2017-07-19, Version 8.2.0 (Current)

Big thanks to @addaleax who prepared the vast majority of this release.

Notable changes:

* **Async Hooks**
  * Multiple improvements to Promise support in `async_hooks` have been made.

* **Build**
  * The compiler version requirement to build Node with GCC has been raised to
    GCC 4.9.4.
    [[`820b011ed6`](nodejs@820b011ed6)]
    [nodejs#13466](nodejs#13466)

* **Cluster**
  * Users now have more fine-grained control over the inspector port used by
    individual cluster workers. Previously, cluster workers would simply
    increment from the master's debug port.
