2017-09-12, Version 8.5.0 (Current), @MylesBorins

Notable Changes

• build
  • Snapshots are now re-enabled in V8
    #14875
• console
  • Implement minimal console.group().
    #14910
• deps
  • upgrade libuv to 1.14.1
    #14866
  • update nghttp2 to v1.25.0
    #14955
• dns
  • Add verbatim option to dns.lookup(). When true, results from the DNS
    resolver are passed on as-is, without the reshuffling that Node.js
    otherwise does that puts IPv4 addresses before IPv6 addresses.
    #14731
• fs
  • add fs.copyFile and fs.copyFileSync which allows for more efficient
    copying of files.
    #15034
• inspector
  • Enable async stack traces #13870
• module
  • Add support for ESM. This is currently behind the --experimental-modules flag
    and requires the .mjs extension.
    node --experimental-modules index.mjs
    #14369
• napi
  • implement promise
    #14365
• os
  • Add support for CIDR notation to the output of the networkInterfaces() method.
    #14307
• perf_hooks
  • An initial implementation of the Performance Timing API for Node.js. This is the
    same Performance Timing API implemented by modern browsers with a number of Node.js
    specific properties. The User Timing mark() and measure() APIs are implemented.
    #14680
• tls
  • multiple PFX in createSecureContext
    #14793
