markdown had a dispensation because 2 or more trailing spaces triggers a
new paragraph. There are no examples of that usage in Node, all trailing
whitespace found were mistakes, and the dispensation is now removed.

PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/9186
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)

* buffer: Ignore negative lengths in calls to Buffer() and
Buffer.allocUnsafe(). This fixes a possible security concern
(reported by Feross Aboukhadijeh) where user input is passed
unchecked to the Buffer constructor or allocUnsafe() as it can
expose parts of the memory slab used by other Buffers in the
application. Note that negative lengths are not supported by the
Buffer API and user input to the constructor should always be
sanitised and type-checked.

* npm: Upgrade npm to 3.9.3

* tty: Default to blocking mode for stdio on OS X. A bug fix
in libuv 1.9.0, introduced in Node.js v6.0.0, exposed problems with
Node's use of non-blocking stdio, particularly on OS X which has a
small output buffer. This change should fix CLI applications that
have been having problems with output since Node.js v6.0.0 on OS X.
The core team is continuing to address stdio concerns that exist
across supported platforms and progress can be tracked at
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6980.

The changelog was getting rather huge and difficult
to manage. It also wasn't very useful in terms of
being able to quickly find specific Node.js versions,
or tracking the history for a single major release

This reorganizes the changelog by versions separated
out over multiple files. An index of the most recent
