2017-09-12, Version 8.5.0 (Current)
Notable Changes
* build:
* Snapshots are now re-enabled in V8
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14875
* console:
* Implement minimal `console.group()`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14910
* deps:
* upgrade libuv to 1.14.1
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14866
* update nghttp2 to v1.25.0
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14955
* dns:
* Add `verbatim` option to dns.lookup(). When true, results from the
DNS resolver are passed on as-is, without the reshuffling that
Node.js otherwise does that puts IPv4 addresses before IPv6
addresses.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14731
* fs:
* add fs.copyFile and fs.copyFileSync which allows for more efficient
copying of files.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/15034
* inspector:
* Enable async stack traces
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13870
* module:

`--experimental-modules` flag and requires the .mjs extension.
`node --experimental-modules index.mjs`
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14369
* napi:
* implement promise
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14365
* os:
* Add support for CIDR notation to the output of the
networkInterfaces() method.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14307
* perf_hooks:
* An initial implementation of the Performance Timing API for
Node.js. This is the same Performance Timing API implemented by
modern browsers with a number of Node.js specific properties. The
User Timing mark() and measure() APIs are implemented, as is a
Node.js specific flavor of the Frame Timing for measuring event
loop duration.

[#13466 ](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13466 )
* **Cluster**
* Users now have more fine-grained control over the inspector port used by
individual cluster workers. Previously, cluster workers would simply
increment from the master's debug port.
[[`dfc46e262a`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/dfc46e262a )]
[#14140 ](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14140 )

2017-07-11, Version 8.1.4 (Current)
This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the
security release summary at
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2017-security-releases/
for details on patched vulnerabilities.
Notable changes
* **build**:
- Disable V8 snapshots - The hashseed embedded in the snapshot is
currently the same for all runs of the binary. This opens node up to
collision attacks which could result in a Denial of Service. We have
temporarily disabled snapshots until a more robust solution is found
(Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
* **deps**:
- CVE-2017-1000381 - The c-ares function ares_parse_naptr_reply(),
which is used for parsing NAPTR responses, could be triggered to
read memory outside of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS
response packet was crafted in a particular way. This patch checks that
there is enough data for the required elements of an NAPTR record (2
int16, 3 bytes for string lengths) before processing a record. (David
Drysdale)
