Big thanks to @addaleax who prepared the vast majority of this release. Notable changes: * **Async Hooks** * Multiple improvements to Promise support in `async_hooks` have been made. * **Build** * The compiler version requirement to build Node with GCC has been raised to GCC 4.9.4. [[`820b011ed6`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/820b011ed6)] [#13466](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13466) * **Cluster** * Users now have more fine-grained control over the inspector port used by individual cluster workers. Previously, cluster workers would simply increment from the master's debug port. [[`dfc46e262a`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/dfc46e262a)] [#14140](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14140) * **DNS** * The server used for DNS queries can now use a custom port. [[`ebe7bb29aa`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/ebe7bb29aa)] [#13723](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13723) * Support for `dns.resolveAny()` has been added. [[`6e30e2558e`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/6e30e2558e)] [#13137](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13137) * **npm** * The `npm` CLI has been updated to version 5.3.0. In particular, it now comes with the `npx` binary, which is also shipped with Node. [[`dc3f6b9ac1`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/dc3f6b9ac1)] [#14235](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14235) * `npm` Changelogs: - [v5.0.4](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v5.0.4) - [v5.1.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v5.1.0) - [v5.2.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v5.2.0) - [v5.3.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v5.3.0) PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13744
2017-07-112017-07-11, Version 8.1.4 (Current)Evan Lucas
This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2017-security-releases/ for details on patched vulnerabilities. Notable changes * **build**: - Disable V8 snapshots - The hashseed embedded in the snapshot is currently the same for all runs of the binary. This opens node up to collision attacks which could result in a Denial of Service. We have temporarily disabled snapshots until a more robust solution is found (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) * **deps**: - CVE-2017-1000381 - The c-ares function ares_parse_naptr_reply(), which is used for parsing NAPTR responses, could be triggered to read memory outside of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS response packet was crafted in a particular way. This patch checks that there is enough data for the required elements of an NAPTR record (2 int16, 3 bytes for string lengths) before processing a record.
