The invalid UTF8 fix has been reverted since this breaks v8 API, which cannot be done in a stable distribution release. This build of nodejs will behave as if NODE_INVALID_UTF8 was set. For more information on the implications, see: http://blog.nodejs.org/2014/06/16/openssl-and-breaking-utf-8-change/
Additionally, a minor bug in v8 has been fixed that caused certain integer comparisons to return true when they should have returned false.
Please note that there is no OpenSSL security fixes as part of this update as there were upstream; nodejs in EPEL uses the system OpenSSL library included with RHEL and thus receives security updates as soon as the "openssl" packages on your system are updated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update v8' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
All packages are signed with the Fedora EPEL GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
