encodings to another.
Originally part of a proposal to add a new unicode module. Decided
to refactor the approach towrds individual PRs without a new module.

On Windows OS, environment variables are case-insensitive and are
treated likewise in NodeJS. This can be confusing and can lead
to hard-to-debug problems when moving code from one environment
to another.

Discourage using require.extensions because it slows down the module
loader. The number of file system operations that the module system
has to perform in order to resolve a `require(...)` statement to a
filename is proportional to the number of registered extensions.

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

errno is the error code of the error as a number, and code is the error

This has been dragged through various long discussions and has been
elevated to the CTC multiple times.
As noted in
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7455#issuecomment-228961530,
while this API is still generally considered an anti-pattern, there are
still use-cases it is best suited for, such as checking if a git rebase
is in progress by looking if ".git/rebase-apply/rebasing" exists.
The general consensus is to undeprecate just the sync version, given
that the async version still has the "arguments order inconsistency"
problem.
The consensus at the two last CTC meetings this came up at was also
to undeprecate existsSync() but keep exists() deprecated.
