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 2.3.0 to 2.3.1
* openssl: upgrade from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1r. 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`
* build:
- xz compressed tar files will be made available from nodejs.org for
v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward
- A headers.tar.gz file will be made available from nodejs.org for
v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward, a future change to node-gyp
will be required to make use of these

Maintenance release
Notable Changes:
* v8: 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.
* openssl: - Upgrade to 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c, introduces DHE
man-in-the-middle protection (Logjam) and fixes malformed

- 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.
* 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.
- Update root certificates from the current list stored maintained
by Mozilla NSS. (Ben Noordhuis) #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
* 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.

Notable changes:
* buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer,
these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2859.
* console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of
accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) #3166.
* fs:
- fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file
descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) #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.
- (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.
* http:
- Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) #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.
- (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a
function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) #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.
* node:
- (Breaking) Deprecated the _linklist module (Rich Trott) #3078.
- (Breaking) Removed require.paths and require.registerExtension(), both had
been previously set to throw Error when accessed
(Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #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 for a list of major changes
(Rebecca Turner) #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.
* 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.
* tls:
- Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) #2564.
- TLS options can now be passed in an object to createSecurePair()
(Коренберг Марк) #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.
* util:
- (Breaking) util.p() was deprecated for years, and has now been removed
(Wyatt Preul) #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.
* v8: (Breaking) Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) #3351.

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.
* http: Guard against response-splitting of HTTP trailing headers
added via response.addTrailers() 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.

Notable changes:
* buffer:
- Due to changes in V8, it has been necessary to reimplement Buffer
on top of V8's Uint8Array. While every effort has been made to
maintain performance, users are likely to experience a different
performance profile depending on how Buffer is used.
(Trevor Norris) #1825.
- Buffer can now take ArrayBuffers as a constructor argument
(Trevor Norris) #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.
* build: PPC support has been added to core to allow compiling on
pLinux BE and LE (AIX support coming soon) (Michael Dawson) #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
* freelist: Deprecate the undocumented freelist core module
(Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2176.
* http:
- Status codes now all use the official IANA names as per RFC7231,
e.g. http.STATUS_CODES[414] now returns 'URI Too Long' rather than
'Request-URI Too Large' (jomo) #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.
* node:
- NODE_MODULE_VERSION has been bumped to 45 to reflect the break in
ABI (Rod Vagg) #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.
- 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* tls: Add server.getTicketKeys() and server.setTicketKeys() methods

- Upgrade to v2.11.3 (Forrest L Norvell) #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.
