Node v0.4.3 released
- amock 16y agoIs this significant? I haven't used Node but the changelog makes it looks like there's nothing particularly interesting about this release.
- dekz 16y agoI believe every even version ie 0.4.x are just bug fixes and usability additions. I think the real core comes in the odd releases 0.3/5.x.
- js4all 16y agoIn the past the 0.2.x was the API stable branch and the 0.3.x was the experimental branch for the development of new features like SSL.It had an incompatible API against the 0.2.x branch. All this went into the 0.4.x branch, which is now stable again and new features incl. API changes can be expected for 0.5.x.
- jdub 16y agoIt's a maintenance release on the stable series. Some really good fixes in there, if you care about node in production.
- futuremint 16y agoEach point release typically bumps the version of Google's V8 engine thats included too. So its bugfixes + the occasional performance optimization from Google.
- billmcneale 16y agoThe number of comments shows that node.js is rapidly confirming its fad status.
- reddittor 16y agoI'm not sure why a patch version release of a software package qualifies for a HN post, but the fact that it's on the front-page should speak volumes for Node's current popularity.
- te_chris 16y agoNo you're totally right. A technology that allows easy, fast web programming in a paradigm that perfectly matches the nature of the web (event-driven design) is absolutely a fad.
