It's incorrect at least for nodejs-7.0.0
Also, use the subst framework rather than a hand-written target.

This new major version of Node.js includes: V8 5.4 which brings along with
98% coverage of ES6 language features, improved reliability and performance,
and a new experimental URL parser based on the WHATWG URL standard.
As an odd numbered release, in accordance with our Long Term Support plan,
Node.js v7 will be supported only until about June, 2017, with Node.js v8
currently scheduled for release in April, 2017.

- streams: Fix a regression introduced in v6.8.0 in readable stream
that caused unpipe to remove the wrong stream
|
|
- crypto: Don't automatically attempt to load an OpenSSL
configuration file, from the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable

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.
- node: Introduce the process.release.lts property, set to "Boron".
This value is "Argon" for v4 LTS releases and undefined for all
other releases.
- V8: Backport fix for CVE-2016-5172, an arbitrary memory read.
- 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.

dynamic engine modules.
- http: CVE-2016-5325 - Properly validate for allowable characters
in the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead().
- 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.

5.10.0
* buffer:
- make byteLength work with ArrayBuffer & DataView
- backport --zero-fill-buffers command line option
- backport new buffer constructor APIs
- add swap16() and swap32() methods
* fs: add the fs.mkdtemp() function.
* net: emit host in lookup event
* node: --no-browser-globals configure flag
* npm: Upgrade to v3.8.3. Fixes a security flaw in the use of
authentication tokens in HTTP requests that would allow an
attacker to set up a server that could collect tokens from
users of the command-line interface. Authentication tokens
have previously been sent with every request made by the CLI
for logged-in users, regardless of the destination of the
request. This update fixes this by only including those
tokens for requests made against the registry or registries
used for the current install.
* repl: support standalone blocks
* src: override v8 thread defaults using cli options
5.9.0
* contextify: Fixed a memory consumption issue related to heavy
use of vm.createContext and vm.runInNewContext.
* lib: copy arguments object instead of leaking it
* src: allow both -i and -e flags to be used at the same time
* timers: Internal Node.js timeouts now use the same logic path
as those created with setTimeout()
* v8: backport fb4ccae from v8 upstream: breakout events from v8
to offer better support for external debuggers
* zlib: add support for concatenated members
|

64-bit build on CentOS.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 5.7.1:
- child_process: send() now accepts an options parameter
- constants: ENGINE_METHOD_RSA is now correctly exposed
- Fixed two regressions which originated in v5.7.0:
- http: Errors inside of http client callbacks now propagate
correctly
- path: Fixed normalization of absolute paths
- repl: start() no longer requires an options parameter
- util: Improved format() performance 50-300%
|
|
|
|
* path.relative():
- Output is no longer unnecessarily verbose
- Resolving UNC paths on Windows now works correctly
- Resolving paths with prefixes now works correctly from
the root directory
* url: Fixed an off-by-one error with parse()
* dgram: Now correctly handles a default address case when offset
and length are specified (Matteo Collina) #5407.
Irrelevant to (dynamically linked) lang/nodejs:
* openssl: Upgrade from 1.0.2f to 1.0.2g
|
|
|
|
* buffer:
- You can now supply an encoding argument when filling a Buffer
Buffer#fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding]), supplying an
existing Buffer will also work with Buffer#fill(buffer[, start[,
end]]). See the API documentation for details on how this works.
- Buffer#indexOf() no longer requires a byteOffset argument if
you also wish to specify an encoding: Buffer#indexOf(val[,
byteOffset][, encoding]).
* child_process: spawn() and spawnSync() now support a 'shell'
option to allow for optional execution of the given command inside
a shell. If set to true, cmd.exe will be used on Windows and
/bin/sh elsewhere. A path to a custom shell can also be passed to
override these defaults. On Windows, this option allows .bat. and
.cmd files to be executed with spawn() and spawnSync().
* http_parser: Update to http-parser 2.6.2 to fix an unintentionally
strict limitation of allowable header characters
* dgram: socket.send() now supports accepts an array of Buffers or
Strings as the first argument. See the API docs for details on how
this works.
* http: Fix a bug where handling headers will mistakenly trigger an
'upgrade' event where the server is just advertising its protocols.
This bug can prevent HTTP clients from communicating with HTTP/2
enabled servers.
* net: Added a listening Boolean property to net and http servers to
indicate whether the server is listening for connections.
* node: The C++ node::MakeCallback() API is now reentrant and
calling it from inside another MakeCallback() call no longer causes
the nextTick queue or Promises microtask queue to be processed out
of order.
* tls: Add a new tlsSocket.getProtocol() method to get the negotiated
TLS protocol version of the current connection.
* vm: Introduce new 'produceCachedData' and 'cachedData' options to
new vm.Script() to interact with V8's code cache. When a new
vm.Script object is created with the 'produceCachedData' set to
true a Buffer with V8's code cache data will be produced and stored
in cachedData property of the returned object. This data in turn
may be supplied back to another vm.Script() object with a
'cachedData' option if the supplied source is the same. Successfully
executing a script from cached data can speed up instantiation time.
* performance: Improvements in:
- process.nextTick()
- path module
- querystring module
- streams module when processing small chunks
|
|
- 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 2.6.0 to 2.6.1
- npm: upgrade npm from 3.3.12 to 3.6.0 (Rebecca Turner) #4958
- openssl: upgrade from 1.0.2e to 1.0.2f. 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.

|
* events: make sure console functions exist (Dave) #4479
* fs: add autoClose option to fs.createWriteStream (Saquib) #3679
* http: improves expect header handling (Daniel Sellers) #4501
* node: allow preload modules with -i (Evan Lucas) #4696
* v8,src: expose statistics about heap spaces (v8.getHeapSpaceStatistics())
(Ben Ripkens) #4463
* Minor performance improvements:
- lib: Use arrow functions instead of bind where possible (Minwoo Jung)
#3622.
- module: cache stat() results more aggressively (Ben Noordhuis) #4575
- querystring: improve parse() performance (Brian White) #4675
|
|
- Minor performance improvements:
- module: move unnecessary work for early return (Andres Suarez) #3579
- Various bug fixes
- Various doc fixes
- Various test improvements
|
|
http:
- A new status code was added: 451 - "Unavailable For Legal Reasons"
- Idle sockets that have been kept alive now handle errors
This release also includes several minor performance improvements:
- assert: deepEqual is now speedier when comparing TypedArrays
- lib: Use arrow functions instead of bind where possible
- node: Improved accessor perf of process.env
- node: Improved performance of process.hrtime()
- node: Improved GetActiveHandles performance
- util: Use faster iteration in util.format()
|
|
- buffer: Buffer.prototype.includes() has been added to keep parity
with TypedArrays.
- domains: Fix handling of uncaught exceptions.
- https: Added support for disabling session caching.
- repl: Allow third party modules to be imported using require().
This corrects a regression from 5.2.0.
- deps: Upgrade libuv to 1.8.0.
|
|
build:
- Add support for Intel's VTune JIT profiling when compiled with
--enable-vtune-profiling.
- 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.
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.
- Update root certificates from the current list stored
maintained by Mozilla NSS.
- 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.
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.
