# io.js ChangeLog ## 2015-04-20, Version 1.8.1, @chrisdickinson ### Notable changes * **NOTICE**: Skipped v1.8.0 due to problems with release tooling. See [#1436](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1436) for details. * **build**: Support for building io.js as a static library (Marat Abdullin) [#1341](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1341) * **deps**: Upgrade openssl to 1.0.2a (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1389](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1389) * Users should see performance improvements when using the crypto API. See [here](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/wiki/Crypto-Performance-Notes-for-OpenSSL-1.0.2a-on-iojs-v1.8.0) for details. * **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.8.3. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.8.3) for details. Includes improved git support. Summary: * [`387f889`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/387f889c0e8fb617d9cc9a42ed0a3ec49424ab5d) [#7961](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7961) Ensure that hosted git SSH URLs always have a valid protocol when stored in `resolved` fields in `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) * [`394c2f5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394c2f5a1227232c0baf42fbba1402aafe0d6ffb) Switch the order in which hosted Git providers are checked to `git:`, `git+https:`, then `git+ssh:` (from `git:`, `git+ssh:`, then `git+https:`) in an effort to go from most to least likely to succeed, to make for less confusing error message. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) * [`431c3bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/431c3bf6cdec50f9f0c735f478cb2f3f337d3313) [#7699](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7699) `npm-registry-client@6.3.2`: Don't send body with HTTP GET requests when logging in. ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes)) * [`15efe12`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/15efe124753257728a0ddc64074fa5a4b9c2eb30) [#7872](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7872) Use the new version of `hosted-git-info` to pass along credentials embedded in git URLs. Test it. Test it a lot. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) * [`b027319`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b0273190c71eba14395ddfdd1d9f7ba625297523) [#7920](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7920) Scoped packages with `peerDependencies` were installing the `peerDependencies` into the wrong directory. ([@ewie](https://github.com/ewie)) * [`6b0f588`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6b0f58877f37df9904490ffbaaad33862bd36dce) [#7867](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7867) Use git shorthand and git URLs as presented by user. Support new `hosted-git-info` shortcut syntax. Save shorthand in `package.json`. Try cloning via `git:`, `git+ssh:`, and `git+https:`, in that order, when supported by the underlying hosting provider. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) * **src**: Allow multiple arguments to be passed to process.nextTick (Trevor Norris) [#1077](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1077) * **module**: The interaction of `require('.')` with `NODE_PATH` has been restored and deprecated. This functionality will be removed at a later point. (Roman Reiss) [#1363](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1363) ### Known issues * Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved.

(Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1421). ### Commits * [[`aee86a21f2`](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/commit/aee86a21f2)] - **build**: fix RELEASE check (Rod Vagg) [#1421](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1421) ## 2015-04-14, Version 1.7.0, @rvagg ### Notable changes * **C++ API**: Fedor Indutny contributed a feature to V8 which has been backported to the V8 bundled in io.js. `SealHandleScope` allows a C++ add-on author to _seal_ a `HandleScope` to prevent further, unintended allocations within it. 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
