Breaking:

• After upgrading parse5, cheerio temporarily has a minimum Node version of Node 6. See #1585 for details.
• Use the parser's DOM without modifications (#1559 by @fb55)
  • Nodes no longer have a root reference. The root node is now referenced by the parent property.
• Use parse5 to serialize the DOM (04091a4 by @fb55)
  • We will no longer encode non-ASCII characters by default. Please make sure that you pass on the appropriate content encoding.
