Release 1.3.0

The most important changes:

• url : url.resolve ('/ path / to / file', '.') now returns the path with a slash at the end, url.resolve ('/', '.') returns "/" # 278 (Amir Saboury).
• tls : The default cipher suite used by tls and https has been changed to provide Perfect Forward Secrecy for all modern browsers. In addition, unsafe RC4 ciphers were excluded from the set. If you can not do without RC4, please indicate your own set of ciphers. # 826 (Roman Reiss)
