Upcoming 0.10.36 release

[julien...@joyent.com]

Hi everyone,

After Node.js 0.10.35 was released, another regression was found in V8's debugger: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/8948. Also, OpenSSL released new versions of their libraries due to new security vulnerabilities.

The goal of the upcoming 0.10.36 release is to fix these issues. Some other minor issues are (and might be) included too. See https://github.com/joyent/node/issues?q=milestone%3A0.10.36+ for more information on what is currently scheduled to be included in the 0.10.36 release.

The plan so far is to:

1) Get the OpenSSL upgrade PR reviewed. See https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9056 (thanks James!).

2) Make a decision on whether or not  to include https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9017.

3) Proceed with the actual release process.

Depending on how the OpenSSL upgrade goes, the goal is to start the release process this week.

Thank you,

Julien
