2014.06.09, Version 0.8.27 (maintenance)

- openssl: update to 1.0.0m (CVE-2014-0224)

- utf8: Prevent Node from sending invalid UTF-8 (Felix Geisendörfer)
  - _NOTE_ this introduces a breaking change, previously you could construct
    invalid UTF-8 and invoke an error in a client that was expecting valid
    UTF-8, now unmatched surrogate pairs are replaced with the unknown UTF-8
    character. To restore the old functionality simply have NODE_INVALID_UTF8
    environment variable set.

- tls: fix pool usage race (Fedor Indutny)

- fs: close file if fstat() fails in readFile() (cjihrig)
