## 2016-10-18, Version 6.9.0 'Boron' (LTS), @rvagg

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)

### Notable changes

* **fs**:
  - `SyncWriteStream` now inherits from `Stream.Writable`. (Anna Henningsen) [#8830](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8830)
    - Practically, this means that when stdio is piped to a file, stdout and stderr will still be `Writable` streams.

## 2016-09-27, Version 6.7.0 (Current), @evanlucas

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/ for details on patched vulnerabilities.

### Notable changes

Semver Minor:

* **openssl**:
  - Upgrade to 1.0.2i, fixes a number of defects impacting Node.js: CVE-2016-6304 ("OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth", high severity), CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-2178 and CVE-2016-6306. (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#8714](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8714)
  - Upgrade to 1.0.2j, fixes a defect included in 1.0.2i resulting in a crash when using CRLs, CVE-2016-7052. (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#8786](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8786)
  - Remove support for loading dynamic third-party engine modules. An attacker may be able to hide malicious code to be inserted into Node.js at runtime by masquerading as one of the dynamic engine modules. Originally reported by Ahmed Zaki (Skype). (Ben Noordhuis) [nodejs/node-private#73](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 possible response splitting attack vector. This introduces a new 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) [nodejs/node-private#60](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) [nodejs/node-private#64](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) [#8572](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) [nodejs/node-private#75](https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/75)
* **v8**: Fix regression where a regex on a frozen object was broken (Myles Borins) [#8673](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8673)

## 2016-06-02, Version 6.2.1 (Current), @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **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. (Anna Henningsen) [#7051](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7051)
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 3.9.3 (Kat Marchán) [#7030](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7030)
  - [`npm/npm@42d71be`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/42d71be2cec674dd9e860ad414f53184f667620d) [npm/npm#12685](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12685) When using `npm ls <pkg>` without a semver specifier, `npm ls` would skip any packages in your tree that matched by name, but had a prerelease version in their `package.json`. ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
  - [`npm/npm@f04e05`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/df04e05af1f257a1903372e1baf334c0969fbdbd) [npm/npm#10013](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10013) `read-package-tree@5.1.4`: Fixes an issue where `npm install` would fail if your `node_modules` was symlinked. ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
  - [`b894413`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b8944139a935680c4a267468bb2d3c3082b5609f) [#12372](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12372) Changing a nested dependency in an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` and then running `npm install` would not get up the updated package. This corrects that. ([@misterbyrne](https://github.com/misterbyrne))
  - This release includes `npm@3.9.0`, which is the result of our Windows testing push -- the test suite (should) pass on Windows now. We're working on getting AppVeyor to a place where we can just rely on it like Travis.
* **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/issues/6980>. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#6895](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6895)
* **V8**: Upgrade to V8 5.0.71.52. This includes a fix that addresses problems experienced by users of node-inspector since Node.js v6.0.0, see <https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector/issues/864> for details. (Michaël Zasso) [#6928](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6928)

<a id="6.1.0"></a>
## 2016-05-05, Version 6.1.0 (Current), @Fishrock123

### Notable Changes

* **assert**: `deep{Strict}Equal()` now works correctly with circular references. (Rich Trott) [#6432](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6432)
* **debugger**: Arrays are now formatted correctly in the debugger repl. (cjihrig) [#6448](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6448)
* **deps**: Upgrade OpenSSL sources to 1.0.2h (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#6550](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6550)
  - Please see our [blog post](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-may-2016/) for more info on the security contents of this release.
* **net**: Introduced a `Socket#connecting` property. (Fedor Indutny) [#6404](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6404)
  - Previously this information was only available as the undocumented, internal `_connecting` property.
* **process**: Introduced `process.cpuUsage()`. (Patrick Mueller) [#6157](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6157)
* **stream**: `Writable#setDefaultEncoding()` now returns `this`. (Alexander Makarenko) [#5040](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5040)
* **util**: Two new additions to `util.inspect()`:
  - Added a `maxArrayLength` option to truncate the formatting of Arrays. (James M Snell) [#6334](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6334)
    - This is set to `100` by default.
  - Added a `showProxy` option for formatting proxy intercepting handlers. (James M Snell) [#6465](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6465)
    - Inspecting proxies is non-trivial and as such this is off by default.
