Notable Changes:
* Windows: The ongoing work in improving the state of Windows support
has resulted in full test suite passes once again. As noted in the
release notes for v1.4.2, CI system and configuration problems
prevented it from properly reporting problems with the Windows
tests, the problems with the CI and the codebase appear to have been
fully resolved.
* FreeBSD: A kernel bug impacting io.js/Node.js was discovered and a
patch has been introduced to prevent it causing problems for io.js
(Fedor Indutny) #1218.
* module: you can now require('.') instead of having to require('./'),
this is considered a bugfix (Michaël Zasso) #1185.
* v8: updated to 4.1.0.25 including patches for --max_old_space_size
values above 4096 and Solaris support, both of which are already
included in io.js.
Notable Changes:
* node: a new -r or --require command-line option can be used to
pre-load modules at start-up (Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
* querystring: parse() and stringify() are now faster (Brian White)
* http: the http.ClientRequest#flush() method has been deprecated and
replaced with http.ClientRequest#flushHeaders() to match the same
change now in Node.js v0.12 as per
https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9048 (Yosuke Furukawa)
* net: allow server.listen() to accept a String option for port, e.g.
{ port: "1234" }, to match the same option being accepted in
net.connect() as of https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/9268 (Ben
Noordhuis)
* tls: further work on the reported memory leak although there appears
to be a minor leak remaining for the use-case in question, track
progress at https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1075.
* v8: backport a fix for an integer overflow when --max_old_space_size
values above 4096 are used (Ben Noordhuis)
* platforms: the io.js CI system now reports passes on FreeBSD and
SmartOS (_Solaris_).
* npm: upgrade npm to 2.7.1. See the npm CHANGELOG.md for details.
https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v271-2015-03-05
Notable changes:
* buffer: New `Buffer#indexOf()` method, modelled off `Array#indexOf()`.
Accepts a String, Buffer or a Number. Strings are interpreted as UTF8.
(Trevor Norris) https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/561
* fs: `options` object properties in `'fs'` methods no longer perform a
`hasOwnProperty()` check, thereby allowing options objects to have
prototype properties that apply. (Jonathan Ong)
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/635
* tls: A likely TLS memory leak was reported by PayPal. Some of the recent
changes in stream_wrap appear to be to blame. The initial fix is in
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1078, you can track the progress
toward closing the leak at
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1075 (Fedor Indutny).
* npm: Upgrade npm to 2.7.0. See npm CHANGELOG.md:
https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v270-2015-02-26
for details including why this is a semver-minor when it could have
been semver-major.
* TC: Colin Ihrig (@cjihrig) resigned from the TC due to his desire to do
more code and fewer meetings.
Notable changes:
* stream: Fixed problems for platforms without `writev()` support,
particularly Windows. Changes introduced in 1.4.1, via
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/926, broke some
functionality for these platforms, this has now been addressed.
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1008 (Fedor Indutny)
* arm: We have the very beginnings of ARMv8 / ARM64 / AARCH64
support. An upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2 is one requirement for full
support. https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1028
(Ben Noordhuis)
* Add new collaborator: Julian Duque @julianduque
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.
This adds more consistency, plus links to commits are particularly useful.

Notable changes:
* url: `url.resolve('/path/to/file', '.')` now returns `/path/to/`
with the trailing slash, `url.resolve('/', '.')` returns `/`.
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/278 (Amir Saboury)
* tls: tls (and in turn https) now rely on a stronger default
cipher suite which excludes the RC4 cipher. If you still want to
use RC4, you have to specify your own ciphers suite.
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/826 (Roman Reiss)
Notable changes:
* stream:
- Simpler stream construction, see
https://github.com/iojs/readable-stream/issues/102 for details.
This extends the streams base objects to make their constructors
accept default implementation methods, reducing the boilerplate
required to implement custom streams. An updated version of
readable-stream will eventually be released to match this change
in core. (@sonewman)
* dns:
- `lookup()` now supports an `'all'` boolean option, default to
`false` but when turned on will cause the method to return an
array of *all* resolved names for an address, see,
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/744 (@silverwind)
* assert:
- Remove `prototype` property comparison in `deepEqual()`,
considered a bugfix, see https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/636
(@vkurchatkin)
- Introduce a `deepStrictEqual()` method to mirror `deepEqual()`
but performs strict equality checks on primitives, see
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/639 (@vkurchatkin)
* **tracing**:
- Add LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) when compiled
with the `--with-lttng` option. Trace points match those
available for DTrace and ETW.
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/702 (@thekemkid)
* npm upgrade to 2.5.1
* **libuv** upgrade to 1.4.0
* Add new collaborators:
