Can we get a release for this asap?

@kytwb we're rounding up a few more bugfixes and improvements, so until then you can use version 2.53 unless your code relies on features introduced in 2.54, in that case you can use the latest master in your package.json (not perfect)

"request": "git://github.com/request/request.git"

@simov: Most of our projects build is now broken due to this regression, would rather wait for a release if it's coming soon than changing the package.json in all the projects to finally rollback when the fix is out. Let me know.

Ok, my assumption was that you have fixed dependency versions in your packages, which again my not be ideal but it's safer.

Anyway I understand that this bug is a problem for a lot of people, so it's better to have a new release soon. However there is one more bugfix submitted related to the same issue, then I'm going to make some improvements on that logic that caused the bugs. So we should wait a couple of days, probably till the end of the week.

@simov: Fair enough, thanks for the prompt reply.
