From 862b75d35e2c46b23d0c4235c35a2d162c856735 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yash Ladha Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2020 15:10:53 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] doc: added details around console.timeEnd changes Since PR https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29251 is merged into master, the implementation of `console.timeEnd` is not to print the milliseconds on the stdout but instead print a more readable time unit on the console. For example if the total time comes out to be 3456 milliseconds, it will be printed as 3.45 seconds so that it is much more readable and consistent.
