Node v11.0.0 is released. The focus of this current release is primarily towards improving internals, and performance. It is an update to the stable V8 7.0.
Build: FreeBSD 10 supported is removed.
child_process: The default value of the windowsHide option is now to true.

Under dependencies, the Chrome V8 engine has been updated to the v7.0.
fs: The fs.read() method now needs a callback. The fs.SyncWriteStream utility was deprecated previously, it has now been removed.
http: In Node v11.0.0 the http, https, and tls modules use the WHATWG URL parser by default.
