Add prebuilt binaries for nodejs 20 LTS

[bchew]

nodejs 20 has just been moved to active LTS and we have just realised there were no prebuilt binaries after upgrading as per snippet below (similar to the issue with nodejs 18 last year):

Would it be possible to have prebuilt binaries for 20 as well? That would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey!

I will try to add the prebuilt binaries next weekend, I will update this if I am able to do so

Excellent @JCMais !

Just ask if you need any help :)

Cheers, David

Hi @JCMais,

Did you manage to build the library for Node 20?

Thanks, David

[JCMais]

No, there are some build issues that I will have to fix throughout the week

[ddolcimascolo]

Yeah, for zlib I see that Node 20 returns a weird version number that makes the build fail because no corresponding tag exists in the zlib repo...

$ node -e "console.log(process.versions.zlib)"
1.2.13.1-motley

Hi all,

For the record, I did setup a build of the native addon using zlib 1.2.13 (as per my comment above) and libcurl 7.86.0 using a private, custom CI job on a Linux x64 container (based on Debian 11, my primary target). Build passed with a few warnings and our test suite is all green.

Hi @JCMais

Really looking forward to the support for NodeJS 20.

Thanks, Pankaj

[JCMais]

I released a pre-release version of node-libcurl that has prebuilt binaries Node.js v20, it is available through node-libcurl@next, feel free to try it out and report any issues.

This pre-release version will probably become the v4 version of the package, there are no API-breaking changes thus far, and the only reason for the new major version will be the drop of support for old node versions.

[pankaz]

@JCMais, thank you so much for this fix. I will check this out and revert if I come across any issues.

[bchew]

@JCMais we've tested the pre-release version and it's working as expected. Thanks again for sorting this out, much appreciated.

Hey @JCMais, how is the progress on bumping the next version to latest?

@kdev looks like 4.0.0 has just dropped 🎉:
