opened on Mar 22, 2015

A patch release, perhaps we can ship this tomorrow before any semver-minor commits land. I'm mainly excited about removing the bit about Windows in the Known Issues section of the release notes.

    @rvagg do you plan on doing this today? I'd like to land #1219 (npm@2.7.3) first if we are.

    2015-03-23, Version 1.6.2, @rvagg

    Notable changes

    • Windows: The ongoing work in improving the state of Windows support has resulted in full test suite passes once again. As noted in the release notes for v1.4.2, CI system and configuration problems prevented it from properly reporting problems with the Windows tests, the problems with the CI and the codebase appear to have been fully resolved.
    • FreeBSD: A kernel bug impacting io.js/Node.js was discovered and a patch has been introduced to prevent it causing problems for io.js (Fedor Indutny) #1218.
    • module: you can now require('.') instead of having to require('./'), this is considered a bugfix (Michaël Zasso) #1185.
    • v8: updated to 4.1.0.25 including patches for --max_old_space_size values above 4096 and Solaris support, both of which are already included in io.js.

    Known issues

    • Possible small memory leak(s) may still exist but have yet to be properly identified, details at #1075.
    • Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal #690
    • Not possible to build io.js as a static library #686
    • process.send() is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see #760 and fix in #774
    • Calling dns.setServers() while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion #894

    @Fishrock123 agreed, that's a fairly important upgrade for npm due to the shrinkwrap bug but I'm not going to hold my breath on @othiym23 being able to land it on a weekend, we can 1.6.3 in a few days.

    https://jenkins-iojs.nodesource.com/job/iojs+any-pr+multi/366/ - rebooted the windows servers, those TIMEOUT errors coming on 2008 seem to disappear after Jenkins restarts

    @rvagg looks like we're getting new timeouts on https://jenkins-iojs.nodesource.com/job/iojs+any-pr+multi/367/nodes=iojs-win2008r2/console :-(

    flip

    It seems that I can get rid of the TIMEOUTs on Windows 2008 if I both restart Jenkins and clear out the workspace directory (was up to ~5.5G but there's plenty of space left).]

    We have a clear run at https://jenkins-iojs.nodesource.com/job/iojs+any-pr+multi/369/, moving on to a nightly for this.

    Well derp, Windows continues to frustrate. The nightly failed on one of the Windows boxes due to a Jenkins problem so I've cleaned out workspaces from both release machines and have requested a new nightly build which should go in over the top of the previous one: https://jenkins-iojs.nodesource.com/job/iojs+release+nightly/114/ landing @ https://iojs.org/download/nightly/v1.6.2-nightly20150323849319a260/

    released @ https://iojs.org/dist/latest/

    ARMv6 coming later

    ping @iojs/website and note that http://test.iojs.org/en/index.html has worked automagically (requires 104.236.136.193 test.iojs.org in your /etc/hosts).

    @mscdex Requires 104.236.136.193 test.iojs.org in /etc/hosts, no?
