## 2016-03-31, Version 0.10.44 (Maintenance), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* 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. This release of Node.js turns on `OPENSSL_NO_WEAK_SSL_CIPHERS` to fully disable the 27 ciphers included in these lists which can be used in SSLv3 and higher. Full details can be found in our LTS discussion on the matter (https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/issues/85). (Shigeki Ohtsu) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5712

### Notable changes

* **buffer**:
  * make byteLength work with ArrayBuffer & DataView (Jackson Tian) [#5255](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5255)
  * backport --zero-fill-buffers command line option (James M Snell) [#5744](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5744)
  * backport new buffer constructor APIs (James M Snell) [#5763](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5763)
  * add swap16() and swap32() methods (James M Snell) [#5724](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5724)
* **fs**: add the fs.mkdtemp() function. (Florian MARGAINE) [#5333](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5333)
* **net**: emit host in lookup event (HUANG Wei) [#5598](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5598)
* **node**: --no-browser-globals configure flag (Fedor Indutny) [#5853](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5853)
* **npm**: Upgrade to v3.8.3. 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. (Forrest L Norvell) [npm/node#6](https://github.com/npm/node/pull/6)
* **repl**: support standalone blocks (Prince J Wesley) [#5581](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5581)
* **src**: override v8 thread defaults using cli options (Tom Gallacher) [#4344](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4344)

## 2016-03-31, Version 4.4.2 'Argon' (LTS), @thealphanerd

### Notable Changes

* **https**:
  - Under certain conditions ssl sockets may have been causing a memory leak when keepalive is enabled. This is no longer the case. (Alexander Penev) [#5713](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5713)
* **lib**:
  - The way that we were internally passing arguments was causing a potential leak. By copying the arguments into an array we can avoid this. (Nathan Woltman) [#4361](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4361)
* **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. (Forrest L Norvell)
* **repl**:
  - Previously if you were using the repl in strict mode the column number would be wrong in a stack trace. This is no longer an issue. (Prince J Wesley) [#5416](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5416)

## 2016-03-31, Version 0.12.13 (LTS), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* npm: Upgrade to v2.15.1. (Forrest L Norvell)
* openssl: OpenSSL v1.0.1s disables the EXPORT and LOW ciphers as they are obsolete and not considered safe. This release of Node.js turns on `OPENSSL_NO_WEAK_SSL_CIPHERS` to fully disable the 27 ciphers included in these lists which can be used in SSLv3 and higher. Full details can be found in our LTS discussion on the matter (https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/issues/85). (Shigeki Ohtsu) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5712

## 2016-03-16, Version 5.9.0 (Stable), @evanlucas

### Notable changes

* **contextify**: Fixed a memory consumption issue related to heavy use of `vm.createContext` and `vm.runInNewContext`. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5392
* **governance**: The following members have been added as collaborators:
 - Andreas Madsen (@AndreasMadsen)
 - Benjamin Gruenbaum (@benjamingr)
 - Claudio Rodriguez (@claudiorodriguez)
 - Glen Keane (@thekemkid)
 - Jeremy Whitlock (@whitlockjc)
 - Matt Loring (@matthewloring)
 - Phillip Johnsen (@phillipj)
* **lib**: copy arguments object instead of leaking it (Nathan Woltman)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4361
* **src**: allow both -i and -e flags to be used at the same time (Rich Trott)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5655
* **timers**: Internal Node.js timeouts now use the same logic path as those created with `setTimeout()` (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#4007](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4007)
  * This may cause a slightly different performance profile in some situations. So far, it has shown to be positive in most cases.
* **v8**: backport fb4ccae from v8 upstream (Vladimir Krivosheev) #4231
  -  breakout events from v8 to offer better support for external debuggers
* **zlib**: add support for concatenated members (Kári Tristan Helgason)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5120
  * Previously, if multiple members were in the same archive, only the first would be read. The others are no longer thrown away.

## 2016-03-08, Version 4.4.0 'Argon' (LTS), @thealphanerd

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.

### Notable changes

The SEMVER-MINOR changes include:
  * **deps**:
    - An update to v8 that introduces a new flag --perf_basic_prof_only_functions (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#3609](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) [#4482](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4482)
  * **src**:
    - Better support for Big-Endian systems (Bryon Leung) [#3410](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3410)
  * **tls**:
    - A new feature that allows you to pass common SSL options to `tls.createSecurePair` (Коренберг Марк) [#2441](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) [#4021](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) [#4841](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4841)
  * **https**:
    - A potential fix for [#3692](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3692) HTTP/HTTPS client requests throwing EPROTO (Fedor Indutny) [#4982](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4982)
  * **installer**:
    - More readable profiling information from isolate tick logs (Matt Loring) [#3032](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3032)
  * **npm**:
    - upgrade to npm 2.14.20 (Kat Marchán) [#5510](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) [#4798](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4798)
  * **querystring**:
    - querystring.parse() is now 13-22% faster! (Brian White) [#4675](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) [#4354](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4354)
  * **tools**:
    - eslint has been updated to version 2.1.0 (Rich Trott) [#5214](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5214)

## 2016-03-08, Version 0.12.12 (LTS), @rvagg

### 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.

### Commits:

* [dbfc9d9241] - crypto,tls: remove SSLv2 support (Ben Noordhuis) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5536

## 2016-03-04, Version 0.10.43 (Maintenance), @rvagg

### 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. More info is available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0702

  - 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.

## 2016-03-02, Version 4.3.2 'Argon' (LTS), @thealphanerd

This is a security release with only a single commit, an update to openssl due to a recent security advisory. You can read more about the security advisory on [the Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-march-2016/)

### Notable changes

* **openssl**: Upgrade from 1.0.2f to 1.0.2g (Ben Noordhuis) [#5507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5507)
  - 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 [CVE-2016-0705](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 [CVE-2016-0797](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. More info is available at [CVE-2016-0702](https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0702).

## Commits

* [[`c133797d09`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/c133797d09)] - **deps**: upgrade openssl to 1.0.2g (Ben Noordhuis) [#5507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5507)

## 2016-02-23, Version 5.7.0 (Stable), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **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](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buf_fill_value_offset_end_encoding) for details on how this works. (Trevor Norris) [#4935](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4598)
* **http_parser**: Update to http-parser 2.6.2 to fix an unintentionally strict limitation of allowable header characters (James M Snell) [#5237](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5237)
* **dgram**: `socket.send()` now supports accepts an array of Buffers or Strings as the first argument. See the [API docs](https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/v6.0.0-nightly201602102848f84332/docs/api/dgram.html#dgram_socket_send_msg_offset_length_port_address_callback) for details on how this works. (Matteo Collina) [#4374](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4337)
* **net**: Added a `listening` Boolean property to `net` and `http` servers to indicate whether the server is listening for connections. (José Moreira) [#4743](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4507)
* **tls**: Add a new `tlsSocket.getProtocol()` method to get the negotiated TLS protocol version of the current connection. (Brian White) [#4995](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://nodejs.org/api/vm.html#vm_new_vm_script_code_options) for details. (Fedor Indutny) [#4777](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4777)
* **performance**: Improvements in:
  - `process.nextTick()` (Ruben Bridgewater) [#5092](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5092)
  - `path` module (Brian White) [#5123](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5123)
  - `querystring` module (Brian White) [#5012](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5012)
  - `streams` module when processing small chunks (Matteo Collina) [#4354](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4354)

## 2016-02-09, Version 5.6.0 (Stable), @jasnell

This is an important security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at nodejs.org for details on patched vulnerabilities.

### Notable changes

* **http**: fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086) or response splitting (CVE-2016-2216). HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters.
* **http-parser**: upgrade from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1
* **npm**: upgrade npm from 3.3.12 to 3.6.0 (Rebecca Turner) [#4958](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4958)
* **openssl**: upgrade from 1.0.2e to 1.0.2f. To mitigate against the Logjam attack, TLS clients now reject Diffie-Hellman handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024-bits, up from the previous limit of 768-bits.

## 2016-02-09, Version 4.3.0 'Argon' (LTS), @jasnell

This is an important security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at nodejs.org for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Note that this release includes a non-backward compatible change to address a security issue. This change increases the version of the LTS v4.x line to v4.3.0. There will be *no further updates* to v4.2.x.

### Notable changes

* **http**: fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086) or response splitting (CVE-2016-2216). HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters.
* **http-parser**: upgrade from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1
* **openssl**: upgrade from 1.0.2e to 1.0.2f. To mitigate against the Logjam attack, TLS clients now reject Diffie-Hellman handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024-bits, up from the previous limit of 768-bits.
* **src**:
  - introduce new `--security-revert={cvenum}` command line flag for selective reversion of specific CVE fixes
  - allow the fix for CVE-2016-2216 to be selectively reverted using `--security-revert=CVE-2016-2216`

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).

## 2015-12-09, Version 5.2.0 (Stable), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **build**:
  - Add support for Intel's VTune JIT profiling when compiled with `--enable-vtune-profiling`. For more information about VTune, see <https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/544211>. (Chunyang Dai) [#3785](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3785).
  - Properly enable V8 snapshots by default. Due to a configuration error, snapshots have been kept off by default when the intention is for the feature to be enabled. (Fedor Indutny) [#3962](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3962).
* **crypto**:
  - Simplify use of ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) objects (created via `crypto.createECDH(curve_name)`) with private keys that are not dynamically generated via `generateKeys()`. 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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3511).
  - Update root certificates from the current list stored maintained by Mozilla NSS. (Ben Noordhuis) [#3951](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3951).
  - Multiple CA certificates can now be passed with the `ca` option to TLS methods as an array of strings or in a single new-line separated string. (Ben Noordhuis) [#4099](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4099)
* **tools**: Include a tick processor in core, exposed via the `--prof-process` command-line argument which can be used to process V8 profiling output files generated when using the `--prof` command-line argument. (Matt Loring) [#4021](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4021).


### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).

### Notable changes

* **http**: Fix CVE-2015-8027, a bug whereby an HTTP socket may no longer have a parser associated with it but a pipelined request attempts to trigger a pause or resume on the non-existent parser, a potential denial-of-service vulnerability. (Fedor Indutny)
* **openssl**: Upgrade to 1.0.2e, containing fixes for:
  - CVE-2015-3193 "BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64", an attack may be possible against a Node.js TLS server using DHE key exchange. Details are available at <http://openssl.org/news/secadv/20151203.txt>.
  - CVE-2015-3194 "Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter", a potential denial-of-service vector for Node.js TLS servers using client certificate authentication; TLS clients are also impacted. Details are available at <http://openssl.org/news/secadv/20151203.txt>.
  (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#4134](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4134)
* **v8**: Backport fix for CVE-2015-6764, a bug in `JSON.stringify()` that can result in out-of-bounds reads for arrays. (Ben Noordhuis)

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).

## 2015-11-17, Version 5.1.0 (Stable), @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: The `noAssert` option for many buffer functions will now silently drop invalid write values rather than crashing (Minqi Pan) [#3767](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3767).
  - This makes the behavior match what the docs suggest.
* **child_process**: `child.send()` now properly returns a boolean like the docs suggest (Rich Trott) [#3577](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3577).
* **doc**: All of the API docs have been re-ordered so as to read in alphabetical order (Tristian Flanagan) [#3662](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3662).
* **http_parser**: update http-parser to 2.6.0 from 2.5.0 (James M Snell) [#3569](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3569).
  - Now supports the following HTTP methods: `LINK`, `UNLINK`, `BIND`, `REBIND`, `UNBIND`.
  - Also added ACL and IPv6 Zone ID support.
* **npm**: upgrade npm to 3.3.12 from v3.3.6 (Rebecca Turner) [#3685](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3685).
  - See the release notes for [v3.3.7](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.7), [v3.3.8](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.8), [v3.3.9](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.9), [v3.3.10](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.10), [v3.3.11](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.11), and [v3.3.12](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.12) for more details.
* **repl**: The REPL no longer crashes if the [persistent history](https://nodejs.org/api/repl.html#repl_persistent_history) file cannot be opened (Evan Lucas) [#3630](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3630).
* **tls**: The default `sessionIdContext` now uses SHA1 in FIPS mode rather than MD5 (Stefan Budeanu) [#3755](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3755).
* **v8**: Added some more useful post-mortem data (Fedor Indutny) [#3779](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3779).

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).

## 2015-10-29, Version 5.0.0 (Stable), @rvagg

### Notable Changes

* **buffer**: _(Breaking)_ Removed both `'raw'` and `'raws'` encoding types from `Buffer`, these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2859](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2859).
* **console**: _(Breaking)_ Values reported by `console.time()` now have 3 decimals of accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) [#3166](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3166).
* **fs**:
  - `fs.readFile*()`, `fs.writeFile*()`, and `fs.appendFile*()` now also accept a file descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) [#3163](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3503).
* **http**:
  - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) [#3342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3090).
  - _(Breaking)_ The `callback` argument to `OutgoingMessage#setTimeout()` must be a function or a `TypeError` is thrown (James M Snell) [#3090](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2526).
* **node**:
  - _(Breaking)_ Deprecated the `_linklist` module (Rich Trott) [#3078](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3078).
  - _(Breaking)_ Removed `require.paths` and `require.registerExtension()`, both had been previously set to throw `Error` when accessed (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2922](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v300-2015-06-25) for a list of major changes (Rebecca Turner) [#3310](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3407).
* **tls**:
  - Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#2564](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2564).
  - TLS options can now be passed in an object to `createSecurePair()` (Коренберг Марк) [#2441](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1831).
* **util**:
  - _(Breaking)_ `util.p()` was deprecated for years, and has now been removed (Wyatt Preul) [#3432](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3455).
* **v8**: _(Breaking)_ Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35  (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#3351](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/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](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2595).

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).

## 2015-10-13, Version 4.2.1 'Argon' (LTS), @jasnell

### Notable changes

* Includes fixes for two regressions
  - Assertion error in WeakCallback  - see [#3329](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3329)
  - Undefined timeout regression - see [#3331](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3331)

### Known issues

* When a server queues a large amount of data to send to a client over a pipelined HTTP connection, the underlying socket may be destroyed. See [#3332](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3332) and [#3342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3342).
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-09-22, Version 4.1.1 (Stable), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: Fixed a bug introduced in v4.1.0 where allocating a new zero-length buffer can result in the _next_ allocation of a TypedArray in JavaScript not being zero-filled. In certain circumstances this could result in data leakage via reuse of memory space in TypedArrays, breaking the normally safe assumption that TypedArrays should be always zero-filled. (Trevor Norris) [#2931](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2931).
* **http**: Guard against response-splitting of HTTP trailing headers added via [`response.addTrailers()`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_response_addtrailers_headers) by removing new-line (`[\r\n]`) characters from values. Note that standard header values are already stripped of new-line characters. The expected security impact is low because trailing headers are rarely used. (Ben Noordhuis) [#2945](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2945).
* **npm**: Upgrade to npm 2.14.4 from 2.14.3, see [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.4) for full details (Kat Marchán) [#2958](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2958)
  - Upgrades `graceful-fs` on multiple dependencies to no longer rely on monkey-patching `fs`
  - Fix `npm link` for pre-release / RC builds of Node
* **v8**: Update post-mortem metadata to allow post-mortem debugging tools to find and inspect:
  - JavaScript objects that use dictionary properties (Julien Gilli) [#2959](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2959)
  - ScopeInfo and thus closures (Julien Gilli) [#2974](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2974)

## 2015-09-17, Version 4.1.0 (Stable), @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **buffer**:
  - Buffers are now created in JavaScript, rather than C++. This increases the speed of buffer creation (Trevor Norris) [#2866](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2866).
  - `Buffer#slice()` now uses `Uint8Array#subarray()` internally, increasing `slice()` performance (Karl Skomski) [#2777](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2777).
* **fs**:
  - `fs.utimes()` now properly converts numeric strings, `NaN`, and `Infinity` (Yazhong Liu) [#2387](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2387).
  - `fs.WriteStream` now implements `_writev`, allowing for super-fast bulk writes (Ron Korving) [#2167](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2167).
* **http**: Fixed an issue with certain `write()` sizes causing errors when using `http.request()` (Fedor Indutny) [#2824](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2824).
* **npm**: Upgrade to version 2.14.3, see https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.3 for more details (Kat Marchán) [#2822](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2822).
* **src**: V8 cpu profiling no longer erroneously shows idle time (Oleksandr Chekhovskyi) [#2324](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2324).
* **timers**: `#ref()` and `#unref()` now return the timer they belong to (Sam Roberts) [#2905](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2905).
* **v8**: Lateral upgrade to 4.5.103.33 from 4.5.103.30, contains minor fixes (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#2870](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2870).
  - This fixes a previously known bug where some computed object shorthand properties did not work correctly ([#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)).

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435).

## 2015-09-08, Version 4.0.0 (Stable), @rvagg

### Notable changes

This list of changes is relative to the last io.js v3.x branch release, v3.3.0. Please see the list of notable changes in the v3.x, v2.x and v1.x releases for a more complete list of changes from 0.12.x. Note, that some changes in the v3.x series as well as major breaking changes in this release constitute changes required for full convergence of the Node.js and io.js projects.

* **child_process**: `ChildProcess.prototype.send()` and `process.send()` operate asynchronously across all platforms so an optional callback parameter has been introduced that will be invoked once the message has been sent, i.e. `.send(message[, sendHandle][, callback])` (Ben Noordhuis) [#2620](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2620).
* **node**: Rename "io.js" code to "Node.js" (cjihrig) [#2367](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2367).
* **node-gyp**: This release bundles an updated version of node-gyp that works with all versions of Node.js and io.js including nightly and release candidate builds. From io.js v3 and Node.js v4 onward, it will only download a headers tarball when building addons rather than the entire source. (Rod Vagg) [#2700](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2700)
* **npm**: Upgrade to version 2.14.2 from 2.13.3, includes a security update, see https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.2 for more details, (Kat Marchán) [#2696](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2696).
* **timers**: Improved timer performance from porting the 0.12 implementation, plus minor fixes (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#2540](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2540), (Julien Gilli) [nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8751](https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/8751) [nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8905](https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/8905)
* **util**: The `util.is*()` functions have been deprecated, beginning with deprecation warnings in the documentation for this release, users are encouraged to seek more robust alternatives in the npm registry, (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2447](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2447).
* **v8**: Upgrade to version 4.5.103.30 from 4.4.63.30 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#2632](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2632).
 - Implement new `TypedArray` prototype methods: `copyWithin()`, `every()`, `fill()`, `filter()`, `find()`, `findIndex()`, `forEach()`, `indexOf()`, `join()`, `lastIndexOf()`, `map()`, `reduce()`, `reduceRight()`, `reverse()`, `slice()`, `some()`, `sort()`. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray for further information.
 - Implement new `TypedArray.from()` and `TypedArray.of()` functions. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray for further information.
 - Implement arrow functions, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions for further information.
 - Full ChangeLog available at https://github.com/v8/v8-git-mirror/blob/4.5.103/ChangeLog

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

* **docs**: Merge outstanding doc updates from joyent/node (James M Snell) [#2378](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2378)
* **http_parser**: Significant performance improvement by having `http.Server` consume all initial data from its `net.Socket` and parsing directly without having to enter JavaScript. Any `'data'` listeners on the `net.Socket` will result in the data being "unconsumed" into JavaScript, thereby undoing any performance gains. (Fedor Indutny) [#2355](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2355)
* **libuv**: Upgrade to 1.7.3 (from 1.6.1), see [ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog) for details (Saúl Ibarra Corretgé) [#2310](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2310)
* **V8**: Upgrade to 4.4.63.30 (from 4.4.63.26) (Michaël Zasso) [#2482](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2482)

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435).

## 2015-08-25, Version 3.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **events**: Added `EventEmitter#listenerCount(event)` as a replacement for `EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event)`, which has now been marked as deprecated in the docs. (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2349](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2349)
* **module**: Fixed an error with preloaded modules when the current working directory doesn't exist. (Bradley Meck) [#2353](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2353)
* **node**: Startup time is now about 5% faster when not passing V8 flags. (Evan Lucas) [#2483](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2483)
* **repl**: Tab-completion now works better with arrays. (James M Snell) [#2409](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2409)
* **string_bytes**: Fixed an unaligned write in the handling of UCS2 encoding. (Fedor Indutny) [#2480](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2480)
* **tls**: Added a new `--tls-cipher-list` flag that can be used to override the built-in default cipher list. (James M Snell) [#2412](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2412) _Note: it is suggested you use the built-in cipher list as it has been carefully selected to reflect current security best practices and risk mitigation._

## 2015-08-18, Version 3.1.0, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: Fixed a couple large memory leaks (Ben Noordhuis) [#2352](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2352).
* **crypto**:
  - Fixed a couple of minor memory leaks (Karl Skomski) [#2375](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2375).
  - Signing now checks for OpenSSL errors (Minqi Pan) [#2342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2342). **Note that this may expose previously hidden errors in user code.**
* **intl**: Intl support using small-icu is now enabled by default in builds (Steven R. Loomis) [#2264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2264).
  - [`String#normalize()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/normalize) can now be used for unicode normalization.
  - The [`Intl`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl) object and various `String` and `Number` methods are present, but only support the English locale.
  - For support of all locales, node must be built with [full-icu](https://github.com/nodejs/node#build-with-full-icu-support-all-locales-supported-by-icu).
* **tls**: Fixed tls throughput being much lower after an incorrect merge (Fedor Indutny) [#2381](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2381).
* **tools**: The v8 tick processor now comes bundled with node (Matt Loring) [#2090](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2090).
  - This can be used by producing performance profiling output by running node with `--perf`, then running your appropriate platform's script on the output as found in [tools/v8-prof](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/master/tools/v8-prof).
* **util**: `util.inspect(obj)` now prints the constructor name of the object if there is one (Christopher Monsanto) [#1935](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1935).

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435).

## 2015-08-04, Version 3.0.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **buffer**:
  - Due to changes in V8, it has been necessary to reimplement `Buffer` on top of V8's `Uint8Array`. Every effort has been made to minimize the performance impact, however `Buffer` instantiation is measurably slower. Access operations may be faster in some circumstances but the exact performance profile and difference over previous versions will depend on how `Buffer` is used within applications. (Trevor Norris) [#1825](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1825).
  - `Buffer` can now take `ArrayBuffer`s as a constructor argument (Trevor Norris) [#2002](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2002).
  - When a single buffer is passed to `Buffer.concat()`, a new, copied `Buffer` object will be returned; previous behavior was to return the original `Buffer` object (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#1937](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1937).
* **build**: PPC support has been added to core to allow compiling on pLinux BE and LE (AIX support coming soon) (Michael Dawson) [#2124](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2124).
* **dgram**: If an error occurs within `socket.send()` and a callback has been provided, the error is only passed as the first argument to the callback and not emitted on the `socket` object; previous behavior was to do both (Matteo Collina & Chris Dickinson) [#1796](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1796)
* **freelist**: Deprecate the undocumented `freelist` core module (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2176](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2176).
* **http**:
  - Status codes now all use the official [IANA names](http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes) as per [RFC7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231), e.g. `http.STATUS_CODES[414]` now returns `'URI Too Long'` rather than `'Request-URI Too Large'` (jomo) [#1470](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1470).
  - Calling .getName() on an HTTP agent no longer returns a trailing colon, HTTPS agents will no longer return an extra colon near the middle of the string (Brendan Ashworth) [#1617](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1617).
* **node**:
  - `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` has been bumped to `45` to reflect the break in ABI (Rod Vagg) [#2096](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2096).
  - Introduce a new `process.release` object that contains a `name` property set to `'io.js'` and `sourceUrl`, `headersUrl` and `libUrl` (Windows only) properties containing URLs for the relevant resources; this is intended to be used by node-gyp (Rod Vagg) [#2154](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2154).
  - The version of node-gyp bundled with io.js now downloads and uses a tarball of header files from iojs.org rather than the full source for compiling native add-ons; it is hoped this is a temporary floating patch and the change will be upstreamed to node-gyp soon (Rod Vagg) [#2066](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2066).
* **repl**: Persistent history is now enabled by default. The history file is located at ~/.node_repl_history, which can be overridden by the new environment variable `NODE_REPL_HISTORY`. This deprecates the previous `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` variable. Additionally, the format of the file has been changed to plain text to better handle file corruption. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#2224](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2224).
* **smalloc**: The `smalloc` module has been removed as it is no longer possible to provide the API due to changes in V8 (Ben Noordhuis) [#2022](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2022).
* **tls**: Add `server.getTicketKeys()` and `server.setTicketKeys()` methods for [TLS session key](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5077.txt) rotation (Fedor Indutny) [#2227](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2227).
* **v8**: Upgraded to 4.4.63.26
  - ES6: Enabled [computed property names](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#Computed_property_names)
  - ES6: `Array` can now be subclassed in strict mode
  - ES6: Implement [rest parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters) in staging, use the `--harmony-rest-parameters` command line flag
  - ES6: Implement the [spread operator](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator) in staging, use the `--harmony-spreadcalls` command line flag
  - Removed `SetIndexedPropertiesToExternalArrayData` and related APIs, forcing a shift to `Buffer` to be reimplemented based on `Uint8Array`
  - Introduction of `Maybe` and `MaybeLocal` C++ API for objects which _may_ or _may not_ have a value.
  - Added support for PPC

See also https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Breaking-Changes#300-from-2x for a summary of the breaking changes (SEMVER-MAJOR).

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Using multiple REPL instances in parallel may cause some REPL history corruption or loss. [#1634](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1634)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-07-17, Version 2.4.0, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **src**: Added a new `--track-heap-objects` flag to track heap object allocations for heap snapshots (Bradley Meck) [#2135](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2135).
* **readline**: Fixed a freeze that affected the repl if the keypress event handler threw (Alex Kocharin) [#2107](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2107).
* **npm**: Upgraded to v2.13.0, release notes can be found in <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.13.0> (Forrest L Norvell) [#2152](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2152).

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-06-23, Version 2.3.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **module**: The number of syscalls made during a `require()` have been significantly reduced again (see [#1801](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1801) from v2.2.0 for previous work), which should lead to a performance improvement (Pierre Inglebert) [#1920](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1920).
* **npm**:
  * Upgrade to [v2.11.2](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.2) (Rebecca Turner) [#1956](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1956).
  * Upgrade to [v2.11.3](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.3) (Forrest L Norvell) [#2018](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2018).
* **zlib**: A bug was discovered where the process would abort if the final part of a zlib decompression results in a buffer that would exceed the maximum length of `0x3fffffff` bytes (~1GiB). This was likely to only occur during buffered decompression (rather than streaming). This is now fixed and will instead result in a thrown `RangeError` (Michaël Zasso) [#1811](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1811).

### Known issues

## 2015-06-01, Version 2.2.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **http**: Reverts the move of the `client` property of `IncomingMessage` to its prototype. Although undocumented, this property was used and assumed to be an "own property" in the wild, most notably by [request](https://github.com/request/request) which is used by npm. (Michaël Zasso) [#1852](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1852).

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-05-31, Version 2.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **node**: Speed-up `require()` by replacing usage of `fs.statSync()` and `fs.readFileSync()` with internal variants that are faster for this use-case and do not create as many objects for the garbage collector to clean up. The primary two benefits are: significant increase in application start-up time on typical applications and better start-up time for the debugger by eliminating almost all of the thousands of exception events. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1801](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1801).
* **node**: Resolution of pre-load modules (`-r` or `--require`) now follows the standard `require()` rules rather than just resolving paths, so you can now pre-load modules in node_modules. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#1812](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1812).
* **npm**: Upgraded npm to v2.11.0. New hooks for `preversion`, `version`, and `postversion` lifecycle events, some SPDX-related license changes and license file inclusions. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.0) for full details.

## 2015-05-24, Version 2.1.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **crypto**: Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DHE) parameters (`'dhparams'`) must now be 1024 bits or longer or an error will be thrown. A warning will also be printed to the console if you supply less than 2048 bits. See https://weakdh.org/ for further context on this security concern. (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1739](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1739).
* **node**: A new `--trace-sync-io` command line flag will print a warning and a stack trace whenever a synchronous API is used. This can be used to track down synchronous calls that may be slowing down an application. (Trevor Norris) [#1707](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1707).
* **node**: To allow for chaining of methods, the `setTimeout()`, `setKeepAlive()`, `setNoDelay()`, `ref()` and `unref()` methods used in `'net'`, `'dgram'`, `'http'`, `'https'` and `'tls'` now return the current instance instead of `undefined` (Roman Reiss & Evan Lucas) [#1699](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1699) [#1768](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1768) [#1779](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1779).
* **npm**: Upgraded to v2.10.1, release notes can be found in <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.10.1> and <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.10.0>.
* **util**: A significant speed-up (in the order of 35%) for the common-case of a single string argument to `util.format()`, used by `console.log()` (Сковорода Никита Андреевич) [#1749](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1749).

## 2015-05-15, Version 2.0.2, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **win,node-gyp**: the delay-load hook for windows addons has now been correctly enabled by default, it had wrongly defaulted to off in the release version of 2.0.0 (Bert Belder) [#1433](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1433)
* **os**: `tmpdir()`'s trailing slash stripping has been refined to fix an issue when the temp directory is at '/'. Also considers which slash is used by the operating system. (cjihrig) [#1673](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1673)
* **tls**: default ciphers have been updated to use gcm and aes128 (Mike MacCana) [#1660](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1660)
* **build**: v8 snapshots have been re-enabled by default as suggested by the v8 team, since prior security issues have been resolved. This should give some perf improvements to both startup and vm context creation. (Trevor Norris) [#1663](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1663)
* **src**: fixed preload modules not working when other flags were used before `--require` (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1694](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1694)
* **dgram**: fixed `send()`'s callback not being asynchronous (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1313](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1313)
* **readline**: emitKeys now keeps buffering data until it has enough to parse. This fixes an issue with parsing split escapes. (Alex Kocharin) [#1601](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1601)
* **cluster**: works now properly emit 'disconnect' to `cluser.worker` (Oleg Elifantiev) [#1386](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1386)
* **events**: uncaught errors now provide some context (Evan Lucas) [#1654](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1654)

### Notable changes

* **async_wrap**: (Trevor Norris) [#1614](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1614)
  - it is now possible to filter by providers
  - bit flags have been removed and replaced with method calls on the binding object
  - _note that this is an unstable API so feature additions and breaking changes won't change io.js semver_
* **libuv**: resolves numerous io.js issues:
  - [#862](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/862) prevent spawning child processes with invalid stdio file descriptors
  - [#1397](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1397) fix EPERM error with fs.access(W_OK) on Windows
  - [#1621](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1621) build errors associated with the bundled libuv
  - [#1512](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1512) should properly fix Windows termination errors
* **addons**: the `NODE_DEPRECATED` macro was causing problems when compiling addons with older compilers, this should now be resolved (Ben Noordhuis) [#1626](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1626)
* **V8**: upgrade V8 from 4.2.77.18 to 4.2.77.20 with minor fixes, including a bug preventing builds on FreeBSD

## 2015-05-04, Version 2.0.0, @rvagg

### Breaking changes

Full details at https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Breaking-Changes#200-from-1x

* V8 upgrade to 4.2, minor changes to C++ API
* `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and no longer returns a path with a trailing slash on any platform
* While not a *breaking change* the 'smalloc' module has been deprecated in anticipation of it becoming unsupportable with a future upgrade to V8 4.4. See [#1451](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1451)  for further information.

_Note: a new version of the 'url' module was reverted prior to release as it was decided the potential for breakage across the npm ecosystem was too great and that more compatibility work needed to be done before releasing it. See [#1602](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1602) for further information._

### Notable changes

* **crypto**: significantly reduced memory usage for TLS (Fedor Indutny & Сковорода Никита Андреевич) [#1529](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1529)
* **net**: `socket.connect()` now accepts a `'lookup'` option for a custom DNS resolution mechanism, defaults to `dns.lookup()` (Evan Lucas) [#1505](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1505)
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.9.0. See the [v2.8.4](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.8.4) and [v2.9.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.9.0) release notes for details. Notable items:
  - Add support for default author field to make `npm init -y` work without user-input (@othiym23) [npm/npm/d8eee6cf9d](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d8eee6cf9d2ff7aca68dfaed2de76824a3e0d9af)
  - Include local modules in `npm outdated` and `npm update` (@ArnaudRinquin) [npm/npm#7426](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7426)
  - The prefix used before the version number on `npm version` is now configurable via `tag-version-prefix` (@kkragenbrink) [npm/npm#8014](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8014)
* **os**: `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and will no longer returns a path with a trailing slash on any platform (Christian Tellnes) [#747](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/747)
* **process**:
  - `process.nextTick()` performance has been improved by between 2-42% across the benchmark suite, notable because this is heavily used across core (Brian White) [#1571](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1571)
  - New `process.geteuid()`, `process.seteuid(id)`, `process.getegid()` and `process.setegid(id)` methods allow you to get and set effective UID and GID of the process (Evan Lucas) [#1536](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1536)
* **repl**:
  - REPL history can be persisted across sessions if the `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` environment variable is set to a user accessible file, `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_SIZE` can set the maximum history size and defaults to `1000` (Chris Dickinson) [#1513](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1513)
  - The REPL can be placed in to one of three modes using the `NODE_REPL_MODE` environment variable: `sloppy`, `strict` or `magic` (default); the new `magic` mode will automatically run "strict mode only" statements in strict mode (Chris Dickinson) [#1513](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1513)
* **smalloc**: the 'smalloc' module has been deprecated due to changes coming in V8 4.4 that will render it unusable
* **util**: add Promise, Map and Set inspection support (Christopher Monsanto) [#1471](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1471)
* **V8**: upgrade to 4.2.77.18, see the [ChangeLog](https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/refs/heads/4.2.77/ChangeLog) for full details. Notable items:
  - Classes have moved out of staging; the `class` keyword is now usable in strict mode without flags
  - Object literal enhancements have moved out of staging; shorthand method and property syntax is now usable (`{ method() { }, property }`)
  - Rest parameters (`function(...args) {}`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony-rest-parameters` flag
  - Computed property names (`{['foo'+'bar']:'bam'}`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony-computed-property-names` flag
  - Unicode escapes (`'\u{xxxx}'`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony_unicode` flag and the `--harmony_unicode_regexps` flag for use in regular expressions
* **Windows**:
  - Random process termination on Windows fixed (Fedor Indutny)  [#1512](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1512) / [#1563](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1563)
  - The delay-load hook introduced to fix issues with process naming (iojs.exe / node.exe) has been made opt-out for native add-ons. Native add-ons should include `'win_delay_load_hook': 'false'` in their binding.gyp to disable this feature if they experience problems . (Bert Belder) [#1433](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1433)
* **Governance**:
  - Rod Vagg (@rvagg) was added to the Technical Committee (TC)
  - Jeremiah Senkpiel (@Fishrock123) was added to the Technical Committee (TC)

### Known issues

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
* readline: split escapes are processed incorrectly, see [#1403](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1403)

* **deps**: Upgrade openssl to 1.0.2a (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1389](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1389)
  * Users should see performance improvements when using the crypto API.
  See [here](https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Crypto-Performance-Notes-for-OpenSSL-1.0.2a-on-iojs-v1.8.0)
  for details.
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.8.3. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.8.3) for details. Includes improved git support. Summary:
  * [`387f889`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/387f889c0e8fb617d9cc9a42ed0a3ec49424ab5d)
  [#7961](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7961) Ensure that hosted git SSH
  URLs always have a valid protocol when stored in `resolved` fields in
  `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`394c2f5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394c2f5a1227232c0baf42fbba1402aafe0d6ffb)
  Switch the order in which hosted Git providers are checked to `git:`,
  `git+https:`, then `git+ssh:` (from `git:`, `git+ssh:`, then `git+https:`) in
  an effort to go from most to least likely to succeed, to make for less
  confusing error message. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`431c3bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/431c3bf6cdec50f9f0c735f478cb2f3f337d3313)
  [#7699](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7699) `npm-registry-client@6.3.2`:
  Don't send body with HTTP GET requests when logging in.
  ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))

  * [`b027319`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b0273190c71eba14395ddfdd1d9f7ba625297523)
  [#7920](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7920) Scoped packages with
  `peerDependencies` were installing the `peerDependencies` into the wrong
  directory. ([@ewie](https://github.com/ewie))
  * [`6b0f588`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6b0f58877f37df9904490ffbaaad33862bd36dce)
  [#7867](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7867) Use git shorthand and git
  URLs as presented by user. Support new `hosted-git-info` shortcut syntax.
  Save shorthand in `package.json`. Try cloning via `git:`, `git+ssh:`, and
  `git+https:`, in that order, when supported by the underlying hosting
  provider. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
* **src**: Allow multiple arguments to be passed to process.nextTick (Trevor Norris) [#1077](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1077)
* **module**: The interaction of `require('.')` with `NODE_PATH` has been restored and deprecated. This functionality
