## 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

* **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**:

## 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.

## 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).

* [[`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`

## 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).

  - 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 (P.S.V.R) [#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/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)
* 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).

## 2015-09-08, 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).

## 2015-09-02, Version 3.3.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **build**: Add a `--link-module` option to `configure` that can be used to bundle additional JavaScript modules into a built binary (Bradley Meck) [#2497](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2497)
* **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._

### 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).

## 2015-08-18, 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 (P.S.V.R) [#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

## 2015-07-04, Version 2.3.3, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **deps**: Fixed an out-of-band write in utf8 decoder. **This is an important security update** as it can be used to cause a denial of service attack.

### 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

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).

## 2015-06-01, 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)

## 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)

## 2015-04-20, Version 1.8.1, @chrisdickinson

### Notable changes

* **NOTICE**: Skipped v1.8.0 due to problems with release tooling.
  See [#1436](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1436) for details.
* **build**: Support for building io.js as a static library (Marat Abdullin) [#1341](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1341)
* **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)

  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

## 2015-04-14, Version 1.7.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **build**: A syntax error in the Makefile for release builds caused 1.7.0 to be DOA and unreleased. (Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1421).

### 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)

## 2015-04-14, Version 1.7.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **C++ API**: Fedor Indutny contributed a feature to V8 which has been backported to the V8 bundled in io.js. `SealHandleScope` allows a C++ add-on author to _seal_ a `HandleScope` to prevent further, unintended allocations within it. Currently only enabled for debug builds of io.js. This feature helped detect the leak in [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075) and is now activated on the root `HandleScope` in io.js. (Fedor Indutny) [#1395](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1395).
* **ARM**: This release includes significant work to improve the state of ARM support for builds and tests. The io.js CI cluster's ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARMv8 build servers are now all (mostly) reporting passing builds and tests.
  * ARMv8 64-bit (AARCH64) is now properly supported, including a backported fix in libuv that was mistakenly detecting the existence of `epoll_wait()`. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1365](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1365).
  * ARMv6: [#1376](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1376) reported a problem with `Math.exp()` on ARMv6 (incl Raspberry Pi). The culprit is erroneous codegen for ARMv6 when using the "fast math" feature of V8. `--nofast_math` has been turned on for all ARMv6 variants by default to avoid this, fast math can be turned back on with `--fast_math`. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1398](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1398).
  * Tests: timeouts have been tuned specifically for slower platforms, detected as ARMv6 and ARMv7. (Roman Reiss) [#1366](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1366).
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.7.6. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.7.6) for details. Summary:
  * [`b747593`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b7475936f473f029e6a027ba1b16277523747d0b)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) Don't automatically log all git failures as errors. `maybeGithub` needs to be able to fail without logging to support its fallback logic. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`78005eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/78005ebb6f4103c20f077669c3929b7ea46a4c0d)[#7743](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7743) Always quote arguments passed to `npm run-script`. This allows build systems and the like to safely escape glob patterns passed as arguments to `run-scripts` with `npm run-script <script> -- <arguments>`. This is a tricky change to test, and may be reverted or moved to `npm@3` if it turns out it breaks things for users. ([@mantoni](https://github.com/mantoni))
  * [`da015ee`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/da015eee45f6daf384598151d06a9b57ffce136e)[#7074](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7074) `read-package-json@1.3.3`: `read-package-json` no longer caches `package.json` files, which trades a very small performance loss for the elimination of a large class of really annoying race conditions. See [#7074](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7074) for the grisly details. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

## 2015-04-06, Version 1.6.4, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.5. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v275-2015-03-26) for details. Includes two important security fixes. Summary:
  * [`300834e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/300834e91a4e2a95fb7fb59c309e7c3fc91d2312)
  `tar@2.0.0`: Normalize symbolic links that point to targets outside the
  extraction root. This prevents packages containing symbolic links from
  overwriting targets outside the expected paths for a package. Thanks to [Tim
  Cuthbertson](http://gfxmonk.net/) and the team at [Lift
  Security](https://liftsecurity.io/) for working with the npm team to identify
  this issue. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`0dc6875`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0dc68757cffd5397c280bc71365d106523a5a052)
  `semver@4.3.2`: Package versions can be no more than 256 characters long.
  This prevents a situation in which parsing the version number can use
  exponentially more time and memory to parse, leading to a potential denial of
  service. Thanks to Adam Baldwin at Lift Security for bringing this to our
  attention.  ([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs))
  * [`eab6184`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/eab618425c51e3aa4416da28dcd8ca4ba63aec41)
  [#7766](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7766) One last tweak to ensure that
  GitHub shortcuts work with private repositories.
  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
  * [`a840a13`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a840a13bbf0330157536381ea8e58d0bd93b4c05)
  [#7746](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7746) Only fix up git URL paths when
  there are paths to fix up. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
* **openssl**: preliminary work has been done for an upcoming upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2a [#1325](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1325) (Shigeki Ohtsu). See [#589](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/589) for additional details.
* **timers**: a minor memory leak when timers are unreferenced was fixed, alongside some related timers issues [#1330](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1330) (Fedor Indutny). This appears to have fixed the remaining leak reported in [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **android**: it is now possible to compile io.js for Android and related devices [#1307](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1307) (Giovanny Andres Gongora Granada).

### 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)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-31, Version 1.6.3, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **fs**: corruption can be caused by `fs.writeFileSync()` and append-mode `fs.writeFile()` and `fs.writeFileSync()` under certain circumstances, reported in [#1058](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1058), fixed in [#1063](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1063) (Olov Lassus).
* **iojs**: an "internal modules" API has been introduced to allow core code to share JavaScript modules internally only without having to expose them as a public API, this feature is for core-only [#848](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/848) (Vladimir Kurchatkin).
* **timers**: two minor problems with timers have been fixed:
  - `Timer#close()` is now properly idempotent [#1288](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1288) (Petka Antonov).
  - `setTimeout()` will only run the callback once now after an `unref()` during the callback [#1231](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1231) (Roman Reiss).
  - NOTE: there are still other unresolved concerns with the timers code, such as [#1152](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1152).
* **Windows**: a "delay-load hook" has been added for compiled add-ons on Windows that should alleviate some of the problems that Windows users may be experiencing with add-ons in io.js [#1251](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1251) (Bert Belder).
* **V8**: minor bug-fix upgrade for V8 to 4.1.0.27.
* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.4. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v274-2015-03-20) for details. Summary:
  * [`1549106`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1549106f518000633915686f5f1ccc6afcf77f8f) [#7641](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7641) Due to 448efd0, running `npm shrinkwrap --dev` caused production dependencies to no longer be included in `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. Whoopsie! ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`fb0ac26`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fb0ac26eecdd76f6eaa4a96a865b7c6f52ce5aa5) [#7579](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7579) Only block removing files and links when we're sure npm isn't responsible for them. This change is hard to summarize, because if things are working correctly you should never see it, but if you want more context, just [go read the commit message](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fb0ac26eecdd76f6eaa4a96a865b7c6f52ce5aa5), which lays it all out. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`051c473`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/051c4738486a826300f205b71590781ce7744f01) [#7552](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7552) `bundledDependencies` are now properly included in the installation context. This is another fantastically hard-to-summarize bug, and once again, I encourage you to [read the commit message](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/051c4738486a826300f205b71590781ce7744f01) if you're curious about the details. The snappy takeaway is that this unbreaks many use cases for `ember-cli`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`fe1bc38`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fe1bc387a14475e373557de669e03d9d006d3173)[#7672](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7672) `npm-registry-client@3.1.2`: Fix client-side certificate handling by correcting property name. ([@atamon](https://github.com/atamon))
  * [`89ce829`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/89ce829a00b526d0518f5cd855c323bffe182af0)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `hosted-git-info@1.5.3`: Part 3 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`63313eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/63313eb0c37891c355546fd1093010c8a0c3cd81)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `realize-package-specifier@2.2.0`: Part 2 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`3ed41bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3ed41bf64a1bb752bb3155c74dd6ffbbd28c89c9)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `npm-package-arg@3.1.1`: Part 1 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

### Known issues

* Some problems exist with timers and `unref()` still to be resolved. See [#1152](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1152).
* Possible small memory leak(s) may still exist but have yet to be properly identified, details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).

* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-23, Version 1.6.2, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **Windows**: The ongoing work in improving the state of Windows support has resulted in full test suite passes once again. As noted in the release notes for v1.4.2, CI system and configuration problems prevented it from properly reporting problems with the Windows tests, the problems with the CI and the codebase appear to have been fully resolved.
* **FreeBSD**: A [kernel bug](https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-March/055043.html) impacting io.js/Node.js was [discovered](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/9326) and a patch has been introduced to prevent it causing problems for io.js (Fedor Indutny) [#1218](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1218).
* **module**: you can now `require('.')` instead of having to `require('./')`, this is considered a bugfix (Michaël Zasso) [#1185](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1185).
* **v8**: updated to 4.1.0.25 including patches for `--max_old_space_size` values above `4096` and Solaris support, both of which are already included in io.js.

### Known issues

* Possible small memory leak(s) may still exist but have yet to be properly identified, details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-20, Version 1.6.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **path**: New type-checking on `path.resolve()` [#1153](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1153) uncovered some edge-cases being relied upon in the wild, most notably `path.dirname(undefined)`. Type-checking has been loosened for `path.dirname()`, `path.basename()`, and `path.extname()` (Colin Ihrig) [#1216](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1216).
* **querystring**: Internal optimizations in `querystring.parse()` and `querystring.stringify()` [#847](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/847) prevented `Number` literals from being properly converted via `querystring.escape()` [#1208](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1208), exposing a blind-spot in the test suite. The bug and the tests have now been fixed (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#1213](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1213).

### Known issues

* Possible remaining TLS-related memory leak(s), details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)

## 2015-03-19, Version 1.6.0, @chrisdickinson

### Notable changes

* **node**: a new `-r` or `--require` command-line option can be used to pre-load modules at start-up (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#881](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/881).
* **querystring**: `parse()` and `stringify()` are now faster (Brian White) [#847](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/847).
* **http**: the `http.ClientRequest#flush()` method has been deprecated and replaced with `http.ClientRequest#flushHeaders()` to match the same change now in Node.js v0.12 as per [joyent/node#9048](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9048) (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1156](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1156).
* **net**: allow `server.listen()` to accept a `String` option for `port`, e.g. `{ port: "1234" }`, to match the same option being accepted in `net.connect()` as of [joyent/node#9268](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9268) (Ben Noordhuis) [#1116](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1116).
* **tls**: further work on the reported memory leak although there appears to be a minor leak remaining for the use-case in question, track progress at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **v8**: backport a fix for an integer overflow when `--max_old_space_size` values above `4096` are used (Ben Noordhuis) [#1166](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1166).
* **platforms**: the io.js CI system now reports passes on **FreeBSD** and **SmartOS** (_Solaris_).
* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.1. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v271-2015-03-05) for details. Summary:
  * [`6823807`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6823807bba) [#7121](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7121) `npm install --save` for Git dependencies saves the URL passed in, instead of the temporary directory used to clone the remote repo. Fixes using Git dependencies when shrinkwwapping. In the process, rewrote the Git dependency caching code. Again. No more single-letter variable names, and a much clearer workflow. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`abdd040`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/abdd040da9) read-package-json@1.3.2: Provide more helpful error messages when JSON parse errors are encountered by using a more forgiving JSON parser than JSON.parse. ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))
  * [`c56cfcd`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c56cfcd79c) [#7525](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7525) `npm dedupe` handles scoped packages. ([@KidkArolis](https://github.com/KidkArolis))
  * [`4ef1412`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4ef1412d00) [#7075](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7075) If you try to tag a release as a valid semver range, `npm publish` and `npm tag` will error early instead of proceeding. ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))

### Known issues

* Possible remaining TLS-related memory leak(s), details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-09, Version 1.5.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **tls**: The reported TLS memory leak has been at least partially resolved via various commits in this release. Current testing indicated that there _may_ still be some leak problems. Track complete progress at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **http**: Fixed an error reported at [joyent/node#9348](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/9348) and [npm/npm#7349](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7349). Pending data was not being fully read upon an `'error'` event leading to an assertion failure on `socket.destroy()`. (Fedor Indutny) [#1103](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1103)

### Known issues

* Possible remaining TLS-related memory leak(s), details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these as a priority. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-06, Version 1.5.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: New `Buffer#indexOf()` method, modelled off [`Array#indexOf()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf). Accepts a String, Buffer or a Number. Strings are interpreted as UTF8. (Trevor Norris) [#561](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/561)
* **fs**: `options` object properties in `'fs'` methods no longer perform a `hasOwnProperty()` check, thereby allowing options objects to have prototype properties that apply. (Jonathan Ong) [#635](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/635)
* **tls**: A likely TLS memory leak was reported by PayPal. Some of the recent changes in **stream_wrap** appear to be to blame. The initial fix is in [#1078](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1078), you can track the progress toward closing the leak at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075) (Fedor Indutny).
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.7.0. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v270-2015-02-26) for details including why this is a semver-minor when it could have been semver-major. Summary:
  * [`145af65`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/145af6587f45de135cc876be2027ed818ed4ca6a)
    [#4887](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4887) Replace calls to the
    `node-gyp` script bundled with npm by passing the
    `--node-gyp=/path/to/node-gyp` option to npm. Swap in `pangyp` or a version
    of `node-gyp` modified to work better with io.js without having to touch
    npm's code!  ([@ackalker](https://github.com/ackalker))
  * [`2f6a1df`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f6a1df3e1e3e0a3bc4abb69e40f59a64204e7aa)
    [#1999](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1999) Only run `stop` and `start`
    scripts (plus their pre- and post- scripts) when there's no `restart` script
    defined. This makes it easier to support graceful restarts of services
    managed by npm.  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) /
    [@scien](https://github.com/scien))
  * [`448efd0`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/448efd0eaa6f97af0889bf47efc543a1ea2f8d7e)
    [#2853](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2853) Add support for `--dev` and
    `--prod` to `npm ls`, so that you can list only the trees of production or
    development dependencies, as desired.
    ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
  * [`a0a8777`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a0a87777af8bee180e4e9321699f050c29ed5ac4)
    [#7463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7463) Split the list printed by
    `npm run-script` into lifecycle scripts and scripts directly invoked via `npm
    run-script`. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
  * [`a5edc17`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a5edc17d5ef1435b468a445156a4a109df80f92b)
    [#6749](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6749) `init-package-json@1.3.1`:
    Support for passing scopes to `npm init` so packages are initialized as part
    of that scope / organization / team. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* **TC**: Colin Ihrig (@cjihrig) resigned from the TC due to his desire to do more code and fewer meetings.

### Known issues

* Possible TLS-related memory leak, details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these as a priority. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-03-02, Version 1.4.3, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **stream**: Fixed problems for platforms without `writev()` support, particularly Windows. Changes introduced in 1.4.1, via [#926](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/926), broke some functionality for these platforms, this has now been addressed. [#1008](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1008) (Fedor Indutny)
* **arm**: We have the very beginnings of ARMv8 / ARM64 / AARCH64 support. An upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2 is one requirement for full support. [#1028](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1028) (Ben Noordhuis)
* Add new collaborator: Julian Duque ([@julianduque](https://github.com/julianduque))

### Known issues

* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these ASAP. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-02-28, Version 1.4.2, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **tls**: A typo introduced in the TLSWrap changes in [#840](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/840) only encountered as a bug on Windows was not caught by the io.js CI system due to problems with the Windows build script and the Windows CI slave configuration, see Known Issues below. Fixed in [#994](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/994) & [#1004](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1004). (Fedor Indutny)
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.6.1. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v260-2015-02-12) for details. Summary:
  * [`8b98f0e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8b98f0e709d77a8616c944aebd48ab726f726f76)
    [#4471](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4471) `npm outdated` (and only `npm
    outdated`) now defaults to `--depth=0`. This also has the excellent but unexpected effect of making `npm update -g` work the way almost everyone wants it to. See the [docs for
    `--depth`](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/82f484672adb1a3caf526a8a48832789495bb43d/doc/misc/npm-config.md#depth)

### Known issues

* Windows support has some outstanding failures that have not been properly picked up by the io.js CI system due to a combination of factors including human, program and Jenkins errors. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005) for details & discussion. Expect these problems to be addressed ASAP.
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)

## 2015-02-26, Version 1.4.1, @rvagg

_Note: version **1.4.0** was tagged and built but not released. A libuv bug was discovered in the process so the release was aborted. The tag was straight after [`a558cd0a61`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/a558cd0a61) but has since been removed. We have jumped to 1.4.1 to avoid confusion._

### Notable changes

* **process** / **promises**: An `'unhandledRejection'` event is now emitted on `process` whenever a `Promise` is rejected and no error handler is attached to the `Promise` within a turn of the event loop. A `'rejectionHandled'` event is now emitted whenever a `Promise` was rejected and an error handler was attached to it later than after an event loop turn. See the [process](https://iojs.org/api/process.html) documentation for more detail. [#758](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/758) (Petka Antonov)
* **streams**: you can now use regular streams as an underlying socket for `tls.connect()` [#926](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/926) (Fedor Indutny)
* **http**: A new `'abort'` event emitted when a `http.ClientRequest` is aborted by the client. [#945](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/945) (Evan Lucas)
* **V8**: Upgrade V8 to 4.1.0.21. Includes an embargoed fix, details should be available at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=430201 when embargo is lifted. A breaking ABI change has been held back from this upgrade, possibly to be included when io.js merges V8 4.2. See [#952](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/952) for discussion.
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.6.0. Includes features to support the new registry and to prepare for `npm@3`. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v260-2015-02-12) for details. Summary:
  * [`38c4825`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/38c48254d3d217b4babf5027cb39492be4052fc2) [#5068](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5068) Add new logout command, and make it do something useful on both bearer-based and basic-based authed clients. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`c8e08e6`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c8e08e6d91f4016c80f572aac5a2080df0f78098) [#6565](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6565) Warn that `peerDependency` behavior is changing and add a note to the docs. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`7c81a5f`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/7c81a5f5f058941f635a92f22641ea68e79b60db) [#7171](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7171) Warn that `engineStrict` in `package.json` will be going away in the next major version of npm (coming soon!) ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
* **libuv**: Upgrade to 1.4.2. See [libuv ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog) for details of fixes.

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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)

## 2015-02-20, Version 1.3.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **url**: `url.resolve('/path/to/file', '.')` now returns `/path/to/` with the trailing slash, `url.resolve('/', '.')` returns `/`. [#278](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/278) (Amir Saboury)
* **tls**: The default cipher suite used by `tls` and `https` has been changed to one that achieves Perfect Forward Secrecy with all modern browsers. Additionally, insecure RC4 ciphers have been excluded. If you absolutely require RC4, please specify your own cipher suites. [#826](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/826) (Roman Reiss)

### Known issues

## 2015-02-10, Version 1.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **stream**:
  - Simpler stream construction, see [readable-stream/issues#102](https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream/issues/102) for details. This extends the streams base objects to make their constructors accept default implementation methods, reducing the boilerplate required to implement custom streams. An updated version of readable-stream will eventually be released to match this change in core. (@sonewman)
* **dns**:
  - `lookup()` now supports an `'all'` boolean option, default to `false` but when turned on will cause the method to return an array of *all* resolved names for an address, see, [#744](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/744) (@silverwind)
* **assert**:
  - Remove `prototype` property comparison in `deepEqual()`, considered a bugfix, see [#636](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/636) (@vkurchatkin)
  - Introduce a `deepStrictEqual()` method to mirror `deepEqual()` but performs strict equality checks on primitives, see [#639](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/639) (@vkurchatkin)
* **tracing**:
  - Add [LTTng](http://lttng.org/) (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) when compiled with the  `--with-lttng` option. Trace points match those available for DTrace and ETW. [#702](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/702) (@thekemkid)
* **docs**:
  - Lots of doc updates, see individual commits
  - New **Errors** page discussing JavaScript errors, V8 specifics, and io.js specific error details. (@chrisdickinson)
* **npm** upgrade to 2.5.1, short changelog:
  - [npm/0e8d473](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0e8d4736a1cbdda41ae8eba8a02c7ff7ce80c2ff) [#7281](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7281) `npm-registry-mock@1.0.0`: Clean up API, set `connection: close`, which makes tests pass on io.js 1.1.x.
  ([@robertkowalski](https://github.com/robertkowalski))
  - [npm/f9313a0](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f9313a066c9889a0ee898d8a35676e40b8101e7f)
  [#7226](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7226) Ensure that all request
  settings are copied onto the agent.
  ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
   - [npm/fec4c96](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fec4c967ee235030bf31393e8605e9e2811f4a39)
  Allow `--no-proxy` to override `HTTP_PROXY` setting in environment.
  ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  - [npm/9d61e96](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/9d61e96fb1f48687a85c211e4e0cd44c7f95a38e)
  `npm outdated --long` now includes a column showing the type of dependency.
  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* **libuv** upgrade to 1.4.0, see [libuv ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog)
* Add new collaborators:
  - Aleksey Smolenchuk (@lxe)
  - Shigeki Ohtsu (@shigeki)

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `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) that should appear in the next patch release.

## 2015-01-14, Version 1.0.1, @rvagg

Rebuild due to stale build slave git reflogs for 1.0.0 release

* doc: improve write style consistency (Rui Marinho)
* win,msi: correct doc website link (Bert Belder)

--------------------------------------

Below is a summary of the user-facing changes to be found in the io.js v1.0.0 release as compared to the
current _stable_ Node.js release, v0.10.35. At the time of the v1.0.0 release, the latest _unstable_
Node.js release is v0.11.14 with much progress made towards a v0.11.15 release. The io.js codebase inherits
the majority of the changes found in the v0.11 branch of the [joyent/node](https://github.com/joyent/node)
repository and therefore can be seen as an extension to v0.11.

## Summary of changes from Node.js v0.10.35 to io.js v1.0.0

### General

- The V8 JavaScript engine bundled with io.js was upgraded dramatically, from version 3.14.5.9 in Node.js v0.10.35 and 3.26.33 in Node.js v0.11.14 to 3.31.74.1 for io.js v1.0.0. This brings along many fixes and performance improvements, as well as additional support for new ES6 language features! For more information on this, check out [the io.js ES6 page](https://iojs.org/es6.html).
- Other bundled technologies were upgraded:
  - c-ares: 1.9.0-DEV to 1.10.0-DEV
  - http_parser: 1.0 to 2.3
  - libuv: 0.10.30 to 1.2.0
  - npm: 1.4.28 to 2.1.18
  - openssl: 1.0.1j to 1.0.1k
  - punycode: 1.2.0 to 1.3.2.
- Performance and stability improvements on all platforms.

### buffer

https://iojs.org/api/buffer.html

- Added `buf.writeUIntLE`, `buf.writeUIntBE`, `buf.writeIntLE`, `buf.writeIntBE`, `buf.readUIntLE`, `buf.readUIntBE`, `buf.readIntLE` and `buf.readIntBE` methods that read and write value up to 6 bytes.
- Added `Buffer.compare()` which does a `memcmp()` on two Buffer instances. Instances themselves also have a `compare()`.
- Added `buffer.equals()` that checks equality of Buffers by their contents.
- Added `new Buffer(otherBuffer)` constructor.
- Tweaked `SlowBuffer`'s semantics.
- Updated the output of `buffer.toJSON()` to not be the same as an array. Instead it is an object specifically tagged as a buffer, which can be recovered by passing it to (a new overload of) the `Buffer` constructor.

### child_process

https://iojs.org/api/child_process.html

- Added a `shell` option to `child_process.exec`.
- Added synchronous counterparts for the child process functions: `child_process.spawnSync`, `child_process.execSync`, and `child_process.execFileSync`.
- Added the path to any `ENOENT` errors, for easier debugging.

### console

https://iojs.org/api/console.html

- Added an `options` parameter to `console.dir`.

### cluster

https://iojs.org/api/cluster.html

- Updated `cluster` to use round-robin load balancing by default on non-Windows platforms. The scheduling policy is configurable however.
- `--debug` has been made cluster-aware.
- Many bug fixes.

### crypto

https://iojs.org/api/crypto.html

- Added support for custom generator values to `DiffieHellman` (defaulting to 2 for backwards compatibility).
- Added support for custom pbkdf2 digest methods.
- Added support for elliptic curve-based Diffie-Hellman.
- Added support for loading and setting the engine for some/all OpenSSL functions.
- Added support for passing in a passphrase for decrypting the signing key to `Sign.sign()`.
- Added support for private key passphrase in every method that accepts it.
- Added support for RSA public/private encryption/decryption functionality.
- Added support for setting and getting of authentication tags and setting additional authentication data when using ciphers such as AES-GCM.

### dgram

https://iojs.org/api/dgram.html

- Added support for receiving empty UDP packets.

### dns

https://iojs.org/api/dns.html

- Added `dns.resolveSoa`, `dns.getServers`, and `dns.setServers` methods.
- Added `hostname` on error messages when available.
- Improved error handling consistency.

### events

https://iojs.org/api/events.html

- Added chaining support to `EventEmitter.setMaxListeners`.
- Updated `require('events')` to return the `EventEmitter` constructor, allowing the module to be used like `var EventEmitter = require('events')` instead of `var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter`.

### fs

https://iojs.org/api/fs.html

- Added `fs.access`, and deprecated `fs.exists`. Please read the documentation carefully.
- Added more informative errors and method call site details when the `NODE_DEBUG` environment is set to ease debugging.
- Added option to `fs.watch` for recursive sub-directory support (OS X only).
- Fixed missing callbacks errors just being printed instead of thrown.

### http

https://iojs.org/api/http.html

- Added support for `response.write` and `response.end` to receive a callback to know when the operation completes.
- Added support for 308 status code (see RFC 7238).

- Added `request.flush` method.
- Added `response.getHeader('header')` method that may be used before headers are flushed.
- Added `response.statusMessage` property.
- Added Client Keep-Alive behavior.  Set `keepAlive:true` in request options to reuse connections indefinitely.
- Added `rawHeaders` and `rawTrailers` members on incoming message.
- Removed default chunked encoding on `DELETE` and `OPTIONS`.

### net

https://iojs.org/api/net.html

- Changed `net.Server.listen` such that, when the bind address is omitted, IPv6 is tried first, and IPv4 is used as a fallback.

### os

https://iojs.org/api/os.html

- Added MAC addresses, netmasks and scope IDs for IPv6 addresses to `os.networkInterfaces` method output.
- Updated `os.tmpdir` on Windows to use the `%SystemRoot%` or `%WINDIR%` environment variables instead of the hard-coded value of `c:\windows` when determining the temporary directory location.

### path

https://iojs.org/api/path.html

- Added `path.isAbsolute` and `path.parse` methods.
- Added `path.win32` and `path.posix` objects that contain platform-specific versions of the various `path` functions.
- Improved `path.join` performance.

### process

https://iojs.org/api/process.html

- Added `process.mainModule` and `process.exitCode`.

### querystring

https://iojs.org/api/querystring.html

- Added the ability to pass custom versions of `encodeURIComponent` and `decodeURIComponent` when stringifying or parsing a querystring.
- Fixed several issues with the formatting of query strings in edge cases.

### smalloc

https://iojs.org/api/smalloc.html

`smalloc` is a new core module for doing (external) raw memory allocation/deallocation/copying in JavaScript.

### streams

https://iojs.org/api/stream.html

The changes to streams are not as drastic as the transition from streams1 to streams2: they are a
refinement of existing ideas, and should make the API slightly less surprising for humans and faster
for computers. As a whole the changes are referred to as "streams3", but the changes should largely go
unnoticed by the majority of stream consumers and implementers.

#### Readable streams

The distinction between "flowing" and "non-flowing" modes has been refined. Entering "flowing" mode is
no longer an irreversible operation&mdash;it is possible to return to "non-flowing" mode from "flowing" mode.
Additionally, the two modes now flow through the same machinery instead of replacing methods. Any time
data is returned as a result of a `.read` call that data will *also* be emitted on the `"data"` event.

As before, adding a listener for the `"readable"` or `"data"` event will start flowing the stream; as
will piping to another stream.

#### Writable streams

The ability to "bulk write" to underlying resources has been added to `Writable` streams. For stream
implementers, one can signal that a stream is bulk-writable by specifying a [_writev](https://iojs.org/api/stream.html#stream_writable_writev_chunks_callback) method.
Bulk writes will occur in two situations:

1. When a bulk-writable stream is clearing its backlog of buffered write requests,
2. or if an end user has made use of the new `.cork()` and `.uncork()` API methods.

`.cork` and `.uncork` allow the end user to control the buffering behavior of writable streams separate
from exerting backpressure. `.cork` indicates that the stream should accept new writes (up to `highWaterMark`),
while `.uncork` resets that behavior and attempts to bulk-write all buffered writes to the underlying resource.

The only core stream API that **currently** implements `_writev` is `net.Socket`.

In addition to the bulk-write changes, the performance of repeated small writes to non-bulk-writable streams
(such as `fs.WriteStream`) has been drastically improved. Users piping high volume log streams to disk should
see an improvement.

For a detailed overview of how streams3 interact, [see this diagram](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/37303/5728694/f9a3e300-9b20-11e4-9e14-a6938b3327f0.png).

### timers

https://iojs.org/api/timers.html

- Removed `process.maxTickDepth`, allowing `process.nextTick` to be used recursively without limit.
- Updated `setImmediate` to process the full queue each turn of the event loop, instead of one per queue.

### tls

https://iojs.org/api/tls.html

- Added `detailed` boolean flag to `getPeerCertificate` to return detailed certificate information (with raw DER bytes).
- Added `renegotiate(options, callback)` method for session renegotiation.
- Added `setMaxSendFragment` method for varying TLS fragment size.
- Added a `dhparam` option for DH ciphers.
- Added a `ticketKeys` option for TLS ticket AES encryption keys setup.
- Added async OCSP-stapling callback.
- Added async session storage events.
- Added async SNI callback.
- Added multi-key server support (for example, ECDSA+RSA server).
- Added optional callback to `checkServerIdentity` for manual certificate validation in userland.
- Added support for ECDSA/ECDHE cipher.
- Implemented TLS streams in C++, boosting their performance.
- Moved `createCredentials` to `tls` and renamed it to `createSecureContext`.
- Removed SSLv2 and SSLv3 support.

### url

https://iojs.org/api/url.html

- Improved escaping of certain characters.
- Improved parsing speed.

### util

https://iojs.org/api/util.html

- Added `util.debuglog`.
- Added a plethora of new type-testing methods. See [the docs](https://iojs.org/api/util.html).
- Updated `util.format` to receive several changes:
  - `-0` is now displayed as such, instead of as `0`.
  - Anything that is `instanceof Error` is now formatted as an error.
  - Circular references in JavaScript objects are now handled for the `%j` specifier.
  - Custom `inspect` functions are now allowed to return an object.
  - Custom `inspect` functions now receive any arguments passed to `util.inspect`.

## v8

https://iojs.org/api/v8.html

`v8` is a new core module for interfacing directly with the V8 engine.

### vm

https://iojs.org/api/vm.html

The `vm` module has been rewritten to work better, based on the excellent [Contextify](https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify) native module. All of the functionality of Contextify is now in core, with improvements!

- Added `vm.isContext(object)` method to determine whether `object` has been contextified.
- Added `vm.runInDebugContext(code)` method to compile and execute `code` inside the V8 debug context.
- Updated `vm.createContext(sandbox)` to "contextify" the sandbox, making it suitable for use as a global for `vm` scripts, and then return it. It no longer creates a separate context object.
- Updated most `vm` and `vm.Script` methods to accept an `options` object, allowing you to configure a timeout for the script, the error display behavior, and sometimes the filename (for stack traces).
- Updated the supplied sandbox object to be used directly as the global, remove error-prone copying of properties back and forth between the supplied sandbox object and the global that appears inside the scripts run by the `vm` module.

For more information, see the `vm` documentation linked above.

### zlib

https://iojs.org/api/zlib.html

- Added support for `zlib.flush` to specify a particular flush method (defaulting to `Z_FULL_FLUSH`).
- Added support for `zlib.params` to dynamically update the compression level and strategy when deflating.
- Added synchronous versions of the zlib methods.

### C++ API Changes

https://iojs.org/api/addons.html

In general it is recommended that you use [NAN](https://github.com/rvagg/nan) as a compatibility layer for your addons. This will also help with future changes in the V8 and Node/io.js C++ API. Most of the following changes are already handled by NAN-specific wrappers.

#### V8 highlights

- Exposed method signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Method(const Arguments& args)` to `void Method(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args)` with the newly introduced `FunctionCallbackInfo` also taking the return value via `args.GetReturnValue().Set(value)` instead of `scope.Close(value)`, `Arguments` has been removed.
- Exposed setter signature has changed from `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<void>& args)`.
- Exposed getter signature has changed from `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
- Exposed property setter signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
- Exposed property getter signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
- Similar changes have been made to property enumerators, property deleters, property query, index getter, index setter, index enumerator, index deleter, index query.
- V8 objects instantiated in C++ now require an `Isolate*` argument as the first argument. In most cases it is OK to simply pass `v8::Isolate::GetCurrent()`, e.g. `Date::New(Isolate::GetCurrent(), time)`, or `String::NewFromUtf8(Isolate::GetCurrent(), "foobar")`.
- `HandleScope scope` now requires an `Isolate*` argument, i.e. `HandleScope scope(isolate)`, in most cases `v8::Isolate::GetCurrent()` is OK.
- Similar changes have been made to `Locker` and `Unlocker`.
- V8 objects that need to "escape" a scope should be enclosed in a `EscapableHandleScope` rather than a `HandleScope` and should be returned with `scope.Escape(value)`.
- Exceptions are now thrown from isolates with `isolate->ThrowException(ExceptionObject)`.
- `Context::GetCurrent()` must now be done on an isolate, e.g. `Isolate::GetCurrent()->GetCurrentContext()`.
- `String::NewSymbol()` has been removed, use plain strings instead.
- `String::New()` has been removed, use `String::NewFromUtf8()` instead.
- `Persistent` objects no longer inherit from `Handle` and cannot be instantiated with another object. Instead, the `Persistent` should simply be declared, e.g. `Persistent<Type> handle` and then have a `Local` assigned to it with `handle.Reset(isolate, value)`. To get a `Local` from a `Persistent` you must instantiate it as the argument, i.e. `Local::New(Isolate*, Persistent)`.

#### Node / io.js

- Updated `node::Buffer::New()` to return a `Handle` directly so you no longer need to fetch the `handle_` property.
- Updated `node::MakeCallback()` to require an `Isolate*` as the first argument. Generally `Isolate::GetCurrent()` will be OK for this.


--------------------------------------

**The changelog below was inherited from joyent/node prior to the io.js fork.**

	SSLv2 or SSLv3. If you want this behavior, run Node.js with either
	`--enable-ssl2` or `--enable-ssl3` respectively.
	This does not change the behavior for users specifically requesting
	`SSLv2_method` or `SSLv3_method`. While this behavior is not advised, it is
	assumed you know what you're doing since you're specifically asking to use
	these methods.
