## 2016-05-05, Version 6.1.0 (Current), @Fishrock123
### Notable Changes
* **assert**: `deep{Strict}Equal()` now works correctly with circular references. (Rich Trott) [#6432](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6432)
* **debugger**: Arrays are now formatted correctly in the debugger repl. (cjihrig) [#6448](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6448)
* **deps**: Upgrade OpenSSL sources to 1.0.2h (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#6550](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6550)
- Please see our [blog post](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-may-2016/) for more info on the security contents of this release.
* **net**: Introduced a `Socket#connecting` property. (Fedor Indutny) [#6404](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6404)
- Previously this information was only available as the undocumented, internal `_connecting` property.
* **process**: Introduced `process.cpuUsage()`. (Patrick Mueller) [#6157](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6157)
* **stream**: `Writable#setDefaultEncoding()` now returns `this`. (Alexander Makarenko) [#5040](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5040)
* **util**: Two new additions to `util.inspect()`:
- Added a `maxArrayLength` option to truncate the formatting of Arrays. (James M Snell) [#6334](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6334)
- This is set to `100` by default.
- Added a `showProxy` option for formatting proxy intercepting handlers. (James M Snell) [#6465](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6465)
- Inspecting proxies is non-trivial and as such this is off by default.
