DNS
- Independent DNS resolver instances are supported now, with support for cancelling the corresponding requests.
N-API
- Multiple N-API functions for error handling have been changed to support assigning error codes.
REPL
- Autocompletion support for require() has been improved.

- The WHATWG Encoding Standard (TextDecoder and TextEncoder) has been implemented as an experimental feature.
Interestingly, the old version of clang in FreeBSD 10 base was a concern for this release. Thankfully, FreeBSD support did not get downgraded to Experimental status, and the node port will use newer clang from ports.
