This is an important security release. For full details see /blog/vulnerability/february-2016-security-releases/ for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Notable changes:

- http: fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086) or response splitting (CVE-2016-2216). HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters.
- http-parser: upgrade from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1
- openssl: upgrade from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1r. To mitigate against the Logjam attack, TLS clients now reject Diffie-Hellman handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024-bits, up from the previous limit of 768-bits.
- src:
  - introduce new `--security-revert={cvenum}` command line flag for selective reversion of specific CVE fixes
  - allow the fix for CVE-2016-2216 to be selectively reverted using `--security-revert=CVE-2016-2216`
- build:
  - xz compressed tar files will be made available from nodejs.org for v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward
  - A headers.tar.gz file will be made available from nodejs.org for v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward, a future change to node-gyp will be required to make use of these
