cli/CHANGELOG.md

 - The properties and values returned by the [Module API](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/module-api) and included in the arguments of handlers for the [`after:run`](https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/after-run-api) and  [`after:spec`](https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/after-spec-api) have been changed to be more consistent. Addresses [#23805](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23805).
 - For Cypress Cloud runs with Test Replay enabled, the Cypress Runner UI is now hidden during the run since the Runner will be visible during Test Replay. As such, if video is recorded (which is now defaulted to `false`) during the run, the Runner will not be visible. In addition, if a runner screenshot (`cy.screenshot({ capture: runner })`) is captured, it will no longer contain the Runner.
 - Upgraded [`@cypress/request`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cypress/request) from `^2.88.11` to `^3.0.0`. Redirects between http and https are no longer supported by [`cy.visit()`](/api/commands/visit) and [`cy.request()`](/api/commands/request). Addresses [#27535](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/27535). Addressed in [#27495](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/27495).
+- Node 14 support has been removed and Node 16 support has been deprecated. Node 16 may continue to work with Cypress `v13`, but will not be supported moving forward to closer coincide with [Node 16's end-of-life](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol) schedule. It is recommended that users update to at least Node 18.
+- The minimum supported Typescript version is `4.x`.
