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 documentation for more detail.
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/758 (Petka Antonov)
* streams: you can now use regular streams as an underlying socket for
tls.connect() https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/758 (Fedor Indutny)
* http: A new 'abort' event emitted when a http.ClientRequest is
aborted by the client. https://github.com/iojs/io.js/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 https://github.com/iojs/io.js/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.
* libuv: Upgrade to 1.4.2. See libuv ChangeLog
https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog for details of
fixes.
_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/iojs/io.js/commit/a558cd0a61) but has since been removed. We have jumped to 1.4.1 to avoid confusion._
