+
+### Notable Changes
+
+* **buffer**: _(Breaking)_ Removed both `'raw'` and `'raws'` encoding types from `Buffer`, these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2859](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2859).
+* **console**: _(Breaking)_ Values reported by `console.time()` will now have 3 decimals of accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) [#3166](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3166).
+* **fs**:
+  - `fs.readFile*()`, `fs.writeFile*()`, and `fs.appendFile*()` now also accept a file descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) [#3163](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3163).
+  - _(Breaking)_ In `fs.readFile()`, if an encoding is specified and `toString()` fails the error is no longer _thrown_ but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) [#3485](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3485).
+  - _(Breaking)_ In `fs.read()` (using the `fs.read(fd, length, position, encoding, callback)` form), if `toString()` fails the error is no longer _thrown_ but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) [#3503](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3503).
+* **http**:
+  - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) [#3342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3342).
+  - _(Breaking)_ When parsing HTTP, don't add duplicates of the following headers: `Retry-After`, `ETag`, `Last-Modified`, `Server`, `Age`, `Expires`. This is in addition to the following headers which already block duplicates: `Content-Type`, `Content-Length`, `User-Agent`, `Referer`, `Host`, `Authorization`, `Proxy-Authorization`, `If-Modified-Since`, `If-Unmodified-Since`, `From`, `Location`, `Max-Forwards` (James M Snell) [#3090](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3090).
+  - _(Breaking)_ The `callback` argument to `OutgoingMessage#setTimeout()` must be a function or a `TypeError` is thrown (James M Snell) [#3090](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3090).
+  - _(Breaking)_ HTTP methods and header names must now conform to the RFC 2616 "token" rule, a list of allowed characters that excludes control characters and a number of _separator_ characters. Specifically, methods and header names must now match `/^[a-zA-Z0-9_!#$%&'*+.^`|~-]+$/` or a `TypeError` will be thrown (James M Snell) [#2526](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2526).
+* **node**:
+  - _(Breaking)_ Deprecated the `_linklist` module (Rich Trott) [#3078](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3078).
+  - _(Breaking)_ Removed `require.paths` and `require.registerExtension()`, both have been previously set to throw `Error` when accessed (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2922](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2922).
+* **npm**: Upgraded to version 3.3.6 from 2.14.7, see https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.6 for more details. This is a major version bump for npm and it has seen a significant amount of change. Please see the original [npm v3.0.0 release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v300-2015-06-25) for a list of major changes (Rebecca Turner) [#3310](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3310).
+* **src**: _(Breaking)_ Bumped `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` To 47, this is necessary due to the V8 upgrade. Native add-ons will need to be recompiled (Rod Vagg) [#3400](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3400).
+* **timers**: Attempt to reuse the timer handle for `setTimeout().unref()`. This fixes a long-standing known issue where unrefed timers would perviously hold `beforeExit` open (Fedor Indutny) [#3407](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3407).
+* **tls**:
+  - Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#2564](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2564).
+  - TLS options can now be passed in an object to `createSecurePair()` (Коренберг Марк) [#2441](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2441).
+  - _(Breaking)_ The default minimum DH key size for `tls.connect()` is now 1024 bits. This a security consideration to prevent "logjam" attacks. A new `minDHSize` TLS option can be used to override the default. (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1831](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1831).
+* **util**: _(Breaking)_ `util.p()` was deprecated for years, and has now been removed (Wyatt Preul) [#3432](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3432).
+* **v8**: _(Breaking)_ Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35  (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#3351](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3351).
+  - Implements the spread operator, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator for further information.
+  - Implements `new.target`, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new.target for further information.
+* **zlib**: Decompression now throws on truncated input (e.g. unexpected end of file) (Yuval Brik) [#2595](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2595).
+
+### Known issues
+
+* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
+* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
+* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).
+* Unicode characters in filesystem paths are not handled consistently across platforms or Node.js APIs. See [#2088](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2088), [#3401](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3401) and [#3519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3519).
