<h2>Second Stable Branch of Node released</h2> | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<a | ||
href="https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Migrating-from-v0.2-to-v0.3">Wiki | ||
page detailing API changes between v0.4 and v0.2</a> | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
Major changes since v0.2: | ||
|
||
<ul> | ||
<li> Major overhaul of TLS/SSL system. Previously the binding to | ||
OpenSSL was heavily interwoven into the socket code. This binding was | ||
reworked to present each connection as a pair of "streams" instead: a | ||
duplex encrypted stream and a duplex cleartext stream. The encrypted | ||
stream is piped to a raw TCP socket using the general purpose | ||
<code>Stream.prototype.pipe()</code> method. Functionality was | ||
enhanced and API simplified. | ||
|
||
<li> Cheaper <code>Buffer</code> allocation. Node uses | ||
<code>Buffer</code> objects in many places - it was noticed that they | ||
were relatively slow to allocate and difficult to garbage collect. The | ||
implementation changed to use pure javascript objects instead of | ||
an <code>ObjectWrap</code> which improved performance. | ||
|
||
<li> With a good amount of experience now, some modifications to the | ||
module loading system were made to better support package managers. | ||
In particular, NPM was forced to resort to deep symlinks and "shim" | ||
modules to work around missing features in <code>require()</code>. The main | ||
changes are: | ||
<ol> | ||
<li><code>require()</code> calls realpath. That is, | ||
it resolves symbolic links. This allows symlinked modules to make | ||
relative requires. | ||
|
||
<li><code>require()</code> now has a primitive understanding of | ||
<code>package.json</code>. It looks for the <code>main</code> | ||
script. This allows <code>require()</code> to work on package | ||
directories directly. | ||
|
||
<li>A specially named directory, <code>node_modules/</code>, is | ||
searched in the current directory for any modules. This will | ||
hopefully encourage programmers to bundle modules rather than | ||
rely on a global namespace. | ||
</ol> | ||
Read more about these features in <a | ||
href="https://github.com/ry/node/blob/01a864a29d64119054401784cd9255c3a813bdbc/doc/api/modules.markdown">the | ||
module documentation</a>. | ||
|
||
<li> A half-complete but good start a native windows build with MinGW | ||
is underway by Bert Builder. Build instructions can be found <a | ||
href="https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-mingw">on | ||
the wiki</a>. | ||
|
||
<li> Node upgraded to the latest version of V8, <code>v3.1.2</code>. | ||
This includes much work including V8's new compilation infrastructure | ||
and a GDB plugin on Linux. | ||

full V8 ChangeLog</a>. | ||
|
||
<li>A new built-in client for V8's debugger was added to Node. It is | ||
still very primitive but usable for simple task. There is a <a | ||
href="http://vimeo.com/19465332">small introduction video</a> and | ||
some <a | ||

|
||
<li>An <code>os</code> module was added by Brian White which exposes | ||
a lot of basic but useful system information: <code>os.cpus(), | ||
os.freemem(), os.totalmem(), os.loadavg()</code> | ||
|
||
<li> And, of course, many of bug fixes. See the | ||
