• deps:
  • Updated V8 to 7.6.303.29 (Michaël Zasso) #28955.
    • Improves the performance of various APIs such as JSON.parse and methods
      called on frozen arrays.

    • UV_FS_O_FILEMAP has been added for faster access to memory mapped files on Windows.
    • uv_fs_mkdir() now returns UV_EINVAL for invalid filenames on Windows. It previously returned UV_ENOENT.

    • The uv_os_environ() and uv_os_free_environ() APIs have been added.
• fs:
  • Added fs.writev, fs.writevSync and filehandle.writev (promise version) methods. They allow to write an array of ArrayBufferViews to a file descriptor (Anas Aboureada) #25925, (cjihrig) #29186.
• http:
  • Added three properties to OutgoingMessage.prototype: writableObjectMode, writableLength and writableHighWaterMark #29018.

  • Added an new property writableEnded to writable streams. Its value is set to true after writable.end() has been called. (Robert Nagy) #28934.
