www/node: 5.11.0 -> 6.0.0
New port: www/node5, to ease migration from node-5.x to node-6.x This new major version of Node.js delivers significant improvements in performance, reliability, usability and security. 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. The full release announcement can be read here: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v6.0.0/ The full changelog is available on Github: https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/ce3e3c5fe15479475c068482c48eb9cbf1ac9df5 For node5: node.js v5.x will only be supported for a few months to give people time to move to v6. This new port is marked as deprecated with an expiration date of July 1, allowing all of May and June to transition.
