Release proposal: v5.7.1

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge v5.7.1-proposal into v5.x

Not much meat in here yet. The path.relative(), url.parse() and dgram.send() fixes have not landed yet but there are at least 4 commits queued up in the various pull requests, plus OpenSSL.

Milestone @Fishrock123 put together for this is https://github.com/nodejs/node/milestones/5.7.1

  • path: fix verbose relative() output #5389
  • path: fix win32 relative() when "to" is a prefix #5456
  • url: fix off-by-one error with parse() #5394
  • dgram: handle default address case when offset and length are specified #5407
  • OpenSSL #5433 (closed) ?

We're probably going to have to hold this up until at least we have an OpenSSL risk assessment. Perhaps we can move forward without even needing to bother with an OpenSSL upgrade but more likely we'll include it anyway. Which means the release date will be the 2nd or 3rd, next week.

Will figure out if/how we coordinate across release lines ASAP.

This is all we have so far:

Notable changes

  • governance: The Core Technical Committee (CTC) added four new members to help guide Node.js core development: Evan Lucas, Rich Trott, Ali Ijaz Sheikh and Сковорода Никита Андреевич (Nikita Skovoroda)
