Node v4.1.0 (Current)

The Node.js Project

2015-09-17, Version 4.1.0 (Current), @Fishrock123

Notable changes

• buffer:
  • Buffers are now created in JavaScript, rather than C++. This increases the speed of buffer creation (Trevor Norris) #2866.
  • Buffer#slice() now uses Uint8Array#subarray() internally, increasing slice() performance (Karl Skomski) #2777.
• fs:
  • fs.utimes() now properly converts numeric strings, NaN, and Infinity (Yazhong Liu) #2387.
  • fs.WriteStream now implements _writev, allowing for super-fast bulk writes (Ron Korving) #2167.
• http: Fixed an issue with certain write() sizes causing errors when using http.request() (Fedor Indutny) #2824.
• npm: Upgrade to version 2.14.3, see https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.3 for more details (Kat Marchán) #2822.
• src: V8 cpu profiling no longer erroneously shows idle time (Oleksandr Chekhovskyi) #2324.
• timers: #ref() and #unref() now return the timer they belong to (Sam Roberts) #2905.
• v8: Lateral upgrade to 4.5.103.33 from 4.5.103.30, contains minor fixes (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) #2870.
  • This fixes a previously known bug where some computed object shorthand properties did not work correctly (#2507).

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.
• Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. #690
• Calling dns.setServers() while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. #894
• url.resolve may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see #1435.
