Will need to add tests for modules compiled with 2013 used with Node compiled with 2015. + +@orangemocha: Main question is switching in v6 before LTS. Is it a breaking change? + +Issue with node-sass module only comes up on Windows XP so can be discounted. + +No way to be sure if user modules compiled with 2013 might be incompatible with Node compiled with 2015. Have to run tests. Will CITGM provide sufficient testing? + +@myles: may not be enough native modules in CITGM to provide confidence. + +@Fishrock123: be sure to also test on pre-gyp’ed modules. + +@orangemocha: we may never have complete confidence that this isn’t a breaking change, but node-sass is the only issue ever reported. + +@orangemocha: Should we support modules built with 2013 in v7? +@rvagg: need to include that in tests. + +**Next steps**: Run tests with modules compiled with 2013 to see if there are issues. Keep on agenda for next week and check on progress. + +### Node 6 fs.realpath behavior changes [#7175](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7175) + +* ELOOP fix: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7548 +* Windows PR: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7559 (see also https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7192) + +ELOOP issue has been resolved. Windows problem being addressed in another PR. May have to use JS impl for Windows. + +@rvagg: If libuv can’t handle the realpath issue for Windows what should we do? + +@orangemocha: We’re using the JS impl for Windows. + +@trevnorris: we can use the libuv impl and defer to the JS impl if the libuv impl throws unexpectedly. + +@rvagg: should we just revert? How common is the case where this provides a speed-up? + +@trevnorris: keep both libuv and js impl for now. + +**Next steps**: All please review #7548 and #7559. + +### http: don't inherit from Object.prototype [#6102](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6102) + +@mscdex: Prevent clash of header names with properties inherited from Object (e.g., __proto__). An object with a null prototype is already being used for the same purpose in `querystring.parse` since v6 release. + +@mscdex: Some have suggested cherry-picking some methods from Object such as `toString`: + + * So that object can be inspected. + * To ensure backward compatibility. + +@mscdex: An eventual goal may be to store headers in an ES6 Map instead of on a plain object, but that will change the API considerably. + +@evanlucas: we should follow what we did with query string parameters. + +@rvagg: first need to review as some opposition to that. + +**Next steps**: All review PR. + +### proposal: WHATWG URL standard implementation [node-eps#28](https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/pull/28) + +@trevnorris: Some discussion about supporting unregistered schemes (e.g. `chrome://`). We should support them, Chrome supports them. + +@trevnorris: `url.parse` can handle incomplete URLs (e.g. no scheme). + +@rvagg: Most important question is should `URL` be a global? There would be a `url` module and a different `URL` global. + +@fishrock123: there would be a transition period and then functionality would be in `URL` + +@rvagg: new impl is quite different from existing `url` module. Would like to see a diff. Migration will be difficult. + +**Next steps**: Waiting for @jasnell to return. Review again next week. + +### v4.5.0 proposal [#7688](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7688) + +@thealphanerd: + +* Would like to include libuv v1.9.1. +* Would like very extensive testing prior to release to exclude breaking changes. + +How can we best test? + +@rvagg: Promote the RC on social media. + +@thealphanerd: npm could help test, Myles will reach out. + +@rvagg: Heroku? (Hunter Loftis) Travis CI? Probably not because it depends on nvm which doesn’t do RC’s yet. + +@thealphanerd: will talk with @ljharb about nvm support for RCs. + +**Next steps**: @thealphanerd will ping all to test RC. + +### ES Modules update + +@bmeck: named imports from CJS modules (e.g. `import {use, route} from "express"` or `import {readFile, readFileSync} from "fs"`) can’t work. + +Updates to come on the topic via: https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/issues/26 + +## Q/A on public fora + +## Upcoming Meetings + +* CTC: 2016-07-20 +* TSC: 2016-07-14 +* Diagnostics: 2016-08-03 +* Post-Mortem: 2016-07-18 +* API: 2016-07-14 +* LTS: 2016-07-25 +* Build: 2016-07-19
