Notable changes: * npm: Upgrade to v2.15.1. IMPORTANT: This is a major upgrade to npm v2 LTS from the previously deprecated npm v1. (Forrest L Norvell) * npm: Upgrade to v2.15.1. Fixes a security flaw in the use of authentication tokens in HTTP requests that would allow an attacker to set up a server that could collect tokens from users of the command-line interface. Authentication tokens have previously been sent with every request made by the CLI for logged-in users, regardless of the destination of the request. This update fixes this by only including those tokens for requests made against the registry or registries used for the current install. IMPORTANT: This is a major upgrade to npm v2 LTS from the previously deprecated npm v1. (Forrest L Norvell) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5967 * openssl: OpenSSL v1.0.1s disables the EXPORT and LOW ciphers as they are obsolete and not considered safe.

2016-03-082016-03-08, Version 4.4.0 'Argon' (LTS)Myles Borins
In December we announced that we would be doing a minor release in order to get a number of voted on SEMVER-MINOR changes into LTS. Our ability to release this was delayed due to the unforeseen security release v4.3. We are quickly bumping to v4.4 in order to bring you the features that we had committed to releasing. This release also includes over 70 fixes to our docs and over 50 fixes to tests. The SEMVER-MINOR changes include: * deps: - An update to v8 that introduces a new flag --perf_basic_prof_only_functions (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3609 * http: - A new feature in http(s) agent that catches errors on *keep alived* connections (José F. Romaniello) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4482 * src: - Better support for Big-Endian systems (Bryon Leung) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3410 * tls: - A new feature that allows you to pass common SSL options to `tls.createSecurePair` (Коренберг Марк) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2441 * tools - a new flag `--prof-process` which will execute the tick processor on the provided isolate files (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4021 Notable semver patch changes include: * buld: - Support python path that includes spaces. This should be of particular interest to our Windows users who may have python living in `c:/Program Files` (Felix Becker) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4841 * https: - A potential fix for https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3692 HTTP/HTTPS client requests throwing EPROTO (Fedor Indutny) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4982 * installer: - More readable profiling information from isolate tick logs (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3032 * *npm: - upgrade to npm 2.14.20 (Kat Marchán) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5510 * process: - Add support for symbols in event emitters. Symbols didn't exist when it was written ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (cjihrig) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4798 * querystring: - querystring.parse() is now 13-22% faster! (Brian White) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4675 * streams: - performance improvements for moving small buffers that shows a 5% throughput gain. IoT projects have been seen to be as much as 10% faster with this change! (Matteo Collina) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4354 * tools: - eslint has been updated to version 2.1.0 (Rich Trott) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5214 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5301
2016-03-092016-03-08 Version 0.12.12 (LTS) ReleaseRod Vagg
Notable changes: * openssl: Fully remove SSLv2 support, the `--enable-ssl2` command line argument will now produce an error. The DROWN Attack (https://drownattack.com/) creates a vulnerability where SSLv2 is enabled by a server, even if a client connection is not using SSLv2. The SSLv2 protocol is widely considered unacceptably broken and should not be supported. More information is available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0800 Note that the upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1s in Node.js v0.12.11 removed internal SSLv2 support. The change in this release was originally intended for v0.12.11. The `--enable-ssl2` command line argument now produces an error rather than being a no-op.

Notable changes: * http_parser: Update to http-parser 1.2 to fix an unintentionally strict limitation of allowable header characters. (James M Snell) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5242 * domains: - Prevent an exit due to an exception being thrown rather than emitting an 'uncaughtException' event on the `process` object when no error handler is set on the domain within which an error is thrown and an 'uncaughtException' event listener is set on `process`. (Julien Gilli) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3887 - Fix an issue where the process would not abort in the proper function call if an error is thrown within a domain with no error handler and `--abort-on-uncaught-exception` is used. (Julien Gilli) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3887 * openssl: Upgrade from 1.0.1r to 1.0.1s (Ben Noordhuis) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5508 - Fix a double-free defect in parsing malformed DSA keys that may potentially be used for DoS or memory corruption attacks. It is likely to be very difficult to use this defect for a practical attack and is therefore considered low severity for Node.js users. More info is available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0705 - Fix a defect that can cause memory corruption in certain very rare cases relating to the internal `BN_hex2bn()` and `BN_dec2bn()` functions. It is believed that Node.js is not invoking the code paths that use these functions so practical attacks via Node.js using this defect are _unlikely_ to be possible. More info is available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0797 - Fix a defect that makes the CacheBleed Attack (https://ssrg.nicta.com.au/projects/TS/cachebleed/) possible. This defect enables attackers to execute side-channel attacks leading to the potential recovery of entire RSA private keys. It only affects the Intel Sandy Bridge (and possibly older) microarchitecture when using hyper-threading. Newer microarchitectures, including Haswell, are unaffected.

2016-02-242016-02-23, Version 5.7.0 (Stable)Rod Vagg
* buffer: - You can now supply an encoding argument when filling a Buffer Buffer#fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding]), supplying an existing Buffer will also work with Buffer#fill(buffer[, start[, end]]). See the API documentation for details on how this works. (Trevor Norris) #4935 - Buffer#indexOf() no longer requires a byteOffset argument if you also wish to specify an encoding: Buffer#indexOf(val[, byteOffset][, encoding]). (Trevor Norris) #4803 * child_process: spawn() and spawnSync() now support a 'shell' option to allow for optional execution of the given command inside a shell. If set to true, cmd.exe will be used on Windows and /bin/sh elsewhere. A path to a custom shell can also be passed to override these defaults. On Windows, this option allows .bat. and .cmd files to be executed with spawn() and spawnSync(). (Colin Ihrig) #4598 * http_parser: Update to http-parser 2.6.2 to fix an unintentionally strict limitation of allowable header characters. (James M Snell) #5237 * dgram: socket.send() now supports accepts an array of Buffers or Strings as the first argument. See the API docs for details on how this works. (Matteo Collina) #4374 * http: Fix a bug where handling headers will mistakenly trigger an 'upgrade' event where the server is just advertising its protocols. This bug can prevent HTTP clients from communicating with HTTP/2 enabled servers. (Fedor Indutny) #4337 * net: Added a listening Boolean property to net and http servers to indicate whether the server is listening for connections. (José Moreira) #4743 * node: The C++ node::MakeCallback() API is now reentrant and calling it from inside another MakeCallback() call no longer causes the nextTick queue or Promises microtask queue to be processed out of order. (Trevor Norris) #4507 * tls: Add a new tlsSocket.getProtocol() method to get the negotiated TLS protocol version of the current connection. (Brian White) #4995 * vm: Introduce new 'produceCachedData' and 'cachedData' options to new vm.Script() to interact with V8's code cache. When a new vm.Script object is created with the 'produceCachedData' set to true a Buffer with V8's code cache data will be produced and stored in cachedData property of the returned object. This data in turn may be supplied back to another vm.Script() object with a 'cachedData' option if the supplied source is the same. Successfully executing a script from cached data can speed up instantiation time. See the API docs for details. (Fedor Indutny) #4777 * performance: Improvements in: - process.nextTick() (Ruben Bridgewater) #5092 - path module (Brian White) #5123 - querystring module (Brian White) #5012 - streams module when processing small chunks (Matteo Collina) #4354 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5295

The public key is now computed when explicitly setting a private key. Added validity checks to reduce the possibility of computing weak or invalid shared secrets. Also, deprecated the setPublicKey() method for ECDH objects as its usage is unnecessary and can lead to inconsistent state. (Michael Ruddy) #3511. - Update root certificates from the current list stored maintained by Mozilla NSS.

Notable changes: * buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer, these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2859. * console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) #3166. * fs: - fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) #3163. - (Breaking) In fs.readFile(), if an encoding is specified and the internal toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) #3485. - (Breaking) In fs.read() (using the fs.read(fd, length, position, encoding, callback) form), if the internal toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) #3503. * http: - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) #3342. - (Breaking) When parsing HTTP, don't add duplicates of the following headers: Retry-After, ETag, Last-Modified, Server, Age, Expires. This is in addition to the following headers which already block duplicates: Content-Type, Content-Length, User-Agent, Referer, Host, Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, From, Location, Max-Forwards (James M Snell) #3090. - (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) #3090. - (Breaking) HTTP methods and header names must now conform to the RFC 2616 "token" rule, a list of allowed characters that excludes control characters and a number of separator characters. Specifically, methods and header names must now match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_!#$%&'*+.^`|~-]+$/ or a TypeError will be thrown (James M Snell) #2526. * node: - (Breaking) Deprecated the _linklist module (Rich Trott) #3078. - (Breaking) Removed require.paths and require.registerExtension(), both had been previously set to throw Error when accessed (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2922. * npm: Upgraded to version 3.3.6 from 2.14.7, see https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.6 for more details. This is a major version bump for npm and it has seen a significant amount of change. Please see the original npm v3.0.0 release notes for a list of major changes (Rebecca Turner) #3310. * src: (Breaking) Bumped NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 47 from 46, this is necessary due to the V8 upgrade. Native add-ons will need to be recompiled (Rod Vagg) #3400. * timers: Attempt to reuse the timer handle for setTimeout().unref(). This fixes a long-standing known issue where unrefed timers would perviously hold beforeExit open (Fedor Indutny) #3407. * tls: - Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) #2564. - TLS options can now be passed in an object to createSecurePair() (Коренберг Марк) #2441. - (Breaking) The default minimum DH key size for tls.connect() is now 1024 bits and a warning is shown when DH key size is less than 2048 bits. This a security consideration to prevent "logjam" attacks. A new minDHSize TLS option can be used to override the default. (Shigeki Ohtsu) #1831. * util: - (Breaking) util.p() was deprecated for years, and has now been removed (Wyatt Preul) #3432. - (Breaking) util.inherits() can now work with ES6 classes. This is considered a breaking change because of potential subtle side-effects caused by a change from directly reassigning the prototype of the constructor using `ctor.prototype = Object.create(superCtor.prototype, { constructor: { ... } })` to using `Object.setPrototypeOf(ctor.prototype, superCtor.prototype)` (Michaël Zasso) #3455. * v8: (Breaking) Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) #3351. - Implements the spread operator, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator for further information. - Implements new.target, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new.target for further information. * zlib: Decompression now throws on truncated input (e.g. unexpected end of file) (Yuval Brik) #2595.
