This milestone is track transitioning the binding and JS layers of the blpapi-node project to rely upon the latest stable release of the node and io.js projects. The benefits of this milestone are the following:

• Binding backwards-compatibility is minimized (i.e., depend upon only the latest V8 API).
• Native ES6 features may not be taken advantage of without need for polyfills.
• More BLPAPI C++ SDK features exposed through the binding layer.
• An idiomatic JS API will be provided that takes advantage of these ES6 features.

Issues under this milestone should be targeted at the node-v0.12 branch.
