Currently only enabled for debug builds of io.js. This feature helped detect the leak in [#1075](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1075) and is now activated on the root `HandleScope` in io.js. (Fedor Indutny) [#1395](https://github.com/iojs/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/iojs/io.js/pull/1365). + * ARMv6: [#1376](https://github.com/iojs/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/iojs/io.js/pull/1398). + * Tests: timeouts have been tuned specifically for slower platforms, detected as ARMv6 and ARMv7. (Roman Reiss) [#1366](https://github.com/iojs/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
