This name change has been made in order to better differentiate the Long Term Support releases from the current active development branches. You may have noticed that the v6 release uses the label Current instead of Stable. Both v0.10 and v0.12 are considered to be in Maintenance mode currently and will fall off our support plan completely later this year. If you're still currently using Node.js v0.10 or v0.12, it is time to begin the transition to v4 or v6. Node.js v5 will continue to be supported for the next two months in order to give developers currently using v5 time to transition to Node.js v6.

Use npm rebuild or simply remove your node_modules directory and npm install from scratch. Note that because this new version of Node.js is shipping with a new version of V8, you will need to recompile any native addons you have already installed or you will receive a runtime error when trying to load them. The release notes below are annotated with the main breaking changes that warrant the jump to v6. This means that there is an increased chance for regressions to be introduced. Note that while v6 will eventually transition into LTS, until it does, we will still be actively landing new features (semver-minor).

The new Node.js v6 branch will become the new Active Long Term Support stream in October of this year, and will continue to be supported actively until April of 2018. In accordance with our Long Term Support plan, Node.js v4 'Argon' will continue to be supported as an Active Long Term Support stream until April of 2017, after which it will transition into what we call Maintenance LTS. Module loading is nearly four times faster than in Node.js v4, tests and documentation have seen significant improvements, usability of the Buffer and File System APIs have been improved, and Node.js now supports 93% of ES6 language features, thanks to V8 version 5.0. This new major version of Node.js delivers significant improvements in performance, reliability, usability and security.
It's here! Just three days shy of exactly six months after we released v5.0.0, the Node.js Foundation is happy to announce that Node.js v6 is available and ready for use!
