2015-02-10, Versio 1.2.0, @rvagg

Huomattavat muutokset

  • stream:
    • Simpler stream construction, see readable-stream/issues#102 for details. This extends the streams base objects to make their constructors accept default implementation methods, reducing the boilerplate required to implement custom streams. An updated version of readable-stream will eventually be released to match this change in core. (@sonewman)
  • dns:
    • lookup() now supports an 'all' boolean option, default to false but when turned on will cause the method to return an array of all resolved names for an address, see, #744 (@silverwind)
  • assert:
    • Remove prototype property comparison in deepEqual(), considered a bugfix, see #636 (@vkurchatkin)
    • Introduce a deepStrictEqual() method to mirror deepEqual() but performs strict equality checks on primitives, see #639 (@vkurchatkin)
  • tracing:
    • Add LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) when compiled with the --with-lttng option. Trace points match those available for DTrace and ETW. #702 (@thekemkid)
  • docs:
    • Lots of doc updates, see individual commits
    • New Errors page discussing JavaScript errors, V8 specifics, and io.js specific error details. (@chrisdickinson)
  • npm upgrade to 2.5.1, short changelog:
  • libuv upgrade to 1.4.0, see libuv ChangeLog
  • Add new collaborators:
    • Aleksey Smolenchuk (@lxe)
    • Shigeki Ohtsu (@shigeki)

Known issues

  • 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 that should appear in the next patch release.

Rebuild due to stale build slave git reflogs for 1.0.0 release

  • doc: improve write style consistency (Rui Marinho)
  • win,msi: correct doc website link (Bert Belder)

Below is a summary of the user-facing changes to be found in the io.js v1.0.0 release as compared to the current stable Node.js release, v0.10.35. At the time of the v1.0.0 release, the latest unstable Node.js release is v0.11.14 with much progress made towards a v0.11.15 release. The io.js codebase inherits the majority of the changes found in the v0.11 branch of the joyent/node repository and therefore can be seen as an extension to v0.11.

Summary of changes from Node.js v0.10.35 to io.js v1.0.0

General

  • The V8 JavaScript engine bundled with io.js was upgraded dramatically, from version 3.14.5.9 in Node.js v0.10.35 and 3.26.33 in Node.js v0.11.14 to 3.31.74.1 for io.js v1.0.0. This brings along many fixes and performance improvements, as well as additional support for new ES6 language features! For more information on this, check out the io.js ES6 page.
  • Other bundled technologies were upgraded:
    • c-ares: 1.9.0-DEV to 1.10.0-DEV
    • http_parser: 1.0 to 2.3
    • libuv: 0.10.30 to 1.2.0
    • npm: 1.4.28 to 2.1.18
    • openssl: 1.0.1j to 1.0.1k
    • punycode: 1.2.0 to 1.3.2.
  • Performance and stability improvements on all platforms.

buffer

https://iojs.org/api/buffer.html

  • Added buf.writeUIntLE, buf.writeUIntBE, buf.writeIntLE, buf.writeIntBE, buf.readUIntLE, buf.readUIntBE, buf.readIntLE and buf.readIntBE methods that read and write value up to 6 bytes.
  • Added Buffer.compare() which does a memcmp() on two Buffer instances. Instances themselves also have a compare().
  • Added buffer.equals() that checks equality of Buffers by their contents.
  • Added new Buffer(otherBuffer) constructor.
  • Tweaked SlowBuffer's semantics.
  • Updated the output of buffer.toJSON() to not be the same as an array. Instead it is an object specifically tagged as a buffer, which can be recovered by passing it to (a new overload of) the Buffer constructor.

child_process

https://iojs.org/api/child_process.html

  • Added a shell option to child_process.exec.
  • Added synchronous counterparts for the child process functions: child_process.spawnSync, child_process.execSync, and child_process.execFileSync.
  • Added the path to any ENOENT errors, for easier debugging.

console

https://iojs.org/api/console.html

  • Added an options parameter to console.dir.

cluster

https://iojs.org/api/cluster.html

  • Updated cluster to use round-robin load balancing by default on non-Windows platforms. The scheduling policy is configurable however.
  • --debug has been made cluster-aware.
  • Many bug fixes.

crypto

https://iojs.org/api/crypto.html

  • Added support for custom generator values to DiffieHellman (defaulting to 2 for backwards compatibility).
  • Added support for custom pbkdf2 digest methods.
  • Added support for elliptic curve-based Diffie-Hellman.
  • Added support for loading and setting the engine for some/all OpenSSL functions.
  • Added support for passing in a passphrase for decrypting the signing key to Sign.sign().
  • Added support for private key passphrase in every method that accepts it.
  • Added support for RSA public/private encryption/decryption functionality.
  • Added support for setting and getting of authentication tags and setting additional authentication data when using ciphers such as AES-GCM.

dgram

https://iojs.org/api/dgram.html

  • Added support for receiving empty UDP packets.

dns

https://iojs.org/api/dns.html

  • Added dns.resolveSoa, dns.getServers, and dns.setServers methods.
  • Added hostname on error messages when available.
  • Improved error handling consistency.

smalloc

https://iojs.org/api/smalloc.html

smalloc is a new core module for doing (external) raw memory allocation/deallocation/copying in JavaScript.

streams

https://iojs.org/api/stream.html

The changes to streams are not as drastic as the transition from streams1 to streams2: they are a refinement of existing ideas, and should make the API slightly less surprising for humans and faster for computers. As a whole the changes are referred to as "streams3", but the changes should largely go unnoticed by the majority of stream consumers and implementers.

Readable streams

The distinction between "flowing" and "non-flowing" modes has been refined. Entering "flowing" mode is no longer an irreversible operation—it is possible to return to "non-flowing" mode from "flowing" mode. Additionally, the two modes now flow through the same machinery instead of replacing methods. Any time data is returned as a result of a .read call that data will also be emitted on the "data" event.

As before, adding a listener for the "readable" or "data" event will start flowing the stream; as will piping to another stream.

Writable streams

The ability to "bulk write" to underlying resources has been added to Writable streams. For stream implementers, one can signal that a stream is bulk-writable by specifying a _writev method. Bulk writes will occur in two situations:

  1. When a bulk-writable stream is clearing its backlog of buffered write requests,
  2. or if an end user has made use of the new .cork() and .uncork() API methods.

.cork and .uncork allow the end user to control the buffering behavior of writable streams separate from exerting backpressure. .cork indicates that the stream should accept new writes (up to highWaterMark), while .uncork resets that behavior and attempts to bulk-write all buffered writes to the underlying resource.

The only core stream API that currently implements _writev is net.Socket.

In addition to the bulk-write changes, the performance of repeated small writes to non-bulk-writable streams (such as fs.WriteStream) has been drastically improved. Users piping high volume log streams to disk should see an improvement.

For a detailed overview of how streams3 interact, see this diagram.

timers

https://iojs.org/api/timers.html

  • Removed process.maxTickDepth, allowing process.nextTick to be used recursively without limit.
  • Updated setImmediate to process the full queue each turn of the event loop, instead of one per queue.

url

https://iojs.org/api/url.html

  • Improved escaping of certain characters.
  • Improved parsing speed.

util

https://iojs.org/api/util.html

  • Added util.debuglog.
  • Added a plethora of new type-testing methods. See the docs.

    • Circular references in JavaScript objects are now handled for the %j specifier.
    • Custom inspect functions are now allowed to return an object.
    • Custom inspect functions now receive any arguments passed to util.inspect.

v8

https://iojs.org/api/v8.html

v8 is a new core module for interfacing directly with the V8 engine.

vm

https://iojs.org/api/vm.html

The vm module has been rewritten to work better, based on the excellent Contextify native module. All of the functionality of Contextify is now in core, with improvements!

  • Added vm.isContext(object) method to determine whether object has been contextified.
  • Added vm.runInDebugContext(code) method to compile and execute code inside the V8 debug context.
  • Updated vm.createContext(sandbox) to "contextify" the sandbox, making it suitable for use as a global for vm scripts, and then return it. It no longer creates a separate context object.
  • Updated most vm and vm.Script methods to accept an options object, allowing you to configure a timeout for the script, the error display behavior, and sometimes the filename (for stack traces).
  • Updated the supplied sandbox object to be used directly as the global, remove error-prone copying of properties back and forth between the supplied sandbox object and the global that appears inside the scripts run by the vm module.

For more information, see the vm documentation linked above.

zlib

https://iojs.org/api/zlib.html

  • Added support for zlib.flush to specify a particular flush method (defaulting to Z_FULL_FLUSH).
  • Added support for zlib.params to dynamically update the compression level and strategy when deflating.
  • Added synchronous versions of the zlib methods.

C++ API Muutokset

https://iojs.org/api/addons.html

In general it is recommended that you use NAN as a compatibility layer for your addons. This will also help with future changes in the V8 and Node/io.js C++ API. Most of the following changes are already handled by NAN-specific wrappers.

V8 highlights

  • Exposed method signature has changed from Handle<Value> Method(const Arguments& args) to void Method(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) with the newly introduced FunctionCallbackInfo also taking the return value via args.GetReturnValue().Set(value) instead of scope.Close(value), Arguments has been removed.
  • Exposed setter signature has changed from void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args) void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<void>& args).
  • Exposed getter signature has changed from void Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args) void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args).
  • Exposed property setter signature has changed from Handle<Value> Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args) void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args).
  • Exposed property getter signature has changed from Handle<Value> Getter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::AccessorInfo& args) void Setter(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<Value>& args).
  • Similar changes have been made to property enumerators, property deleters, property query, index getter, index setter, index enumerator, index deleter, index query.
  • V8 objects instantiated in C++ now require an Isolate* argument as the first argument. In most cases it is OK to simply pass v8::Isolate::GetCurrent(), e.g. Date::New(Isolate::GetCurrent(), time), or String::NewFromUtf8(Isolate::GetCurrent(), "foobar").
  • HandleScope scope now requires an Isolate* argument, i.e. HandleScope scope(isolate), in most cases v8::Isolate::GetCurrent() is OK.
  • Similar changes have been made to Locker and Unlocker.
  • V8 objects that need to "escape" a scope should be enclosed in a EscapableHandleScope rather than a HandleScope and should be returned with scope.Escape(value).
  • Exceptions are now thrown from isolates with isolate->ThrowException(ExceptionObject).
  • Context::GetCurrent() must now be done on an isolate, e.g. Isolate::GetCurrent()->GetCurrentContext().
  • String::NewSymbol() has been removed, use plain strings instead.
  • String::New() has been removed, use String::NewFromUtf8() instead.
  • Persistent objects no longer inherit from Handle and cannot be instantiated with another object. Instead, the Persistent should simply be declared, e.g. Persistent<Type> handle and then have a Local assigned to it with handle.Reset(isolate, value). To get a Local from a Persistent you must instantiate it as the argument, i.e. Local::New(Isolate*, Persistent).

Node / io.js

  • Updated node::Buffer::New() to return a Handle directly so you no longer need to fetch the handle_ property.
  • Updated node::MakeCallback() to require an Isolate* as the first argument. Generally Isolate::GetCurrent() will be OK for this.
