Full Release Notes

### Minor Changes

- #1265 186e4bb Thanks @Schniz! - enable `--resolve-engines` by default. out of experimental phase.

  to disable it, add a `--resolve-engines=false` flag, and make sure to open an issue describing _why_.
  It might feel like a breaking change but .nvmrc and .node-version have precedence so it should not.

  I am all in favor of better experience and I believe supporting engines.node is a good direction.
