URL parse with parseQueryString returning query object doesn't inherit Object.prototype

• Platform: Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit
• Subsystem:

Calling the parse method for URL with a true parseQueryString parameter returns a query object that doesn't inherit Object.prototype. Noticed this when trying to call the hasOwnProperty prototype method on the query object an it threw a hasOwnProperty is not a function error.

Yes, this was an intentional change. See #6289

Shouldn't #6289 be considered a major breaking change? It has broken code in the wild for a good number of projects. Myself included.

It effectively removed all of the object methods from the query object. That is an API change. Yes?

@esatterwhite That is why it was landed in v6.0.0 and not in any of the v4 or v5 releases.

@bnoordhuis Thanks - I didn't see any mention of it in the v6.0.0 release notes, was trying to drudge through the commit / release history.

I found it in there.
