+
+### Notable Changes
+
+#### Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API
+
+Node.js ESM Loader hooks now support multiple custom loaders, and composition is
+achieved via "chaining": `foo-loader` calls `bar-loader` calls `qux-loader`
+(a custom loader _must_ now signal a short circuit when intentionally not
+calling the next). See the [ESM docs](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html) for details.
+
+Real-world use-cases are laid out for end-users with working examples in the
+article [Custom ESM loaders: Who, what, when, where, why, how](https://dev.to/jakobjingleheimer/custom-esm-loaders-who-what-when-where-why-how-4i1o).
