## 2017-01-31, Version 7.5.0 (Current), @evanlucas

Thank you to @italoacasas for preparing the majority of this release.

This release contains security fixes to upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.2k.

Although the OpenSSL team have determined a maximum severity rating of "moderate", the Node.js
crypto team (Ben Noordhuis, Shigeki Ohtsu and Fedor Indutny) have determined the impact to Node
users is "low". Details on this determination can be found
[on the Nodejs.org website](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-january-2017/).

### Notable changes

* **crypto**:
  * ability to select cert store at runtime (Adam Majer) [#8334](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8334)
  * Use system CAs instead of using bundled ones (Adam Majer) [#8334](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8334)
* **deps**:
  * upgrade npm to 4.1.2 (Kat Marchán) [#11020](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11020)
  * upgrade openssl sources to 1.0.2k (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#11021](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11021)
* **doc**: add basic documentation for WHATWG URL API (James M Snell) [#10620](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10620)
* **process**: add NODE_NO_WARNINGS environment variable (cjihrig) [#10842](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10842)
* **url**: allow use of URL with http.request and https.request (James M Snell) [#10638](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10638)
