This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the
security release summary at:

https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2017-security-releases/

for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Notable Changes:

* build:
  - Disable V8 snapshots - The hashseed embedded in the snapshot is
    currently the same for all runs of the binary. This opens node
    up to collision attacks which could result in a Denial of Service.
    We have temporarily disabled snapshots until a more robust solution
    is found (Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
* deps:
  - CVE-2017-1000381 - The c-ares function ares_parse_naptr_reply(),
    which is used for parsing NAPTR responses, could be triggered to
    read memory outside of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS
    response packet was crafted in a particular way. This patch checks
    that there is enough data for the required elements of an NAPTR
    record (2 int16, 3 bytes for string lengths) before processing a
    record. (David Drysdale)
