Node v5.9.0 (Current)

Evan Lucas

Notable changes

contextify: Fixed a memory consumption issue related to heavy use of vm.createContext and vm.runInNewContext. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5392
governance: The following members have been added as collaborators:
- Andreas Madsen (@AndreasMadsen)
- Benjamin Gruenbaum (@benjamingr)
- Claudio Rodriguez (@claudiorodriguez)
- Glen Keane (@thekemkid)
- Jeremy Whitlock (@whitlockjc)
- Matt Loring (@matthewloring)
- Phillip Johnsen (@phillipj)
lib: copy arguments object instead of leaking it (Nathan Woltman) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4361
src: allow both -i and -e flags to be used at the same time (Rich Trott) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5655
timers: Internal Node.js timeouts now use the same logic path as those created with setTimeout() (Jeremiah Senkpiel) #4007
- This may cause a slightly different performance profile in some situations. So far, it has shown to be positive in most cases.
v8: backport fb4ccae from v8 upstream (Vladimir Krivosheev) #4231
- breakout events from v8 to offer better support for external debuggers
zlib: add support for concatenated members (Kári Tristan Helgason) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5120
- Previously, if multiple members were in the same archive, only the first would be read. The others are no longer thrown away.
