remark below.
It was inconsistent to keep some of the EOL entries in the table while
removing others (v5.x, v7.x) -- this commit takes care of that.
Instead, release status is hinted in the branch list above, highlighting
two main branches -- Current and Active LTS.
Also update the link to the Release repo.

Notable changes:
An infrastructure issue caused a non-functioning msi installer for x64 to be promoted.
The patch release is to ensure that all binaries and installers work as expected.
Notable changes:
No additional commits.
Due to incorrect staging of the upgrade to the GCC 4.9.X compiler, the
latest releases for PPC little endian were built using GCC 4.9.X
instead of GCC 4.8.X. This caused an ABI breakage on PPCLE based
environments. This has been fixed in our infrastructure and we are
doing this release to ensure that the hosted binaries are adhering to
our platform support contract.
Note that Node.js versions 10.X and later will be built with version
4.9.X or later of the GCC compiler, and it is possible that Node.js
version 9.X may be built on the 4.9.X compiler at a later time as the
stated minimum compiler requirement for Node.js version 9.X is 4.9.4.

for details on patched vulnerabilities.
Fixes for the following CVEs are included in this release:
* CVE-2018-7158
* CVE-2018-7159
* CVE-2018-7160
Notable changes:
* Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2o: Does not contain any security fixes that
are known to impact Node.js.
* **Fix for inspector DNS rebinding vulnerability (CVE-2018-7160)**:
A malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick a web
browser to bypass same-origin-policy checks and allow HTTP
connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network,
potentially to an open inspector port as a debugger, therefore
gaining full code execution access. The inspector now only allows
connections that have a browser `Host` value of `localhost` or
`localhost6`.
* **Fix for `'path'` module regular expression denial of service
(CVE-2018-7158)**: A regular expression used for parsing POSIX an
Windows paths could be used to cause a denial of service if an
attacker were able to have a specially crafted path string passed
through one of the impacted `'path'` module functions.
* **Reject spaces in HTTP `Content-Length` header values
(CVE-2018-7159)**: The Node.js HTTP parser allowed for spaces inside
`Content-Length` header values. Such values now lead to rejected
connections in the same way as non-numeric values.
* **Update root certificates**: 5 additional root certificates have
been added to the Node.js binary and 30 have been removed.
* cluster:
- Add support for `NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect"` (Sameer Srivastava)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19165
* crypto:
- Expose the public key of a certificate (Hannes Magnusson)

* n-api:
- Add `napi_fatal_exception` to trigger an `uncaughtException` in
JavaScript (Mathias Buus)
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19337
* path:
- Fix regression in `posix.normalize` (Michaël Zasso)

* stream:
- Improve stream creation performance (Brian White)
