Notable changes

  • buffer: Added buffer.swap64() to compliment swap16() & swap32(). (Zach Bjornson) #7157
  • build: New configure options have been added for building Node.js as a shared library. (Stefan Budeanu) #6994
    • The options are: --shared, --without-v8-platform & --without-bundled-v8.
  • crypto: Root certificates have been updated. (Ben Noordhuis) #7363
  • debugger: The server address is now configurable via --debug=<address>:<port>. (Ben Noordhuis) #3316
  • npm: Upgraded npm to v3.10.3 (Kat Marchán) #7515 & (Rebecca Turner) #7410
  • readline: Added the prompt option to the readline constructor. (Evan Lucas) #7125
  • repl / vm: sigint/ctrl+c will now break out of infinite loops without stopping the Node.js instance. (Anna Henningsen) #6635
  • src:
    • Added a node::FreeEnvironment public C++ API. (Cheng Zhao) #3098
    • Refactored require('constants'), constants are now available directly from their respective modules. (James M Snell) #6534
  • stream: Improved readable.read() performance by up to 70%. (Brian White) #7077
  • timers: setImmediate() is now up to 150% faster in some situations. (Andras) #6436
  • util: Added a breakLength option to util.inspect() to control how objects are formatted across lines. (cjihrig) #7499
  • v8-inspector: Experimental support has been added for debugging Node.js over the inspector protocol. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) #6792
    • Note: This feature is experimental, and it could be altered or removed.
    • You can try this feature by running Node.js with the --inspect flag.

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: Added `buffer.swap64()` to compliment `swap16()` & `swap32()`. (Zach Bjornson) [#7157](nodejs/node#7157)
* **build**: New `configure` options have been added for building Node.js as a shared library. (Stefan Budeanu) [#6994](nodejs/node#6994)
  - The options are: `--shared`, `--without-v8-platform` & `--without-bundled-v8`.
* **crypto**: Root certificates have been updated. (Ben Noordhuis) [#7363](nodejs/node#7363)
* **debugger**: The server address is now configurable via `--debug=<address>:<port>`. (Ben Noordhuis) [#3316](nodejs/node#3316)

* **readline**: Added the `prompt` option to the readline constructor. (Evan Lucas) [#7125](nodejs/node#7125)
* **repl / vm**: `sigint`/`ctrl+c` will now break out of infinite loops without stopping the Node.js instance. (Anna Henningsen) [#6635](nodejs/node#6635)
* **src**:
  - Added a `node::FreeEnvironment` public C++ API. (Cheng Zhao) [#3098](nodejs/node#3098)
  - Refactored `require('constants')`, constants are now available directly from their respective modules. (James M Snell) [#6534](nodejs/node#6534)
