This is a special LTS to fix a number of regressions that were found
on the 6.10.x release line.
This includes:
* a fix for memory leak in the crypto module that
was introduced in 6.10.1
* a fix for a regression introduced to the windows repl in 6.10.0
* a backported fix for V8 to stop a segfault that could occur
when using spread syntax
It also includes an upgrade to zlib 1.2.11 to fix a numberof low
severity CVEs that were present in zlib 1.2.8.

This is a security release of the 'Boron' release line to upgrade
OpenSSL to version 1.0.2k
Although the OpenSSL team have determined a maximum severity rating
of "moderate", the Node.js crypto team (Ben Noordhuis, Shigeki Ohtsu
and Fedor Indutny) have determined the impact to Node users is "low".
Details on this determination can be found on the Nodejs.org website

* It had some minor errors in td/th html tags.
* Make it clear that v5, v0.10, and v0.12 are EOL and unsupported.
We probably don't want people seeing 'LTS' badge next to those
in the current Node.js repo and think that those are still supported.
Not everyone is aware of the nodejs/LTS repo.
This also includes the dates for v5, v0.10 and v0.12 EOL:
- 2016-07-01 for v5
- 2016-11-01 for v0.10
- 2017-01-01 for v0.12
* Make v5/v0.10/v0.12 not bold in CHANGELOG
Make v5, v0.10, v0.12 not bold in the CHANGELOG.md, as bold is said to
be an indication of the most recent actively supported release futher
on the same page.

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)

engine modules. Originally reported by Ahmed Zaki (Skype).
(Ben Noordhuis) https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/73
* http: CVE-2016-5325 - Properly validate for allowable characters in
the `reason` argument in `ServerResponse#writeHead()`. Fixes a

case where `throw` may occur when configuring HTTP responses, users
should already be adopting try/catch here. Originally reported
independently by Evan Lucas and Romain Gaucher.
(Evan Lucas) https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/60
Semver Patch:
* buffer: Zero-fill excess bytes in new `Buffer` objects created with
`Buffer.concat()` while providing a `totalLength` parameter that
exceeds the total length of the original `Buffer` objects being
concatenated.
(Сковорода Никита Андреевич) https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/64
* src: Fix regression where passing an empty password and/or salt to
crypto.pbkdf2() would cause a fatal error
(Rich Trott) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8572
* tls: CVE-2016-7099 - Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation
check whereby a TLS server may be able to serve an invalid wildcard
certificate for its hostname due to improper validation of `*.` in the
wildcard string. Originally reported by Alexander Minozhenko and
James Bunton (Atlassian).
(Ben Noordhuis) https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/75
