1. 2015-10-29, Version 5.0.0 (Stable) …

   Notable changes:
   
   * buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer,
     these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) nodejs#2859.
   * console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of
     accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) nodejs#3166.
   * fs:
     - fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file
       descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) nodejs#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) nodejs#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) nodejs#3503.
   * http:
     - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) nodejs#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) nodejs#3090.
     - (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a
       function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) nodejs#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) nodejs#2526.
   * node:
     - (Breaking) Deprecated the _linklist module (Rich Trott) nodejs#3078.
     - (Breaking) Removed require.paths and require.registerExtension(), both had
       been previously set to throw Error when accessed
       (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) nodejs#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) nodejs#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) nodejs#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) nodejs#3407.
   * tls:
     - Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) nodejs#2564.
     - TLS options can now be passed in an object to createSecurePair()
       (Коренберг Марк) nodejs#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) nodejs#1831.
   * util:
     - (Breaking) util.p() was deprecated for years, and has now been removed
       (Wyatt Preul) nodejs#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) nodejs#3455.
   * v8: (Breaking) Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) nodejs#3351.
     - Implements the spread operator, see
       https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator
       for further information.
     - Implements new.target, see
       https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new.target
       for further information.
   * zlib: Decompression now throws on truncated input (e.g. unexpected end of
     file) (Yuval Brik) nodejs#2595.
