Just curious--where do you guys usually find the kind of news that should go here?
kosamari commentedon Feb 16, 2015
Another official support of io.js : https://twitter.com/catberryjs/status/567317962013827073

these people added support https://www.clever-cloud.com/blog/features/2015/01/23/introducing-io.js/
bnb commentedon Feb 17, 2015
So did these people: https://twitter.com/thenativeweb/status/566690590348546048

bnb commentedon Feb 17, 2015
Don't know if those two are relevant enough to be added. Are we only doing big names, or anybody who adds support? I'm a fan of the latter--it will recognize people taking the step to use io.js, and will share them with the community.
mikeal commentedon Feb 17, 2015
They don't need to be huge, anyone who's supporting the project is great :)

Official (?) mongodb node module supports io.js "2.0.16 2015-02-16": https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/2.0/HISTORY.md

TDPAH adds io.js support: https://twitter.com/tdp_org/status/567442395974103040
bnb commentedon Feb 17, 2015
Don't think this was in last week's roundup, but node-sass added support in 2.0.1 recently (can't find exact date): sass/node-sass#655

@julianduque Also saw this, but decided against posting it here as it makes us seem like we're fighting Node to me. Anyone else's thoughts?
therebelrobot commentedon Feb 20, 2015
@bnb @julianduque yeah it would seem a little combative if we included side-by-side comparisons. Though I'm not sure how the TC would feel. Might be a good question for @mikeal ?
mikeal commentedon Feb 20, 2015
I'd like to include the performance post but we do need to be careful about the copy. How about something like "Raygun did a performance analysis of different versions of node.js and io.js. Both are improving performance each release!"
mikeal commentedon Feb 20, 2015
we'll need to include this as well https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/CHANGELOG.md#2015-02-20-version-130-rvagg
mikeal commentedon Feb 20, 2015
LTTng w/ io.js basics screencast https://asciinema.org/a/16785
bnb commentedon Feb 20, 2015
@mikeal Good wording on the performance test. I'll add it. Also adding the release and screencast.

@bnb great job! I updated the main Issue body. I'll go ahead and post on Medium now as well. Do you want to log the issue for next weeks so that you can continue to edit the main issue body next time?

mikeal commentedon Feb 20, 2015
@julianduque yup! :)

bnb commentedon Feb 20, 2015
@mikeal Logging issue now.
snostorm commentedon Feb 23, 2015
I noticed we had a nice list of new translations above which didn't make the cut for the article. Maybe for next week we can do another update on these efforts? Also, can we close this now that we're post-publish?
