2017-09-12, Version 8.5.0 (Current)

Notable Changes

* build:
  * Snapshots are now re-enabled in V8
  #14875

* console:
  * Implement minimal `console.group()`.
  #14910

* deps:
  * upgrade libuv to 1.14.1
    #14866
  * update nghttp2 to v1.25.0
    #14955

* dns:
  * Add `verbatim` option to dns.lookup(). When true, results from the
    DNS resolver are passed on as-is, without the reshuffling that
    Node.js otherwise does that puts IPv4 addresses before IPv6
    addresses.
    #14731

* fs:
  * add fs.copyFile and fs.copyFileSync which allows for more efficient
    copying of files.
    #15034

* inspector:
  * Enable async stack traces
    #13870

* module:
  * Add support for ESM. This is currently behind the
    `--experimental-modules` flag and requires the .mjs extension.
    `node --experimental-modules index.mjs`
    #14369

* napi:
  * implement promise
    #14365

* os:
  * Add support for CIDR notation to the output of the
    networkInterfaces() method.
    #14307

* perf_hooks:
  * An initial implementation of the Performance Timing API for
    Node.js. This is the same Performance Timing API implemented by
    modern browsers with a number of Node.js specific properties. The
    User Timing mark() and measure() APIs are implemented, as is a
    Node.js specific flavor of the Frame Timing for measuring event
    loop duration.
    #14680

* tls:
  * multiple PFX in createSecureContext
    [#14793](#14793)

* Added new collaborators:
  * BridgeAR – Ruben Bridgewater
