Now that highWaterMark increases when there are large reads, this
greatly reduces the number of calls necessary to _read(size), assuming
that _read actually respects the size argument.
Ability to return just the length of listeners for a given type, using
EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event). This will be a lot cheaper
than creating a copy of the listeners array just to check its length.
The first example uses Readable, and shows the use of
readable.unshift(). The second uses the Transform class, showing that
it's much simpler in this case.
Document how to run the example on the home page in more detail.
Apparently our Windows brethren are prone to double-clicking on the
binary instead of running it from the command line.
Fixes#4854.
It seems like a good idea on the face of it, but lowWaterMarks are
actually not useful, and in practice should always be set to zero.
It would be worthwhile for writers if we actually did some kind of
writev() type of thing, but actually this just delays calling write()
and the overhead of doing a bunch of Buffer copies is not worth the
slight benefit of calling write() fewer times.
Running repl.start without the prompt set produces this error:

http.ServerRequest and http.ClientResponse are merged into http.IncomingMessage
which has fields for both, and acts as a Readable Stream and EventEmitter.
Fixes#3851.
mainly to allow native addons to export single functions on `exports`
rather than being restricted to operating on an existing `exports`
object.

Argument checks were simplified by setting all undefined/NaN or out of
bounds values equal to their defaults.
Also copy() tests had a flaw that each buffer had the same bit pattern at
the same offset. So even if the copy failed, the bit-by-bit comparison
would have still been true. This was fixed by filling each buffer with a
unique value before copy operations.
This adds a proxy for bytesWritten to the tls.CryptoStream. This
change makes the connection object more similar between HTTP and
HTTPS requests in an effort to avoid confusion.
See issue #4650 for more background information.
