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.
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

- Aleksey Smolenchuk (@lxe)
- Shigeki Ohtsu (@shigeki)

* debug: fix v8 post-mortem debugging.
* crypto: publicEncrypt now supports password-protected private keys.
* crypto: ~30% speedup on hashing functions.
* errors
- better formatting via util.inspect
- more descriptive errors from fs. This necessitated a
NODE_MODULE_VERSION bump.
- more descriptive errors from http.setHeader
* dep updates:
- npm: upgrade to 2.4.1
- http-parser: rollback to 2.3.0
- libuv: update to 1.3.0
- v8: update to 4.1.0.14
* http.request: inherited properties on options are now respected

* fs: fix fd leak on `fs.createReadStream`. See 497fd72 for details.
* installer: on Windows, emit WM_SETTINGCHANGE after install to make
other running processes aware of the PATH changes.
* Added new collaborators:
- Vladimir Kurchatkin (@vkurchatkin)
- Micleușanu Nicu (@micnic)
Notable changes:
* npm upgrade to 2.3.0 fixes Windows "uid is undefined" errors
* crypto.pseudoRandomBytes() is now an alias for crypto.randomBytes()
and will block if there is insufficient entropy to produce secure
values. See https://github.com/iojs/io.js/commit/e5e5980 for details.
* Patch for V8 to properly detect ARMv6; binaries now work again on
ARMv6 (Raspberry Pi etc.)
* Minor V8 upgrade from 4.1.0.7 to 4.1.0.12
* 'punycode' core module bumped from stability level 2-Unstable,
to 3-Stable
* Added new collaborators:
- Thorsten Lorenz (@thlorenz)
- Stephen Belanger (@qard)
- Jeremiah Senkpiel (@fishrock123)
- Evan Lucas (@evanlucas)
- Brendan Ashworth (@brendanashworth)
Notable changes
* V8 upgrade from 3.31 to 4.1, this is not a major upgrade, the version number "4.1" signifies tracking towards Chrome 41. The 3.31 branch is now not tracking towards a stable release.
* Re-enable Windows XP / 2003 support
* npm upgrade to 2.2.0
* Improved FreeBSD support

io.js v1.0.0 is not ABI-compatible with joyent/node@v0.12, update
the NODE_MODULE_VERSION macro to reflect that. Update to a much
larger value to avoid future clashes with joyent/node.

removed because nightly builds use the TAG make variable
to create a prerelease tag after the version yet `-pre` is
also appended beyond that. `-pre` is unnecessary if another
prerelease tag is being used.
