Notable changes:
* doc:
* The JSON variant of the API documentation is no longer experimental
(Rich Trott) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27842.
* esm:
* JSON module support is always enabled under
`--experimental-modules`. The `--experimental-json-modules` flag
has been removed (Myles Borins)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27752.
* http,http2:
* A new flag has been added for overriding the default HTTP server
socket timeout (which is two minutes). Pass
`--http-server-default-timeout=milliseconds`
or `--http-server-default-timeout=0` to respectively change or
disable the timeout. Starting with Node.js 13.0.0, the timeout will
be disabled by default
(Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27704.
* inspector:
* Added an experimental `--heap-prof` flag to start the V8 heap
profiler on startup and write the heap profile to disk before exit
(Joyee Cheung) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27596.
* stream:
* The `readable.unshift()` method now correctly converts strings to
buffers. Additionally, a new optional argument is accepted to
specify the string's encoding, such as `'utf8'` or `'ascii'`
(Marcos Casagrande) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27194.
* v8:
* The object returned by `v8.getHeapStatistics()` has two new
properties: `number_of_native_contexts` and
`number_of_detached_contexts` (Yuriy Vasiyarov)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27933.
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28040
Notable changes:
* deps:
* Updated llhttp to 1.1.3. This fixes a bug that made Node.js' HTTP
parser refuse any request URL that contained the "|" (vertical bar)
character. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27595
* tls:
* Added an `enableTrace()` method to `TLSSocket` and an `enableTrace`
option to `tls.createServer()`. When enabled, TSL packet trace
information is written to `stderr`. This can be used to debug TLS
connection problems. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27376
* cli:
* Added a `--trace-tls` command-line flag that enables tracing of TLS
connections without the need to modify existing application code.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497
* Added a `--cpu-prof-interval` command-line flag. It can be used to
specify the sampling interval for the CPU profiles generated by
`--cpu-prof`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27535
* module:
* Added the `createRequire()` method. It allows to create a require
function from a file URL object, a file URL string or an absolute
path string. The existing `createRequireFromPath()` method is now
deprecated https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27405.
* Throw on `require('./path.mjs')`. This is technically a breaking
change that should have landed with Node.js 12.0.0. It is necessary
to have this to keep the possibility for a future minor version to
load ES Modules with the require function.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27417
* repl:
* The REPL now supports multi-line statements using `BigInt` literals
as well as public and private class fields and methods.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27400
* The REPL now supports tab autocompletion of file paths with `fs`
methods. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26648
* meta:
* Added Christian Clauss (https://github.com/cclauss) to
collaborators. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27554

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security
release summary at:
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/february-2019-security-releases/
for details on patched vulnerabilities.
Fixes for the following CVEs are included in this release:
* Node.js: Denial of Service with keep-alive HTTP connections
(CVE-2019-5739)
* Node.js: Slowloris HTTP Denial of Service with keep-alive
(CVE-2019-5737)
* OpenSSL: 0-byte record padding oracle (CVE-2019-1559)
Notable Changes:
* deps: OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.2r which contains a fix for
CVE-2019-1559 (https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20190226.txt). Under
certain circumstances, a TLS server can be forced to respond differently to
a client if a zero-byte record is received with an invalid padding
compared to a zero-byte record with an invalid MAC. This can be used as the
basis of a padding oracle attack to decrypt data.
* http:
- Backport `server.keepAliveTimeout` to prevent keep-alive HTTP and HTTPS
connections remaining open and inactive for an extended period of time,
leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS).
(CVE-2019-5739 / Timur Shemsedinov, Matteo Collina)
- Further prevention of "Slowloris" attacks on HTTP and HTTPS
connections by consistently applying the receive timeout set by
`server.headersTimeout` to connections in keep-alive mode. Reported by
Marco Pracucci (https://voxnest.com). (CVE-2019-5737 / Matteo Collina)
