### Known issues

See <https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug> for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435).

## 2015-09-02, Version 3.3.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **build**: Add a `--link-module` option to `configure` that can be used to bundle additional JavaScript modules into a built binary (Bradley Meck) [#2497](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2497)
* **docs**: Merge outstanding doc updates from joyent/node (James M Snell) [#2378](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2378)
* **http\_parser**: Significant performance improvement by having `http.Server` consume all initial data from its `net.Socket` and parsing directly without having to enter JavaScript. Any `'data'` listeners on the `net.Socket` will result in the data being "unconsumed" into JavaScript, thereby undoing any performance gains. (Fedor Indutny) [#2355](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2355)
* **libuv**: Upgrade to 1.7.3 (from 1.6.1), see [ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog) for details (Saúl Ibarra Corretgé) [#2310](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2310)
* **V8**: Upgrade to 4.4.63.30 (from 4.4.63.26) (Michaël Zasso) [#2482](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2482)

## 2015-08-25, Version 3.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **events**: Added `EventEmitter#listenerCount(event)` as a replacement for `EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event)`, which has now been marked as deprecated in the docs. (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2349](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2349)
* **module**: Fixed an error with preloaded modules when the current working directory doesn't exist. (Bradley Meck) [#2353](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2353)
* **node**: Startup time is now about 5% faster when not passing V8 flags. (Evan Lucas) [#2483](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2483)
* **repl**: Tab-completion now works better with arrays. (James M Snell) [#2409](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2409)
* **string\_bytes**: Fixed an unaligned write in the handling of UCS2 encoding. (Fedor Indutny) [#2480](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2480)
* **tls**: Added a new `--tls-cipher-list` flag that can be used to override the built-in default cipher list. (James M Snell) [#2412](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2412) _Note: it is suggested you use the built-in cipher list as it has been carefully selected to reflect current security best practices and risk mitigation._

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: Fixed a couple large memory leaks (Ben Noordhuis) [#2352](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2352).
* **crypto**:
  * Fixed a couple of minor memory leaks (Karl Skomski) [#2375](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2375).
  * Signing now checks for OpenSSL errors (Minqi Pan) [#2342](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2342). **Note that this may expose previously hidden errors in user code.**
* **intl**: Intl support using small-icu is now enabled by default in builds (Steven R. Loomis) [#2264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2264).
  * [`String#normalize()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/normalize) can now be used for unicode normalization.
  * The [`Intl`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl) object and various `String` and `Number` methods are present, but only support the English locale.
  * For support of all locales, node must be built with [full-icu](https://github.com/nodejs/node#build-with-full-icu-support-all-locales-supported-by-icu).

## 2015-08-04, Version 3.0.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **buffer**:
  * Due to changes in V8, it has been necessary to reimplement `Buffer` on top of V8's `Uint8Array`. Every effort has been made to minimize the performance impact, however `Buffer` instantiation is measurably slower. Access operations may be faster in some circumstances but the exact performance profile and difference over previous versions will depend on how `Buffer` is used within applications. (Trevor Norris) [#1825](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1825).
  * `Buffer` can now take `ArrayBuffer`s as a constructor argument (Trevor Norris) [#2002](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2002).
  * When a single buffer is passed to `Buffer.concat()`, a new, copied `Buffer` object will be returned; previous behavior was to return the original `Buffer` object (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#1937](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1937).
* **build**: PPC support has been added to core to allow compiling on pLinux BE and LE (AIX support coming soon) (Michael Dawson) [#2124](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2124).
* **dgram**: If an error occurs within `socket.send()` and a callback has been provided, the error is only passed as the first argument to the callback and not emitted on the `socket` object; previous behavior was to do both (Matteo Collina & Chris Dickinson) [#1796](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1796)
* **freelist**: Deprecate the undocumented `freelist` core module (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2176](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2176).
* **http**:
  * Status codes now all use the official [IANA names](https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes) as per [RFC7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231), e.g. `http.STATUS_CODES[414]` now returns `'URI Too Long'` rather than `'Request-URI Too Large'` (jomo) [#1470](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1470).
  * Calling .getName() on an HTTP agent no longer returns a trailing colon, HTTPS agents will no longer return an extra colon near the middle of the string (Brendan Ashworth) [#1617](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1617).
* **node**:
  * `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` has been bumped to `45` to reflect the break in ABI (Rod Vagg) [#2096](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2096).
  * Introduce a new `process.release` object that contains a `name` property set to `'io.js'` and `sourceUrl`, `headersUrl` and `libUrl` (Windows only) properties containing URLs for the relevant resources; this is intended to be used by node-gyp (Rod Vagg) [#2154](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2154).
  * The version of node-gyp bundled with io.js now downloads and uses a tarball of header files from iojs.org rather than the full source for compiling native add-ons; it is hoped this is a temporary floating patch and the change will be upstreamed to node-gyp soon (Rod Vagg) [#2066](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2066).
* **repl**: Persistent history is now enabled by default. The history file is located at \~/.node\_repl\_history, which can be overridden by the new environment variable `NODE_REPL_HISTORY`. This deprecates the previous `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` variable. Additionally, the format of the file has been changed to plain text to better handle file corruption. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#2224](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2224).
* **smalloc**: The `smalloc` module has been removed as it is no longer possible to provide the API due to changes in V8 (Ben Noordhuis) [#2022](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2022).
* **tls**: Add `server.getTicketKeys()` and `server.setTicketKeys()` methods for [TLS session key](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5077.txt) rotation (Fedor Indutny) [#2227](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2227).
* **v8**: Upgraded to 4.4.63.26
  * ES6: Enabled [computed property names](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#Computed_property_names)
  * ES6: `Array` can now be subclassed in strict mode
  * ES6: Implement [rest parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters) in staging, use the `--harmony-rest-parameters` command line flag
  * ES6: Implement the [spread operator](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator) in staging, use the `--harmony-spreadcalls` command line flag
  * Removed `SetIndexedPropertiesToExternalArrayData` and related APIs, forcing a shift to `Buffer` to be reimplemented based on `Uint8Array`
  * Introduction of `Maybe` and `MaybeLocal` C++ API for objects which _may_ or _may not_ have a value.
  * Added support for PPC

## 2015-06-23, Version 2.3.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **module**: The number of syscalls made during a `require()` have been significantly reduced again (see [#1801](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1801) from v2.2.0 for previous work), which should lead to a performance improvement (Pierre Inglebert) [#1920](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1920).
* **npm**:
  * Upgrade to [v2.11.2](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.2) (Rebecca Turner) [#1956](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1956).
  * Upgrade to [v2.11.3](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.3) (Forrest L Norvell) [#2018](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2018).
* **zlib**: A bug was discovered where the process would abort if the final part of a zlib decompression results in a buffer that would exceed the maximum length of `0x3fffffff` bytes (\~1GiB). This was likely to only occur during buffered decompression (rather than streaming). This is now fixed and will instead result in a thrown `RangeError` (Michaël Zasso) [#1811](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1811).

### Known issues

See <https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug> for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-06-01, Version 2.2.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **http**: Reverts the move of the `client` property of `IncomingMessage` to its prototype. Although undocumented, this property was used and assumed to be an "own property" in the wild, most notably by [request](https://github.com/request/request) which is used by npm. (Michaël Zasso) [#1852](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1852).

### Known issues

See <https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug> for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-05-31, Version 2.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **node**: Speed-up `require()` by replacing usage of `fs.statSync()` and `fs.readFileSync()` with internal variants that are faster for this use-case and do not create as many objects for the garbage collector to clean up. The primary two benefits are: significant increase in application start-up time on typical applications and better start-up time for the debugger by eliminating almost all of the thousands of exception events. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1801](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1801).
* **node**: Resolution of pre-load modules (`-r` or `--require`) now follows the standard `require()` rules rather than just resolving paths, so you can now pre-load modules in node\_modules. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#1812](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1812).
* **npm**: Upgraded npm to v2.11.0. New hooks for `preversion`, `version`, and `postversion` lifecycle events, some SPDX-related license changes and license file inclusions. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.11.0) for full details.

## 2015-05-24, Version 2.1.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **crypto**: Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DHE) parameters (`'dhparams'`) must now be 1024 bits or longer or an error will be thrown. A warning will also be printed to the console if you supply less than 2048 bits. See <https://weakdh.org/> for further context on this security concern. (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1739](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1739).
* **node**: A new `--trace-sync-io` command line flag will print a warning and a stack trace whenever a synchronous API is used. This can be used to track down synchronous calls that may be slowing down an application. (Trevor Norris) [#1707](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1707).
* **node**: To allow for chaining of methods, the `setTimeout()`, `setKeepAlive()`, `setNoDelay()`, `ref()` and `unref()` methods used in `'net'`, `'dgram'`, `'http'`, `'https'` and `'tls'` now return the current instance instead of `undefined` (Roman Reiss & Evan Lucas) [#1699](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1699) [#1768](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1768) [#1779](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1779).
* **npm**: Upgraded to v2.10.1, release notes can be found in <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.10.1> and <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.10.0>.
* **util**: A significant speed-up (in the order of 35%) for the common-case of a single string argument to `util.format()`, used by `console.log()` (Сковорода Никита Андреевич) [#1749](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1749).

### Known issues

See <https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug> for complete and current list of known issues.

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-05-15, Version 2.0.2, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **win,node-gyp**: the delay-load hook for windows addons has now been correctly enabled by default, it had wrongly defaulted to off in the release version of 2.0.0 (Bert Belder) [#1433](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1433)
* **os**: `tmpdir()`'s trailing slash stripping has been refined to fix an issue when the temp directory is at '/'. Also considers which slash is used by the operating system. (cjihrig) [#1673](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1673)
* **tls**: default ciphers have been updated to use gcm and aes128 (Mike MacCana) [#1660](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1660)
* **build**: v8 snapshots have been re-enabled by default as suggested by the v8 team, since prior security issues have been resolved. This should give some perf improvements to both startup and vm context creation. (Trevor Norris) [#1663](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1663)

## 2015-05-04, Version 2.0.0, @rvagg

### Breaking changes

Full details at <https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Breaking-Changes#200-from-1x>

* V8 upgrade to 4.2, minor changes to C++ API
* `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and no longer returns a path with a trailing slash on any platform
* While not a _breaking change_ the 'smalloc' module has been deprecated in anticipation of it becoming unsupportable with a future upgrade to V8 4.4. See [#1451](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1451)  for further information.

_Note: a new version of the 'url' module was reverted prior to release as it was decided the potential for breakage across the npm ecosystem was too great and that more compatibility work needed to be done before releasing it. See [#1602](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1602) for further information._

### Notable changes

* **crypto**: significantly reduced memory usage for TLS (Fedor Indutny & Сковорода Никита Андреевич) [#1529](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1529)
* **net**: `socket.connect()` now accepts a `'lookup'` option for a custom DNS resolution mechanism, defaults to `dns.lookup()` (Evan Lucas) [#1505](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1505)
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.9.0. See the [v2.8.4](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.8.4) and [v2.9.0](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.9.0) release notes for details. Notable items:
  * Add support for default author field to make `npm init -y` work without user-input (@othiym23) [npm/npm/d8eee6cf9d](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d8eee6cf9d2ff7aca68dfaed2de76824a3e0d9af)
  * Include local modules in `npm outdated` and `npm update` (@ArnaudRinquin) [npm/npm#7426](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7426)
  * The prefix used before the version number on `npm version` is now configurable via `tag-version-prefix` (@kkragenbrink) [npm/npm#8014](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8014)
* **os**: `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and will no longer returns a path with a trailing slash on any platform (Christian Tellnes) [#747](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/747)
* **process**:
  * `process.nextTick()` performance has been improved by between 2-42% across the benchmark suite, notable because this is heavily used across core (Brian White) [#1571](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1571)
  * New `process.geteuid()`, `process.seteuid(id)`, `process.getegid()` and `process.setegid(id)` methods allow you to get and set effective UID and GID of the process (Evan Lucas) [#1536](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1536)
* **repl**:
  * REPL history can be persisted across sessions if the `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` environment variable is set to a user accessible file, `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_SIZE` can set the maximum history size and defaults to `1000` (Chris Dickinson) [#1513](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1513)
  * The REPL can be placed in to one of three modes using the `NODE_REPL_MODE` environment variable: `sloppy`, `strict` or `magic` (default); the new `magic` mode will automatically run "strict mode only" statements in strict mode (Chris Dickinson) [#1513](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1513)
* **smalloc**: the 'smalloc' module has been deprecated due to changes coming in V8 4.4 that will render it unusable
* **util**: add Promise, Map and Set inspection support (Christopher Monsanto) [#1471](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1471)
* **V8**: upgrade to 4.2.77.18, see the [ChangeLog](https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/refs/heads/4.2.77/ChangeLog) for full details. Notable items:
  * Classes have moved out of staging; the `class` keyword is now usable in strict mode without flags
  * Object literal enhancements have moved out of staging; shorthand method and property syntax is now usable (`{ method() { }, property }`)
  * Rest parameters (`function(...args) {}`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony-rest-parameters` flag
  * Computed property names (`{['foo'+'bar']:'bam'}`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony-computed-property-names` flag
  * Unicode escapes (`'\u{xxxx}'`) are implemented in staging behind the `--harmony_unicode` flag and the `--harmony_unicode_regexps` flag for use in regular expressions
* **Windows**:
  * Random process termination on Windows fixed (Fedor Indutny)  [#1512](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1512) / [#1563](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1563)
  * The delay-load hook introduced to fix issues with process naming (iojs.exe / node.exe) has been made opt-out for native add-ons. Native add-ons should include `'win_delay_load_hook': 'false'` in their binding.gyp to disable this feature if they experience problems . (Bert Belder) [#1433](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1433)
* **Governance**:
  * Rod Vagg (@rvagg) was added to the Technical Committee (TC)
  * Jeremiah Senkpiel (@Fishrock123) was added to the Technical Committee (TC)

    [#7961](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7961) Ensure that hosted git SSH
    URLs always have a valid protocol when stored in `resolved` fields in
    `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`394c2f5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394c2f5a1227232c0baf42fbba1402aafe0d6ffb)
    Switch the order in which hosted Git providers are checked to `git:`,
    `git+https:`, then `git+ssh:` (from `git:`, `git+ssh:`, then `git+https:`) in
    an effort to go from most to least likely to succeed, to make for less
    confusing error message. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`431c3bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/431c3bf6cdec50f9f0c735f478cb2f3f337d3313)

    [#7867](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7867) Use git shorthand and git
    URLs as presented by user. Support new `hosted-git-info` shortcut syntax.
    Save shorthand in `package.json`. Try cloning via `git:`, `git+ssh:`, and
    `git+https:`, in that order, when supported by the underlying hosting
    provider. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
* **src**: Allow multiple arguments to be passed to process.nextTick (Trevor Norris) [#1077](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1077)
* **module**: The interaction of `require('.')` with `NODE_PATH` has been restored and deprecated. This functionality
  will be removed at a later point. (Roman Reiss) [#1363](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1363)

### Known issues

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435).

## 2015-04-14, Version 1.7.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **build**: A syntax error in the Makefile for release builds caused 1.7.0 to be DOA and unreleased. (Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1421).

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)

### Commits

* \[[`aee86a21f2`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/aee86a21f2)] - **build**: fix RELEASE check (Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1421)

## 2015-04-14, Version 1.7.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **C++ API**: Fedor Indutny contributed a feature to V8 which has been backported to the V8 bundled in io.js. `SealHandleScope` allows a C++ add-on author to _seal_ a `HandleScope` to prevent further, unintended allocations within it. Currently only enabled for debug builds of io.js. This feature helped detect the leak in [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075) and is now activated on the root `HandleScope` in io.js. (Fedor Indutny) [#1395](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1395).
* **ARM**: This release includes significant work to improve the state of ARM support for builds and tests. The io.js CI cluster's ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARMv8 build servers are now all (mostly) reporting passing builds and tests.
 * ARMv8 64-bit (AARCH64) is now properly supported, including a backported fix in libuv that was mistakenly detecting the existence of `epoll_wait()`. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1365](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1365).
 * ARMv6: [#1376](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1376) reported a problem with `Math.exp()` on ARMv6 (incl Raspberry Pi). The culprit is erroneous codegen for ARMv6 when using the "fast math" feature of V8. `--nofast_math` has been turned on for all ARMv6 variants by default to avoid this, fast math can be turned back on with `--fast_math`. (Ben Noordhuis) [#1398](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1398).
 * Tests: timeouts have been tuned specifically for slower platforms, detected as ARMv6 and ARMv7. (Roman Reiss) [#1366](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1366).
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.7.6. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.7.6) for details. Summary:
 * [`b747593`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b7475936f473f029e6a027ba1b16277523747d0b)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) Don't automatically log all git failures as errors. `maybeGithub` needs to be able to fail without logging to support its fallback logic. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
 * [`78005eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/78005ebb6f4103c20f077669c3929b7ea46a4c0d)[#7743](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7743) Always quote arguments passed to `npm run-script`. This allows build systems and the like to safely escape glob patterns passed as arguments to `run-scripts` with `npm run-script <script> -- <arguments>`. This is a tricky change to test, and may be reverted or moved to `npm@3` if it turns out it breaks things for users. ([@mantoni](https://github.com/mantoni))
 * [`da015ee`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/da015eee45f6daf384598151d06a9b57ffce136e)[#7074](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7074) `read-package-json@1.3.3`: `read-package-json` no longer caches `package.json` files, which trades a very small performance loss for the elimination of a large class of really annoying race conditions. See [#7074](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7074) for the grisly details. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

## 2015-04-06, Version 1.6.4, @Fishrock123

### Notable changes

* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.5. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v275-2015-03-26) for details. Includes two important security fixes. Summary:
  * [`300834e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/300834e91a4e2a95fb7fb59c309e7c3fc91d2312)
    `tar@2.0.0`: Normalize symbolic links that point to targets outside the
    extraction root. This prevents packages containing symbolic links from
    overwriting targets outside the expected paths for a package. Thanks to [Tim
    Cuthbertson](http://gfxmonk.net/) and the team at [Lift
    Security](https://liftsecurity.io/) for working with the npm team to identify
    this issue. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`0dc6875`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0dc68757cffd5397c280bc71365d106523a5a052)
    `semver@4.3.2`: Package versions can be no more than 256 characters long.
    This prevents a situation in which parsing the version number can use
    exponentially more time and memory to parse, leading to a potential denial of
    service. Thanks to Adam Baldwin at Lift Security for bringing this to our
    attention.  ([@isaacs](https://github.com/isaacs))
  * [`eab6184`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/eab618425c51e3aa4416da28dcd8ca4ba63aec41)
    [#7766](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7766) One last tweak to ensure that
    GitHub shortcuts work with private repositories.
    ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
  * [`a840a13`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a840a13bbf0330157536381ea8e58d0bd93b4c05)
    [#7746](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7746) Only fix up git URL paths when
    there are paths to fix up. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
* **openssl**: preliminary work has been done for an upcoming upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2a [#1325](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1325) (Shigeki Ohtsu). See [#589](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/589) for additional details.
* **timers**: a minor memory leak when timers are unreferenced was fixed, alongside some related timers issues [#1330](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1330) (Fedor Indutny). This appears to have fixed the remaining leak reported in [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **android**: it is now possible to compile io.js for Android and related devices [#1307](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1307) (Giovanny Andres Gongora Granada).

### Known issues

* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)

## 2015-03-31, Version 1.6.3, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **fs**: corruption can be caused by `fs.writeFileSync()` and append-mode `fs.writeFile()` and `fs.writeFileSync()` under certain circumstances, reported in [#1058](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1058), fixed in [#1063](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1063) (Olov Lassus).
* **iojs**: an "internal modules" API has been introduced to allow core code to share JavaScript modules internally only without having to expose them as a public API, this feature is for core-only [#848](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/848) (Vladimir Kurchatkin).
* **timers**: two minor problems with timers have been fixed:
  * `Timer#close()` is now properly idempotent [#1288](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1288) (Petka Antonov).
  * `setTimeout()` will only run the callback once now after an `unref()` during the callback [#1231](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1231) (Roman Reiss).
  * NOTE: there are still other unresolved concerns with the timers code, such as [#1152](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1152).
* **Windows**: a "delay-load hook" has been added for compiled add-ons on Windows that should alleviate some of the problems that Windows users may be experiencing with add-ons in io.js [#1251](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1251) (Bert Belder).
* **V8**: minor bug-fix upgrade for V8 to 4.1.0.27.
* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.4. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v274-2015-03-20) for details. Summary:
  * [`1549106`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/1549106f518000633915686f5f1ccc6afcf77f8f) [#7641](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7641) Due to 448efd0, running `npm shrinkwrap --dev` caused production dependencies to no longer be included in `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. Whoopsie! ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`fb0ac26`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fb0ac26eecdd76f6eaa4a96a865b7c6f52ce5aa5) [#7579](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7579) Only block removing files and links when we're sure npm isn't responsible for them. This change is hard to summarize, because if things are working correctly you should never see it, but if you want more context, just [go read the commit message](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fb0ac26eecdd76f6eaa4a96a865b7c6f52ce5aa5), which lays it all out. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`051c473`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/051c4738486a826300f205b71590781ce7744f01) [#7552](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7552) `bundledDependencies` are now properly included in the installation context. This is another fantastically hard-to-summarize bug, and once again, I encourage you to [read the commit message](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/051c4738486a826300f205b71590781ce7744f01) if you're curious about the details. The snappy takeaway is that this unbreaks many use cases for `ember-cli`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`fe1bc38`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fe1bc387a14475e373557de669e03d9d006d3173)[#7672](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7672) `npm-registry-client@3.1.2`: Fix client-side certificate handling by correcting property name. ([@atamon](https://github.com/atamon))
  * [`89ce829`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/89ce829a00b526d0518f5cd855c323bffe182af0)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `hosted-git-info@1.5.3`: Part 3 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`63313eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/63313eb0c37891c355546fd1093010c8a0c3cd81)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `realize-package-specifier@2.2.0`: Part 2 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`3ed41bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/3ed41bf64a1bb752bb3155c74dd6ffbbd28c89c9)[#7630](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7630) `npm-package-arg@3.1.1`: Part 1 of ensuring that GitHub shorthand is handled consistently. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

### Known issues

* Some problems exist with timers and `unref()` still to be resolved. See [#1152](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1152).

## 2015-03-23, Version 1.6.2, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **Windows**: The ongoing work in improving the state of Windows support has resulted in full test suite passes once again. As noted in the release notes for v1.4.2, CI system and configuration problems prevented it from properly reporting problems with the Windows tests, the problems with the CI and the codebase appear to have been fully resolved.
* **FreeBSD**: A [kernel bug](https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-March/055043.html) impacting io.js/Node.js was [discovered](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/9326) and a patch has been introduced to prevent it causing problems for io.js (Fedor Indutny) [#1218](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1218).
* **module**: you can now `require('.')` instead of having to `require('./')`, this is considered a bugfix (Michaël Zasso) [#1185](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1185).
* **v8**: updated to 4.1.0.25 including patches for `--max_old_space_size` values above `4096` and Solaris support, both of which are already included in io.js.

### Known issues

* Possible small memory leak(s) may still exist but have yet to be properly identified, details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)

## 2015-03-20, Version 1.6.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **path**: New type-checking on `path.resolve()` [#1153](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1153) uncovered some edge-cases being relied upon in the wild, most notably `path.dirname(undefined)`. Type-checking has been loosened for `path.dirname()`, `path.basename()`, and `path.extname()` (Colin Ihrig) [#1216](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1216).
* **querystring**: Internal optimizations in `querystring.parse()` and `querystring.stringify()` [#847](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/847) prevented `Number` literals from being properly converted via `querystring.escape()` [#1208](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1208), exposing a blind-spot in the test suite. The bug and the tests have now been fixed (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#1213](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1213).

### Known issues

* Possible remaining TLS-related memory leak(s), details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)

## 2015-03-19, Version 1.6.0, @chrisdickinson

### Notable changes

* **node**: a new `-r` or `--require` command-line option can be used to pre-load modules at start-up (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) [#881](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/881).
* **querystring**: `parse()` and `stringify()` are now faster (Brian White) [#847](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/847).
* **http**: the `http.ClientRequest#flush()` method has been deprecated and replaced with `http.ClientRequest#flushHeaders()` to match the same change now in Node.js v0.12 as per [joyent/node#9048](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9048) (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1156](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1156).
* **net**: allow `server.listen()` to accept a `String` option for `port`, e.g. `{ port: "1234" }`, to match the same option being accepted in `net.connect()` as of [joyent/node#9268](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9268) (Ben Noordhuis) [#1116](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1116).
* **tls**: further work on the reported memory leak although there appears to be a minor leak remaining for the use-case in question, track progress at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **v8**: backport a fix for an integer overflow when `--max_old_space_size` values above `4096` are used (Ben Noordhuis) [#1166](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1166).
* **platforms**: the io.js CI system now reports passes on **FreeBSD** and **SmartOS** (_Solaris_).
* **npm**: upgrade npm to 2.7.1. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v271-2015-03-05) for details. Summary:
  * [`6823807`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6823807bba) [#7121](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7121) `npm install --save` for Git dependencies saves the URL passed in, instead of the temporary directory used to clone the remote repo. Fixes using Git dependencies when shrinkwwapping. In the process, rewrote the Git dependency caching code. Again. No more single-letter variable names, and a much clearer workflow. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [`abdd040`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/abdd040da9) read-package-json\@1.3.2: Provide more helpful error messages when JSON parse errors are encountered by using a more forgiving JSON parser than JSON.parse. ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))
  * [`c56cfcd`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c56cfcd79c) [#7525](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7525) `npm dedupe` handles scoped packages. ([@KidkArolis](https://github.com/KidkArolis))
  * [`4ef1412`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4ef1412d00) [#7075](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7075) If you try to tag a release as a valid semver range, `npm publish` and `npm tag` will error early instead of proceeding. ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))

## 2015-03-09, Version 1.5.1, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **tls**: The reported TLS memory leak has been at least partially resolved via various commits in this release. Current testing indicated that there _may_ still be some leak problems. Track complete progress at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* **http**: Fixed an error reported at [joyent/node#9348](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/9348) and [npm/npm#7349](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7349). Pending data was not being fully read upon an `'error'` event leading to an assertion failure on `socket.destroy()`. (Fedor Indutny) [#1103](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1103)

### Known issues

* Possible remaining TLS-related memory leak(s), details at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075).
* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these as a priority. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)

## 2015-03-06, Version 1.5.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **buffer**: New `Buffer#indexOf()` method, modelled off [`Array#indexOf()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf). Accepts a String, Buffer or a Number. Strings are interpreted as UTF8. (Trevor Norris) [#561](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/561)
* **fs**: `options` object properties in `'fs'` methods no longer perform a `hasOwnProperty()` check, thereby allowing options objects to have prototype properties that apply. (Jonathan Ong) [#635](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/635)
* **tls**: A likely TLS memory leak was reported by PayPal. Some of the recent changes in **stream\_wrap** appear to be to blame. The initial fix is in [#1078](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1078), you can track the progress toward closing the leak at [#1075](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1075) (Fedor Indutny).
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.7.0. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v270-2015-02-26) for details including why this is a semver-minor when it could have been semver-major. Summary:
  * [`145af65`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/145af6587f45de135cc876be2027ed818ed4ca6a)
    [#4887](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4887) Replace calls to the
    `node-gyp` script bundled with npm by passing the
    `--node-gyp=/path/to/node-gyp` option to npm. Swap in `pangyp` or a version
    of `node-gyp` modified to work better with io.js without having to touch
    npm's code!  ([@ackalker](https://github.com/ackalker))
  * [`2f6a1df`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f6a1df3e1e3e0a3bc4abb69e40f59a64204e7aa)
    [#1999](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1999) Only run `stop` and `start`
    scripts (plus their pre- and post- scripts) when there's no `restart` script
    defined. This makes it easier to support graceful restarts of services
    managed by npm.  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) /
    [@scien](https://github.com/scien))
  * [`448efd0`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/448efd0eaa6f97af0889bf47efc543a1ea2f8d7e)
    [#2853](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2853) Add support for `--dev` and
    `--prod` to `npm ls`, so that you can list only the trees of production or
    development dependencies, as desired.
    ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
  * [`a0a8777`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a0a87777af8bee180e4e9321699f050c29ed5ac4)
    [#7463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7463) Split the list printed by
    `npm run-script` into lifecycle scripts and scripts directly invoked via `npm
    run-script`. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
  * [`a5edc17`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a5edc17d5ef1435b468a445156a4a109df80f92b)
    [#6749](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6749) `init-package-json@1.3.1`:
    Support for passing scopes to `npm init` so packages are initialized as part
    of that scope / organization / team. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* **TC**: Colin Ihrig (@cjihrig) resigned from the TC due to his desire to do more code and fewer meetings.

### Known issues

* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these as a priority. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).

## 2015-03-02, Version 1.4.3, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **stream**: Fixed problems for platforms without `writev()` support, particularly Windows. Changes introduced in 1.4.1, via [#926](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/926), broke some functionality for these platforms, this has now been addressed. [#1008](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1008) (Fedor Indutny)
* **arm**: We have the very beginnings of ARMv8 / ARM64 / AARCH64 support. An upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2 is one requirement for full support. [#1028](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1028) (Ben Noordhuis)
* Add new collaborator: Julian Duque ([@julianduque](https://github.com/julianduque))

### Known issues

* Windows still reports some minor test failures and we are continuing to address all of these ASAP. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)
* Not possible to build io.js as a static library [#686](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/686)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/774)
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894)

## 2015-02-28, Version 1.4.2, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **tls**: A typo introduced in the TLSWrap changes in [#840](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/840) only encountered as a bug on Windows was not caught by the io.js CI system due to problems with the Windows build script and the Windows CI configuration, see Known Issues below. Fixed in [#994](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/994) & [#1004](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1004). (Fedor Indutny)
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.6.1. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v260-2015-02-12) for details. Summary:
  * [`8b98f0e`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8b98f0e709d77a8616c944aebd48ab726f726f76)
    [#4471](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4471) `npm outdated` (and only `npm
    outdated`) now defaults to `--depth=0`. This also has the excellent but unexpected effect of making `npm update -g` work the way almost everyone wants it to. See the [docs for
    `--depth`](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/82f484672adb1a3caf526a8a48832789495bb43d/doc/misc/npm-config.md#depth)

### Known issues

* Windows support has some outstanding failures that have not been properly picked up by the io.js CI system due to a combination of factors including human, program and Jenkins errors. See [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1005) for details & discussion. Expect these problems to be addressed ASAP.

## 2015-02-26, Version 1.4.1, @rvagg

_Note: version **1.4.0** was tagged and built but not released. A libuv bug was discovered in the process so the release was aborted. The tag was straight after [`a558cd0a61`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/a558cd0a61) but has since been removed. We have jumped to 1.4.1 to avoid confusion._

### Notable changes

* **process** / **promises**: An `'unhandledRejection'` event is now emitted on `process` whenever a `Promise` is rejected and no error handler is attached to the `Promise` within a turn of the event loop. A `'rejectionHandled'` event is now emitted whenever a `Promise` was rejected and an error handler was attached to it later than after an event loop turn. See the [process](https://iojs.org/api/process.html) documentation for more detail. [#758](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/758) (Petka Antonov)
* **streams**: you can now use regular streams as an underlying socket for `tls.connect()` [#926](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/926) (Fedor Indutny)
* **http**: A new `'abort'` event emitted when a `http.ClientRequest` is aborted by the client. [#945](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/945) (Evan Lucas)
* **V8**: Upgrade V8 to 4.1.0.21. Includes an embargoed fix, details should be available at <https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=430201> when embargo is lifted. A breaking ABI change has been held back from this upgrade, possibly to be included when io.js merges V8 4.2. See [#952](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/952) for discussion.
* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.6.0. Includes features to support the new registry and to prepare for `npm@3`. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v260-2015-02-12) for details. Summary:
 * [`38c4825`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/38c48254d3d217b4babf5027cb39492be4052fc2) [#5068](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5068) Add new logout command, and make it do something useful on both bearer-based and basic-based authed clients. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))

* **libuv**: Upgrade to 1.4.2. See [libuv ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog) for details of fixes.

### Known issues

* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690)

## 2015-02-20, Version 1.3.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **url**: `url.resolve('/path/to/file', '.')` now returns `/path/to/` with the trailing slash, `url.resolve('/', '.')` returns `/`. [#278](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/278) (Amir Saboury)
* **tls**: The default cipher suite used by `tls` and `https` has been changed to one that achieves Perfect Forward Secrecy with all modern browsers. Additionally, insecure RC4 ciphers have been excluded. If you absolutely require RC4, please specify your own cipher suites. [#826](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/826) (Roman Reiss)

## 2015-02-10, Version 1.2.0, @rvagg

### Notable changes

* **stream**:
  * Simpler stream construction, see [readable-stream/issues#102](https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream/issues/102) for details. This extends the streams base objects to make their constructors accept default implementation methods, reducing the boilerplate required to implement custom streams. An updated version of readable-stream will eventually be released to match this change in core. (@sonewman)
* **dns**:
  * `lookup()` now supports an `'all'` boolean option, default to `false` but when turned on will cause the method to return an array of _all_ resolved names for an address, see, [#744](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/744) (@silverwind)
* **assert**:
  * Remove `prototype` property comparison in `deepEqual()`, considered a bugfix, see [#636](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/636) (@vkurchatkin)
  * Introduce a `deepStrictEqual()` method to mirror `deepEqual()` but performs strict equality checks on primitives, see [#639](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/639) (@vkurchatkin)
* **tracing**:
  * Add [LTTng](http://lttng.org/) (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) when compiled with the  `--with-lttng` option. Trace points match those available for DTrace and ETW. [#702](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/702) (@thekemkid)
* **docs**:
  * Lots of doc updates, see individual commits
  * New **Errors** page discussing JavaScript errors, V8 specifics, and io.js specific error details. (@chrisdickinson)
* **npm** upgrade to 2.5.1, short changelog:
  * [npm/0e8d473](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/0e8d4736a1cbdda41ae8eba8a02c7ff7ce80c2ff) [#7281](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7281) `npm-registry-mock@1.0.0`: Clean up API, set `connection: close`, which makes tests pass on io.js 1.1.x.
    ([@robertkowalski](https://github.com/robertkowalski))
  * [npm/f9313a0](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f9313a066c9889a0ee898d8a35676e40b8101e7f)
    [#7226](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7226) Ensure that all request
    settings are copied onto the agent.
    ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [npm/fec4c96](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/fec4c967ee235030bf31393e8605e9e2811f4a39)
    Allow `--no-proxy` to override `HTTP_PROXY` setting in environment.
    ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
  * [npm/9d61e96](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/9d61e96fb1f48687a85c211e4e0cd44c7f95a38e)
    `npm outdated --long` now includes a column showing the type of dependency.
    ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
* **libuv** upgrade to 1.4.0, see [libuv ChangeLog](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog)
* Add new collaborators:
  * Aleksey Smolenchuk (@lxe)
  * Shigeki Ohtsu (@shigeki)

<a id="1.0.0"></a>
Below is a summary of the user-facing changes to be found in the io.js v1.0.0 release as compared to the
current _stable_ Node.js release, v0.10.35. At the time of the v1.0.0 release, the latest _unstable_
Node.js release is v0.11.14 with much progress made towards a v0.11.15 release. The io.js codebase inherits
the majority of the changes found in the v0.11 branch of the [joyent/node](https://github.com/joyent/node)
repository and therefore can be seen as an extension to v0.11.

## Summary of changes from Node.js v0.10.35 to io.js v1.0.0

### General

* The V8 JavaScript engine bundled with io.js was upgraded dramatically, from version 3.14.5.9 in Node.js v0.10.35 and 3.26.33 in Node.js v0.11.14 to 3.31.74.1 for io.js v1.0.0. This brings along many fixes and performance improvements, as well as additional support for new ES6 language features! For more information on this, check out [the io.js ES6 page](https://iojs.org/es6.html).
* Other bundled technologies were upgraded:
  * c-ares: 1.9.0-DEV to 1.10.0-DEV
  * http\_parser: 1.0 to 2.3
  * libuv: 0.10.30 to 1.2.0
  * npm: 1.4.28 to 2.1.18
  * openssl: 1.0.1j to 1.0.1k
  * punycode: 1.2.0 to 1.3.2.
* Performance and stability improvements on all platforms.

### buffer

<https://iojs.org/api/buffer.html>

* Added `buf.writeUIntLE`, `buf.writeUIntBE`, `buf.writeIntLE`, `buf.writeIntBE`, `buf.readUIntLE`, `buf.readUIntBE`, `buf.readIntLE` and `buf.readIntBE` methods that read and write value up to 6 bytes.
* Added `Buffer.compare()` which does a `memcmp()` on two Buffer instances. Instances themselves also have a `compare()`.
* Added `buffer.equals()` that checks equality of Buffers by their contents.
* Added `new Buffer(otherBuffer)` constructor.
* Tweaked `SlowBuffer`'s semantics.
* Updated the output of `buffer.toJSON()` to not be the same as an array. Instead it is an object specifically tagged as a buffer, which can be recovered by passing it to (a new overload of) the `Buffer` constructor.

### child\_process

<https://iojs.org/api/child_process.html>

* Added a `shell` option to `child_process.exec`.
* Added synchronous counterparts for the child process functions: `child_process.spawnSync`, `child_process.execSync`, and `child_process.execFileSync`.
* Added the path to any `ENOENT` errors, for easier debugging.

### console

<https://iojs.org/api/console.html>

* Added an `options` parameter to `console.dir`.

### cluster

<https://iojs.org/api/cluster.html>

* Updated `cluster` to use round-robin load balancing by default on non-Windows platforms. The scheduling policy is configurable however.
* `--debug` has been made cluster-aware.
* Many bug fixes.

### crypto

<https://iojs.org/api/crypto.html>

* Added support for custom generator values to `DiffieHellman` (defaulting to 2 for backwards compatibility).
* Added support for custom pbkdf2 digest methods.
* Added support for elliptic curve-based Diffie-Hellman.
* Added support for loading and setting the engine for some/all OpenSSL functions.
* Added support for passing in a passphrase for decrypting the signing key to `Sign.sign()`.
* Added support for private key passphrase in every method that accepts it.
* Added support for RSA public/private encryption/decryption functionality.

* Added `hostname` on error messages when available.
* Improved error handling consistency.

### events

<https://iojs.org/api/events.html>

* Added chaining support to `EventEmitter.setMaxListeners`.
* Updated `require('events')` to return the `EventEmitter` constructor, allowing the module to be used like `var EventEmitter = require('events')` instead of `var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter`.

### fs

<https://iojs.org/api/fs.html>

* Added `fs.access`, and deprecated `fs.exists`. Please read the documentation carefully.
* Added more informative errors and method call site details when the `NODE_DEBUG` environment is set to ease debugging.
* Added option to `fs.watch` for recursive sub-directory support (OS X only).
* Fixed missing callbacks errors just being printed instead of thrown.

### http

<https://iojs.org/api/http.html>

* Added support for `response.write` and `response.end` to receive a callback to know when the operation completes.
* Added support for 308 status code (see RFC 7238).

* Added `request.flush` method.
* Added `response.getHeader('header')` method that may be used before headers are flushed.
* Added `response.statusMessage` property.
* Added Client Keep-Alive behavior.  Set `keepAlive:true` in request options to reuse connections indefinitely.
* Added `rawHeaders` and `rawTrailers` members on incoming message.
* Removed default chunked encoding on `DELETE` and `OPTIONS`.

### net

<https://iojs.org/api/net.html>

* Changed `net.Server.listen` such that, when the bind address is omitted, IPv6 is tried first, and IPv4 is used as a fallback.

### os

<https://iojs.org/api/os.html>

* Added MAC addresses, netmasks and scope IDs for IPv6 addresses to `os.networkInterfaces` method output.
* Updated `os.tmpdir` on Windows to use the `%SystemRoot%` or `%WINDIR%` environment variables instead of the hard-coded value of `c:\windows` when determining the temporary directory location.

### path

<https://iojs.org/api/path.html>

* Added `path.isAbsolute` and `path.parse` methods.
* Added `path.win32` and `path.posix` objects that contain platform-specific versions of the various `path` functions.
* Improved `path.join` performance.

<https://iojs.org/api/querystring.html>

* Added the ability to pass custom versions of `encodeURIComponent` and `decodeURIComponent` when stringifying or parsing a querystring.
* Fixed several issues with the formatting of query strings in edge cases.

### smalloc

<https://iojs.org/api/smalloc.html>

`smalloc` is a new core module for doing (external) raw memory allocation/deallocation/copying in JavaScript.

### streams

<https://iojs.org/api/stream.html>

The changes to streams are not as drastic as the transition from streams1 to streams2: they are a
refinement of existing ideas, and should make the API slightly less surprising for humans and faster
for computers. As a whole the changes are referred to as "streams3", but the changes should largely go
unnoticed by the majority of stream consumers and implementers.

#### Readable streams

The distinction between "flowing" and "non-flowing" modes has been refined. Entering "flowing" mode is
no longer an irreversible operation—it is possible to return to "non-flowing" mode from "flowing" mode.
Additionally, the two modes now flow through the same machinery instead of replacing methods. Any time
data is returned as a result of a `.read` call that data will _also_ be emitted on the `"data"` event.

As before, adding a listener for the `"readable"` or `"data"` event will start flowing the stream; as
will piping to another stream.

#### Writable streams

The ability to "bulk write" to underlying resources has been added to `Writable` streams. For stream
implementers, one can signal that a stream is bulk-writable by specifying a [\_writev](https://iojs.org/api/stream.html#stream_writable_writev_chunks_callback) method.
Bulk writes will occur in two situations:

1. When a bulk-writable stream is clearing its backlog of buffered write requests,
2. or if an end user has made use of the new `.cork()` and `.uncork()` API methods.

`.cork` and `.uncork` allow the end user to control the buffering behavior of writable streams separate
from exerting backpressure. `.cork` indicates that the stream should accept new writes (up to `highWaterMark`),
while `.uncork` resets that behavior and attempts to bulk-write all buffered writes to the underlying resource.

The only core stream API that **currently** implements `_writev` is `net.Socket`.

In addition to the bulk-write changes, the performance of repeated small writes to non-bulk-writable streams
(such as `fs.WriteStream`) has been drastically improved. Users piping high volume log streams to disk should
see an improvement.

For a detailed overview of how streams3 interact, [see this diagram](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/37303/5728694/f9a3e300-9b20-11e4-9e14-a6938b3327f0.png).

### timers

<https://iojs.org/api/timers.html>

* Removed `process.maxTickDepth`, allowing `process.nextTick` to be used recursively without limit.
* Updated `setImmediate` to process the full queue each turn of the event loop, instead of one per queue.

### tls

<https://iojs.org/api/tls.html>

* Added `detailed` boolean flag to `getPeerCertificate` to return detailed certificate information (with raw DER bytes).
* Added `renegotiate(options, callback)` method for session renegotiation.
* Added `setMaxSendFragment` method for varying TLS fragment size.
* Added a `dhparam` option for DH ciphers.
* Added a `ticketKeys` option for TLS ticket AES encryption keys setup.
* Added async OCSP-stapling callback.
* Added async session storage events.
* Added async SNI callback.
* Added multi-key server support (for example, ECDSA+RSA server).
* Added optional callback to `checkServerIdentity` for manual certificate validation in userland.
* Added support for ECDSA/ECDHE cipher.
* Implemented TLS streams in C++, boosting their performance.
* Moved `createCredentials` to `tls` and renamed it to `createSecureContext`.
* Removed SSLv2 and SSLv3 support.

### url

<https://iojs.org/api/url.html>

* Improved escaping of certain characters.
* Improved parsing speed.

### util

<https://iojs.org/api/util.html>

* Added `util.debuglog`.
* Added a plethora of new type-testing methods. See [the docs](https://iojs.org/api/util.html).
* Updated `util.format` to receive several changes:
  * `-0` is now displayed as such, instead of as `0`.
  * Anything that is `instanceof Error` is now formatted as an error.
  * Circular references in JavaScript objects are now handled for the `%j` specifier.
  * Custom `inspect` functions are now allowed to return an object.
  * Custom `inspect` functions now receive any arguments passed to `util.inspect`.

## v8

<https://iojs.org/api/v8.html>

`v8` is a new core module for interfacing directly with the V8 engine.

### vm

<https://iojs.org/api/vm.html>

The `vm` module has been rewritten to work better, based on the excellent [Contextify](https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify) native module. All of the functionality of Contextify is now in core, with improvements!

* Added `vm.isContext(object)` method to determine whether `object` has been contextified.
* Added `vm.runInDebugContext(code)` method to compile and execute `code` inside the V8 debug context.
* Updated `vm.createContext(sandbox)` to "contextify" the sandbox, making it suitable for use as a global for `vm` scripts, and then return it. It no longer creates a separate context object.
* Updated most `vm` and `vm.Script` methods to accept an `options` object, allowing you to configure a timeout for the script, the error display behavior, and sometimes the filename (for stack traces).
* Updated the supplied sandbox object to be used directly as the global, remove error-prone copying of properties back and forth between the supplied sandbox object and the global that appears inside the scripts run by the `vm` module.

For more information, see the `vm` documentation linked above.

### zlib

<https://iojs.org/api/zlib.html>

* Added support for `zlib.flush` to specify a particular flush method (defaulting to `Z_FULL_FLUSH`).
* Added support for `zlib.params` to dynamically update the compression level and strategy when deflating.
* Added synchronous versions of the zlib methods.

### C++ API Changes

<https://iojs.org/api/addons.html>

In general it is recommended that you use [NAN](https://github.com/rvagg/nan) as a compatibility layer for your addons. This will also help with future changes in the V8 and Node/io.js C++ API. Most of the following changes are already handled by NAN-specific wrappers.

#### V8 highlights

* Exposed method signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Method(const Arguments& args)` to `void Method(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args)` with the newly introduced `FunctionCallbackInfo` also taking the return value via `args.GetReturnValue().Set(value)` instead of `scope.Close(value)`, `Arguments` has been removed.
* Exposed setter signature has changed from `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<void>& args)`.
* Exposed getter signature has changed from `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
* Exposed property setter signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
* Exposed property getter signature has changed from `Handle<Value> Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args)` `void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args)`.
* Similar changes have been made to property enumerators, property deleters, property query, index getter, index setter, index enumerator, index deleter, index query.
* V8 objects instantiated in C++ now require an `Isolate*` argument as the first argument. In most cases it is OK to simply pass `v8::Isolate::GetCurrent()`, e.g. `Date::New(Isolate::GetCurrent(), time)`, or `String::NewFromUtf8(Isolate::GetCurrent(), "foobar")`.
* `HandleScope scope` now requires an `Isolate*` argument, i.e. `HandleScope scope(isolate)`, in most cases `v8::Isolate::GetCurrent()` is OK.
* Similar changes have been made to `Locker` and `Unlocker`.
* V8 objects that need to "escape" a scope should be enclosed in a `EscapableHandleScope` rather than a `HandleScope` and should be returned with `scope.Escape(value)`.
* Exceptions are now thrown from isolates with `isolate->ThrowException(ExceptionObject)`.
* `Context::GetCurrent()` must now be done on an isolate, e.g. `Isolate::GetCurrent()->GetCurrentContext()`.
* `String::NewSymbol()` has been removed, use plain strings instead.
* `String::New()` has been removed, use `String::NewFromUtf8()` instead.
* `Persistent` objects no longer inherit from `Handle` and cannot be instantiated with another object. Instead, the `Persistent` should simply be declared, e.g. `Persistent<Type> handle` and then have a `Local` assigned to it with `handle.Reset(isolate, value)`. To get a `Local` from a `Persistent` you must instantiate it as the argument, i.e. `Local::New(Isolate*, Persistent)`.

#### Node / io.js

* Updated `node::Buffer::New()` to return a `Handle` directly so you no longer need to fetch the `handle_` property.
* Updated `node::MakeCallback()` to require an `Isolate*` as the first argument. Generally `Isolate::GetCurrent()` will be OK for this.
