  • #1416 io.js diff node.js foundation

Quick stand-up

  • Ben: Not much, company stuff
  • Bert: Playing with clang and FFI, FluentConf
  • Brian: JS HTTP parser, optimising and messing with regex
  • Chris: URL changes, looking for breakage, checked on newSession/resumeSession, 1.8.x release
  • Domenic: Not much, some work on V8 extensions with possible news next weeks
  • Fedor: Looking at the “debugger is slow” in WebStorm issue, possible fix to V8 soon, working on using the OpenSSL 1.0.2 hello parser, HTTP parser patch review
  • Jeremiah: Not so much work on io.js, helped get 1.8.1 out and looking into moving npm out of our git repo.
  • Rod: CI cluster dramas around 1.8.x release, new Raspberry Pis
  • Shigeki: OpenSSL upgrade, ALPM enabling PR coming this week
  • Trevor: Has been testing re-implementing Buffers using ES6 and TypedArrays. Some trickiness but seems doable and with patches that avoid zero-filling, performant.

#1393 Ready to upgrade to V8 4.2?

Rod: no formal “RC” builds yet but master is now going out on nightlies, they have a 2.0.0-pre version string now. Discussed whether we want formal RC builds or not. No strong opinions.

Chris: master should be active for dev now, next should be used for ongoing V8 upgrade builds. Asked if the V8 changes were ready in next to merge - Ben confirmed - Chris to merge.

Trevor: would like to get started on the upcoming V8 Buffer-related breakage and whether we should go to a 2.x branch and work on master.

Chris: we should work on new stuff on next instead and leave master intact for now.

Rod: status of URL parser changes?

Chris: would like to test against candidate modules in npm that may cause breakage but otherwise seems good to merge.

Domenic: would like there to be getters and setters for all data properties for completeness and future-proofing - still to be done

Rod: any other breaking changes worth discussing?

Ben: process.send() ready but not merged, any objections? - no objections.

Chris: https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/milestones/2.0.0 new label “land-on-master” to indicate PRs that are still targeting the v1.x branch.

Ben & Bert discussed Ben’s possible timers rewrite - Ben implemented a heap and red-black tree in JS, turned out to be a bit faster but not complete yet and Ben has been distracted on other projects. **

#1413 Combined node.js/io.js TC/Core Call

Bert: probably not this week, intent is for next week.

Jeremiah: there had been discussion around forming a convergence WG to handle some of this so as to not require everyone’s time except when necessary.

#1416 Diffing io.js and the Node.js Foundation

Nothing new to discuss

Open QA on Freenode/#io.js

Discussion on merger and how the possibility of merging may hold up progress in io.js. Generally agreed that we shouldn’t stop doing what we are doing, nor slow down progress. Bert would like us to be conscious of activities in the Foundation and how they may impact on what we are doing.

Discussion about “production ready” - recommendation is to use latest, we follow semver so that should be enough information. Rod suggested not jumping straight on to 2.0 when it lands, just because of potential edge-cases around internal changes like the url parser.

Discussed module integration testing to test certain modules that we would test with each release - Chris working on some tooling around being able to inspect what modules are impacted by changes - no specific work on actually running tests on modules but this could be a TODO for Build WG (Rod to make an issue for this).
