Breaking changes between v6 LTS and v8 LTS

Authors note: This is highly unfinished copy from shortly after Node 8 became Current.

When editing this page please be as detailed as possible.

For breaking changes in other versions, please see our list of breaking changes per version.

Note to readers: # is synonymous with .prototype., and indicates the property is available on instances of that class. Example: Object#toString() is equivalent to Object.prototype.toString().

assert

[Docs]

• assert.AssertException is now a class, resulting in an updated error message when invoked without the new keyword.
  • Previously, invoking without new would result in a undescriptive TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'name' of function ... error.
  • Refs: [e48d58b8b2], #12651
• When assert.fail() is provided a single argument, it now interprets it as the message parameter.
  • This behavior is equivalent to assert.fail(undefined, undefined, <first argument>).
  • Refs: [758b8b6e5d], #12293
• The deepEqual and deepStrictEqual functions now check equality on the contents of Sets and Maps.
  • Previously, these functions did not deeply compare Sets or Maps and would return true when comparing any two regardless of their contents.
  • Refs: [6481c93aef], #12142
• !!!!!!!!! [efec14a7d1] - (SEMVER-MAJOR) assert: enforce type check in deepStrictEqual (Joyee Cheung) #10282

  • Refs: [682573c11d], #12012
• Buffer#toString() now throws an error if an unknown encoding is passed.
