Node.js v0.2.6 Released

• spicyj 16y ago
  Is this significant? It doesn't even look to me like there are any new features.
  • mhansen 16y ago
    It's a compatibility branch, only getting bugfixes. The v0.3 branch is where new development is happening.

      Yes the memory usage in 0.3.3 is much better. I don't know how much is node and how much is the switch to v8 3 Although https is broken in git at the moment due to a rewrite
    • aaronblohowiak 16y ago
      it is stable. v0.3 can have breaking changes at any point. v0.4 will be the next stable.

    Well, it's a point release so that mostly means bug fixes. The fix for the write() bug alone is worth upgrading. It silently - but decisively - corrupts data on OS X[1].

    Personally, I like bug fix releases. It shows that the project is quite mature when there are fixes for several different platforms. Disclaimer: I currently don't use Node.js but I cannot wait to try it out. If there's any node devs here, kudos on the site! It looks even better usability-wise than jQuery's! I hope more dev aimed projects mimic it.

  I like bug fix releases, but does this really warrant the front page?

    Would you rather it be a bunch of cat pictures?

      I would! (switching to Cute Overload).
