Use the three-argument variant of `AtExit()` or `AddEnvironmentCleanupHook()` instead (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30227 * child_process,cluster: * The `serialization` option is added that allows child process IPC to use the V8 serialization API (to e.g., pass through data types like sets or maps) (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30162 * deps: * Update V8 to 7.9 * Update `npm` to 6.13.0 (Ruy Adorno) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30271 * embedder: * Exposes the ability to pass cli flags / options through an API as embedder (Shelley Vohr) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30466 * Allow adding linked bindings to Environment (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30274 * esm: * Unflag --experimental-modules (Guy Bedford) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29866 * stream: * Add `writable.writableCorked` property (Robert Nagy) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29012 * worker: * Allow specifying resource limits (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26628 * v8: * The Serialization API is now stable (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30234 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30547
2019-11-192019-11-19, Version 12.13.1 'Erbium' (LTS)Michaël Zasso
Notable changes: * Experimental support for building Node.js with Python 3 is improved. * ICU time zone data is updated to version 2019c. This fixes the date offset in Brazil. PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/30352
2019-11-052019-11-05, Version 13.1.0 (Current)Michaël Zasso
Notable changes: * cli: * Added a new flag (`--trace-uncaught`) that makes Node.js print the stack trace at the time of throwing uncaught exceptions, rather than at the creation of the `Error` object, if there is any. This is disabled by default because it affects GC behavior. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30025 * crypto * Added `Hash.prototype.copy()` method. It returns a new `Hash` object with its internal state cloned from the original one. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29910 * dgram * Added source-specific multicast support. This adds methods to Datagram sockets to support RFC 4607 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4607) for IPv4 and IPv6. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/15735 * fs * Added a `bufferSize` option to `fs.opendir()`. It allows to control the number of entries that are buffered internally when reading from the directory. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30114 * meta * Added Chengzhong Wu (https://github.com/legendecas) to collaborators. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30115 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/30262

2019-10-222019-10-22, Version 13.0.0 (Current)Beth Griggs
Notable changes: * assert: * If the validation function passed to `assert.throws()` or `assert.rejects()` returns a value other than `true`, an assertion error will be thrown instead of the original error to highlight the programming mistake (Ruben Bridgewater). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263 * If a constructor function is passed to validate the instance of errors thrown in `assert.throws()` or `assert.reject()`, an assertion error will be thrown instead of the original error (Ruben Bridgewater). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28263 * build: * Node.js releases are now built with default full-icu support. This means that all locales supported by ICU are now included and Intl-related APIs may return different values than before (Richard Lau). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29887 * The minimum Xcode version supported for macOS was increased to 10. It is still possible to build Node.js with Xcode 8 but this may no longer be the case in a future v13.x release (Michael Dawson). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29622 * child_process: * `ChildProcess._channel` (DEP0129) is now a Runtime deprecation (cjihrig). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27949 * console: * The output `console.timeEnd()` and `console.timeLog()` will now automatically select a suitable time unit instead of always using milliseconds (Xavier Stouder). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29251 * deps: * The V8 engine was updated to version 7.8. This includes performance improvements to object destructuring, memory usage and WebAssembly startup time (Myles Borins). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29694) * domain: * The domain's error handler is now executed with the active domain set to the domain's parent to prevent inner recursion (Julien Gilli). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26211 * fs: * The undocumented method `FSWatcher.prototype.start()` was removed (Lucas Holmquist). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29905 * Calling the `open()` method on a `ReadStream` or `WriteStream` now emits a runtime deprecation warning. The methods are supposed to be internal and should not be called by user code (Robert Nagy). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29061 * `fs.read/write`, `fs.readSync/writeSync` and `fd.read/write` now accept any safe integer as their `offset` parameter. The value of `offset` is also no longer coerced, so a valid type must be passed to the functions (Zach Bjornson). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26572 * http: * Aborted requests no longer emit the `end` or `error` events after `aborted` (Robert Nagy). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27984 https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20077 * Data will no longer be emitted after a socket error (Robert Nagy). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28711 * The legacy HTTP parser (previously available under the `--http-parser=legacy` flag) was removed (Anna Henningsen). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29589 * The `host` option for HTTP requests is now validated to be a string value (Giorgos Ntemiris). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29568 * The `request.connection` and `response.connection` properties are now runtime deprecated. The equivalent `request.socket` and `response.socket` should be used instead (Robert Nagy). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29015 * http, http2: * The default server timeout was removed (Ali Ijaz Sheikh). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27558 * Brought 425 status code name into accordance with RFC 8470. The name changed from "Unordered Collection" to "Too Early" (Sergei Osipov). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29880 * lib: * The `error.errno` property will now always be a number. To get the string value, use `error.code` instead (Joyee Cheung). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28140 * module: * `module.createRequireFromPath()` is deprecated. Use `module.createRequire()` instead (cjihrig). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27951 * src: * Changing the value of `process.env.TZ` will now clear the tz cache. This affects the default time zone used by methods such as `Date.prototype.toString` (Ben Noordhuis). https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20026 * stream: * The timing and behavior of streams was consolidated for a number of edge cases. Please look at the individual commits below for more information. PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29504

2019-08-152019-08-15, Version 8.16.1 'Carbon' (LTS)Beth Griggs
This is a security release. Notable changes: Node.js, as well as many other implementations of HTTP/2, have been found vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. See https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-002.md for more information. Vulnerabilities fixed: * CVE-2019-9511 “Data Dribble”: The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9512 “Ping Flood”: The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9513 “Resource Loop”: The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9514 “Reset Flood”: The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU,or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9515 “Settings Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9516 “0-Length Headers Leak”: The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess memory, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9517 “Internal Data Buffering”: The attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write (many of) the bytes on the wire. The attacker then sends a stream of requests for a large response object. Depending on how the servers queue the responses, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9518 “Empty Frames Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or PUSH_PROMISE. The peer spends time processing each frame disproportionate to attack bandwidth. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service. (Discovered by Piotr Sikora of Google) PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29152
2019-08-152019-08-15, Version 10.16.3 'Dubnium' (LTS)Beth Griggs
This is a security release. Notable changes: Node.js, as well as many other implementations of HTTP/2, have been found vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. See https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-002.md for more information. Vulnerabilities fixed: * CVE-2019-9511 “Data Dribble”: The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9512 “Ping Flood”: The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9513 “Resource Loop”: The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9514 “Reset Flood”: The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU,or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9515 “Settings Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9516 “0-Length Headers Leak”: The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess memory, potentially leading to a denial of service. * CVE-2019-9517 “Internal Data Buffering”: The attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write (many of) the bytes on the wire. The attacker then sends a stream of requests for a large response object.

A new `"exports"` field can be added to a module's `package.json` file to provide custom subpath aliasing. See https://github.com/jkrems/proposal-pkg-exports/ for more information. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28568 * http: * Added `response.writableFinished`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28681 * Exposed `headers`, `rawHeaders` and other fields on an `http.ClientRequest` `"information"` event. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28459 * inspector: * Added `inspector.waitForDebugger()`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28453 * policy: * Added `--policy-integrity=sri` CLI option to mitigate policy tampering. If a policy integrity is specified and the policy does not have that integrity, Node.js will error prior to running any code. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28734 * readline,tty: * Exposed stream API from various methods which write characters. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28674 https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28721 * src: * Use cgroups to get memory limits. This improves the way we set the memory ceiling for a Node.js process. Previously we would use the physical memory size to estimate the necessary V8 heap sizes. The physical memory size is not necessarily the correct limit, e.g. if the process is running inside a docker container or is otherwise constrained. This change adds the ability to get a memory limit set by linux cgroups, which is used by docker containers to set resource constraints. https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/ https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27508 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28817
