markdown had a dispensation because 2 or more trailing spaces triggers a
new paragraph. There are no examples of that usage in Node, all trailing
whitespace found were mistakes, and the dispensation is now removed.

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the
security release summary at
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/
for details on patched vulnerabilities.
Notable changes:
* buffer: Zero-fill excess bytes in new `Buffer` objects created with
`Buffer.concat()` while providing a `totalLength` parameter that
exceeds the total length of the original `Buffer` objects being
concatenated. (Сковорода Никита Андреевич)
* http:
- CVE-2016-5325 - Properly validate for allowable characters in the
`reason` argument in `ServerResponse#writeHead()`. Fixes a
possible response splitting attack vector. This introduces a new
case where `throw` may occur when configuring HTTP responses,
users should already be adopting try/catch here. Originally
reported independently by Evan Lucas and Romain Gaucher.
(Evan Lucas)
- Invalid status codes can no longer be sent. Limited to 3 digit
numbers between 100 - 999. Lack of proper validation may also
serve as a potential response splitting attack vector. Backported
from v4.x. (Brian White)
* openssl:
- Upgrade to 1.0.1u, fixes a number of defects impacting Node.js:
CVE-2016-6304 ("OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory
growth", high severity), CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-6303,
CVE-2016-2178 and CVE-2016-6306.
- Remove support for loading dynamic third-party engine modules.
An attacker may be able to hide malicious code to be inserted
into Node.js at runtime by masquerading as one of the dynamic
engine modules. Originally reported by Ahmed Zaki (Skype).
(Ben Noordhuis, Rod Vagg)
* tls: CVE-2016-7099 - Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation
check whereby a TLS server may be able to serve an invalid wildcard
certificate for its hostname due to improper validation of `*.` in
the wildcard string. Originally reported by Alexander Minozhenko
and James Bunton (Atlassian). (Ben Noordhuis)

The changelog was getting rather huge and difficult
to manage. It also wasn't very useful in terms of
being able to quickly find specific Node.js versions,
or tracking the history for a single major release
stream.
This reorganizes the changelog by versions separated
out over multiple files. An index of the most recent
versions is provided in the main log.
