It is possible to switch to a specific version of document at the top goto-toolbar "view another version": https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v10.x/api/worker_threads.html. The link in the OP links to the latest version of Node.js, and in that version (v23.x) worker_threads module is stable.

It's true. But notice this information is incomplete and misunderstanding. And for documentations, it should not only list the support status for current version, but it should also list the support status for previous versions.

Sounds good. PR is welcomed to add history metadata (example) to the Worker doc.

[kevinuehara]
