Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Node.js is an open-source development platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript run-time, for creating network applications. It uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Also worth mentioning, the npm (NoteJS package manager) is integrated in the nodejs package.
The latest version available is Node.js 0.10.33, which comes with the below changes:
- openssl: Update to 1.0.1j (Addressing multiple CVEs)
- uv: Update to v0.10.29
- child_process: properly support optional args (cjihrig)
- crypto: Disable autonegotiation for SSLv2/3 by default
