and ^7.5.6 which were the minimums for each that ensured a functioning Angular CLI environment. The range has now been expanded to include >=8.0.0 to allow newer versions of `npm` to function as well.
npm 8.0.0 release information: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v8.0.0
Node.js v16 will be entering an LTS state prior to the release of Angular v13 which allows Node.js v16 to be marked as officially supported by the Angular CLI. The initial bootstrapping check now adds Node.js v16 to the output message in the event of an unsupported Node.js version.
NOTE: Prior to the final v13 release, the Node.js v16 minor should be updated to the actual LTS version once available.
The `no-useless-escape` eslint rule has now been enabled which removes unneeded characters and complexity from string literals and regular expressions. All files that were in violation of this rule have also been corrected.
The new public API tooling searches for nested package.json files to determine the location of secondary entrypoints. All secondary entrypoints for the CLI related packages now contain a secondary entrypoint package.json file.
The internal monorepo package discovery script was also updated to support the presence of the nested package.json files.
All TypeScript files have been updated to pass the new eslint-based linting checks. eslint compatible disabling comments have also been added in place of the previous tslint comments.
Currently, the version of a release is determined by the git tag.
This PR changes release script to determine the release version from the
`version` property in the root `package.json`.
Release docs have also been updated.
npm 7.5.6 contains several fixes that allow it to work successfully with the Angular CLI.
The minimum npm engine value is now set to support npm versions greater than 7.5.6 (npm 6 support remains unchanged).
A warning will be shown to users with npm 7 versions less than 7.5.6 when used with the new, add, or update commands.
This change provides an improved performance baseline as well as access to newer Node.js APIs and Javascript language features which the Angular CLI will now be able to leverage.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Node.js version 10 will become EOL on 2021-04-30.
Angular CLI 12 will require Node.js 12.13+ or 14.15+. Node.js 12.13 and 14.15 are the first LTS releases for their respective majors.
This change will display an error message if using npm 7 (or versions earlier than 6). This is a temporarily change while npm 7 usability concerns are addressed.
Currently, we can't publish v10 because the `--match` pattern in describe can't match the tag `v10.0.0`. The new glob has the following semantics:
```
v[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*
```
Couldn't make it stricter because didn't find an easy way to enable extglobs for git for everyone.
Yarn displays a warning due to an unknown engine value of `pnpm`. Until this is corrected upstream, the value can be temporarily removed to eliminate the multiple, but otherwise harmless, warnings shown to users upon package install.
Version 10.13.0 was the first version of 10.x that was considered LTS. This also provides an improved performance baseline as well as access to newer Node.js APIs and Javascript language features which the Angular CLI will now be able to leverage.
This was dropped because we used to have postinstall scripts that
we did not want to use on npm. We don't anymore, so there's no
use in removing those scripts.
This should make it easier to manage and diff. This takes 2 things into account:
1. we have either stable or experimental versions and each are kept in monorepo.
2. we dont keep hash and update only changed packages.
This commit also removed the hash to make sure this does not happen.
