2016-02-09, Version 5.6.0 (Stable)

This is an important security release. All Node.js users should
consult the security release summary at nodejs.org 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 2.6.0 to 2.6.1
* npm: upgrade npm from 3.3.12 to 3.6.0
  (Rebecca Turner) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4958
* openssl: upgrade from 1.0.2e to 1.0.2f. 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.
