# io.js ChangeLog ## 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/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1673) * **tls**: default ciphers have been updated to use gcm and aes128 (Mike MacCana) [#1660](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1663) * **src**: fixed preload modules not working when other flags were used before `--require` (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1694](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1694) * **dgram**: fixed `send()`'s callback not being asynchronous (Yosuke Furukawa) [#1313](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1313) * **readline**: emitKeys now keeps buffering data until it has enough to parse. This fixes an issue with parsing split escapes. (Alex Kocharin) [#1601](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1601) * **cluster**: works now properly emit 'disconnect' to `cluser.worker` (Oleg Elifantiev) [#1386](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1386) * **events**: uncaught errors now provide some context (Evan Lucas) [#1654](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1654) ### Known issues See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/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) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/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). ### Commits * [[`8a0e5295b4`](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/commit/8a0e5295b4)] -

it is now possible to filter by providers - bit flags have been removed and replaced with method calls on the binding object - _note that this is an unstable API so feature additions and breaking changes won't change io.js semver_ * **libuv**: resolves numerous io.js issues: - [#862](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/862) prevent spawning child processes with invalid stdio file descriptors - [#1397](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1397) fix EPERM error with fs.access(W_OK) on Windows -

See [#1451](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1602) for further information._ ### Notable changes * **crypto**: significantly reduced memory usage for TLS (Fedor Indutny & Сковорода Никита Андреевич) [#1529](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1505) * **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.9.0.

(Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1421). ### Known issues * 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) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/issues/894) * readline: split escapes are processed incorrectly, see [#1403](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1403) ### Commits * [[`aee86a21f2`](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/commit/aee86a21f2)] - **build**: fix RELEASE check (Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/issues/1075) and is now activated on the root `HandleScope` in io.js. (Fedor Indutny) [#1395](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1365). * ARMv6: [#1376](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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/io.js/pull/1398). * Tests: timeouts have been tuned specifically for slower platforms, detected as ARMv6 and ARMv7. (Roman Reiss) [#1366](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/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
