I'd be happy if this version got some testing across platforms!

Try this to install it to your (test) project:

After some javascript feature/version fixes for node.js v4, the build passes -- but with an intermittent SIGSEGV error. This could very well map to any of the "ordinary" issues, such as timeouts. It seems as if the SIGSEGV happens (is displayed) after all the tests are done though, so it seems only indirectly related to them. (Or shutting down the node.js process after the tests does something odd.)

• As the errors were intermittent and happen on the build server, it's not easy to reproduce.
• If the error is due to results of some DNS lookup, it might mean that it only happens every few hundred or thousand lookups.
• The segfault handler is active, and should put a dump in crash.log, in case someone can reproduce the crash.
• Most likely the problem is in src/GNContext.cpp.
• Note that there are changes in GNContext::~GNContext().
• I'm not experienced in C++, so eyeballs would help!

If it's hard to reproduce/debug/report, I'm inclined to let it pass to get v2.0.0-alpha.1 out the door. Let's give it a few days first.

This version has now been released to npm as getdns-node v2.0.0-alpha.1! See also the v2.0.0-alpha.1
tag in git.

Installation:

npm install --save getdns

Next time I'll try to tag the release to npm with npm publish --tag=next so as not to have it be the latest version.
