* It had some minor errors in td/th html tags. * Make it clear that v5, v0.10, and v0.12 are EOL and unsupported. We probably don't want people seeing 'LTS' badge next to those in the current Node.js repo and think that those are still supported. Not everyone is aware of the nodejs/LTS repo. This also includes the dates for v5, v0.10 and v0.12 EOL: - 2016-07-01 for v5 - 2016-11-01 for v0.10 - 2017-01-01 for v0.12 * Make v5/v0.10/v0.12 not bold in CHANGELOG Make v5, v0.10, v0.12 not bold in the CHANGELOG.md, as bold is said to be an indication of the most recent actively supported release futher on the same page.

2016-10-192016-10-18 Node.js v6.9.0 'Boron' (LTS) ReleaseRod Vagg
This release marks the transition of Node.js v6 into Long Term Support (LTS) with the codename 'Boron'. The v6 release line now moves in to "Active LTS" and will remain so until April 2018. After that time it will move in to "Maintenance" until end of life in April 2019. This is also a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/october-2016-security-releases/ for details on patched vulnerabilities. Notable changes: * crypto: Don't automatically attempt to load an OpenSSL configuration file, from the `OPENSSL_CONF` environment variable or from the default location for the current platform. Always triggering a configuration file load attempt may allow an attacker to load compromised OpenSSL configuration into a Node.js process if they are able to place a file in a default location. (Fedor Indutny, Rod Vagg) * node: Introduce the `process.release.lts` property, set to `"Boron"`. This value is `"Argon"` for v4 LTS releases and `undefined` for all other releases. (Rod Vagg) * V8: Backport fix for CVE-2016-5172, an arbitrary memory read. The parser in V8 mishandled scopes, potentially allowing an attacker to obtain sensitive information from arbitrary memory locations via crafted JavaScript code. This vulnerability would require an attacker to be able to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a Node.js process. (Rod Vagg) * **v8_inspector**: Generate a UUID for each execution of the inspector. This provides additional security to prevent unauthorized clients from connecting to the Node.js process via the v8_inspector port when running with `--inspect`. Since the debugging protocol allows extensive access to the internals of a running process, and the execution of arbitrary code, it is important to limit connections to authorized tools only. Vulnerability originally reported by Jann Horn. (Eugene Ostroukhov) PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/81
