It's segfaulting in release mode and asserting in debug mode:

  #
  # Fatal error in ../../deps/v8/src/api.h, line 297
  # CHECK(allow_empty_handle || that != __null) failed
  #

This reverts commit 99f0b022.

Before sending handle to another process using uv_write2(), it should be
referenced to prevent it from being GCed before AfterWrite() will be
called.

see #4599

mainly to allow native addons to export single functions on `exports`
rather than being restricted to operating on an existing `exports`
object.

Init functions now receive exports as the first argument, like
before, but also the module object as the second argument, if they
support it.

* Omit ToObject() call. Buffer::Data() and Buffer::Length() know how
  to deal with Values.

* Don't check if the argument is undefined because it realistically
  never is and undefined->integer coercion achieves the same thing.

Changed types of errors thrown to be more indicative of what the error
represents. Also removed a few unnecessary uses of the v8 fully
quantified typename.

Argument checks were simplified by setting all undefined/NaN or out of
bounds values equal to their defaults.

Also copy() tests had a flaw that each buffer had the same bit pattern at
the same offset. So even if the copy failed, the bit-by-bit comparison
would have still been true. This was fixed by filling each buffer with a
unique value before copy operations.

Fix issue where SlowBuffers couldn't be passed as target to Buffer
copy().

Also included checks to see if Argument parameters are defined before
assigning their values. This offered ~3x's performance gain.

This adds a proxy for bytesWritten to the tls.CryptoStream.  This
change makes the connection object more similar between HTTP and
HTTPS requests in an effort to avoid confusion.

We detect for non-string and non-buffer values in onread and
turn the stream into an "objectMode" stream.

If we are in "objectMode" mode then howMuchToRead will
always return 1, state.length will always have 1 appended
to it when there is a new item and fromList always takes
the first value from the list.

This means that for object streams, the n in read(n) is
ignored and read() will always return a single value

Fixed a bug with unpipe where the pipe would break because
the flowing state was not reset to false.

Fixed a bug with sync cb(null, null) in _read which would
forget to end the readable stream

This is similar to commit 2cbf4586 but this time for 204 No Content
instead of 304 Not Modified responses.

When the user sends a 204 response with a Transfer-Encoding: chunked
header, suppress sending the zero chunk and force the connection to
close.

Removed range checks when writing float values, and removed a few
includes and defines. Also updated api docs to reflect that invalid 32
bit float is an unspecified behavior.

Force the connection to close when the response is a 304 Not Modified
and the user has set a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.

RFC 2616 mandates that 304 responses MUST NOT have a body but node.js
used to send out a zero chunk anyway to accommodate clients that don't
have special handling for 304 responses.

It was pointed out that this might confuse reverse proxies to the point
of creating security liabilities, so suppress the zero chunk and force
the connection to close.

Fix undefined reference to `gelf_getsym`... and other undefined symbols
from libelf, by adding `-lelf` to linker options on FreeBSD.

Every constant is certainly 4 bytes now, but freebsd's objdump utility
prints out odd byte sequences (5-bytes, 6-bytes and even 9-bytes long)
for v8's data section. We can safely ignore all upper bytes, because all
constants that we're using are just `int`s. Since on all supported
platforms `int` is 32bit long (and anyway v8's constants are 32bit too),
we ignore all higher bits if they were read.

Fix an off-by-one error introduced in 9fe3734f that caused a regression
in the default endianness used for writes in DataView::setGeneric().

Fixes #4626.

Since net.Server's `connection` property is deprecated now, we don't
need API to track socket's state to keep `connection`s value up-to-date.

Fix #4589

Due to the nature of asyncronous programming, it's impossible to know
what will run on the next tick.  Because of this, it's not correct to
maintain domain stack state between ticks

Since the _fatalException handler is only invoked after the stack is
unwound, once it exits the tick will end.  The only reasonable thing to
do in that case is to exit *all* domains.

The first example in cluster.markdown requires NODE_DEBUG env to show
debug message.

And also fix the message because it was a little bit different with
the actual message.
