The real problem was the introduction of a major change that lead to a lot of breakage and a lot of fix commits. Proposed that we have a “ng” (or similar) branch with releases for testing before merging. +* Chris: agree that we need a canary policy of some kind to deal with this +* Bert: feature flags are a good way of dealing with this and letting them test changes +* Ben: time-based releases like Rust and Chrome +* Fedor: main problem is that we didn’t have enough tests for this feature when it was merged. +* Rod: there’s awkwardness around releasing given that we only have one tip and we can’t cut patch releases once we have semver-minor changes are merged. +* Trevor: should have semver-minor branches where patch fixes go in and minor changes go in to master/whatever. +* Discussion about git process +* Discussion about semver +* Discussion about minor/patch and what it communicates +* Discussion about test coverage +* Rod asked OpenSSL fix: agreed to punt on a release until OpenSSL fix has been released and go immediately after that. + +### [#1130](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1130) Nominating Jeremiah Senkpiel @Fishrock123 to the TC + +* Rod: there was some off-record discussion about TC membership process related to #1130 and #1131. + - Neither individual was asked and it would be good to at least have it passed by them first + - Would be good to have a smooth on-boarding mechanism to bringing someone on to meetings before officially making them TC, agreed to invite Jeremiah to next TC _if_ he’s interested in being involved. + - Generally agreed that increasing the size of the TC is a good thing (minus the meeting-overhead added by more people) + +### [#1077](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1077) Pass args to process.nextTick() / @trevnorris + +* Trevor: passing arguments / context through process.nextTick() in core is common and would be significantly faster if we use a setArgs() feature. +* Chris: needed in readable-stream +* Discussed API concerns and how underscored methods still become defacto in userland +* Chris: could land the internal-module PR and use a Symbol for setArg +* Trevor: major speed increase comes from flattening the call-structure, there’s no additional stack entries for passing arguments. Particularly in crypto, nextTick() is called a lot. +* Rod: we need perf numbers from a user-experience perspective, perhaps that will make it more compelling to merge or perhaps it will make this look trivial that it’s not worth the cost of introducting ugly API +* Trevor: will go off and come back with numbers + +### Major version bump + +* Ben: proposed making a new integration branch to merge all of the semver-minor features, plus a V8 upgrade, we can start pushing out nightly-style releases for playing around and punt the decision on _how_ to do a major release down the road a little. +* Group agreed, Rod agreed to help come up with a release mechanism for nightlies to couple with this. + +### Next meeting + +* 25th March 2015
