Hi,

Thanks to everyone for all the hard work on making this happen.
You guys are awesome!

Best regards,

npm (1.0.103) won't install with Node 0.6.0, as it has a dependency on 0.4 or 0.5. There's an issue open (https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/1657), or for the desperate a quick change to npm's package.json node engine dependency declaration is all that is needed.

[Outsider]

Really good job!!

Thanks Node core team. <3

Removing pause/resume at the last minute, not the best idea.

Any userland stream that was extending stream.Stream now breaks resume propagation. I do agree that we can get rid of the resume event, it does the exact same thing as "drain", but we don't propagate drain through the pipe() chain now. write() will never be called again in a paused pipe() chain.

I wrote a fix.

https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2028

We also need to add two things to the migration notes for 0.6.

The first is that stream authors MUST return true or false if their stream is paused. In 0.4 they could be lazy because we propagated a "pause" event.

The second is that, once this patch lands, users who write their own streams MUST handle the "drain" event and not depend on the "resume" event as it's been removed. Intermediate filter streams previously could have only uses the "resume" event because pipe() handled it.

congratulations, good job.

[Thomas Fritz]

Great that performance still improved. What i am wondering is that
Write IO performance dropped while it almost doubled on Windows. Any
ideas why, or official statements about that?

Kind regards

great.  I have tried it. 

The only problem is, which is not related to Node but the npm modules, is that some modules are throwing warning when doing NPM update.  especially the querystring one.  :)

[Stephan Bardubitzki]

Can't install modules via npm. For example:

npm install express

results in this error message:

 

node.js:201

        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

              ^

Error: No such module

I think you should update your npm first. The current version is 1.0.104 and it's ok with node-v0.6.0.

Any documentation explaining the cluster module in more detail?

[Garen Torikian]

You mean besides this: http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/cluster.html ?

What more detail are you curious about?

also the source code in github:

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/cluster.js

it's not complex.

Maybe I'm not looking for documentation, but perhaps an article explaining how to use it with real world examples? I'm not familiar with that api at all.

[Thomas Fritz]

Is there any response regarding the performance drop on linux write
performance. It is not something i am concerned about, but it is the
only metric which performance dropped in the 0.6 release and just on
linux - on Windows write IO perf. is almost 2 times faster. I am just
wondering if anyone knows why this has dropped and if there is a
solution in future releases?

regards

Guy that ran the benchmarks here. There are a number of things at play here:

1) We now use native Windows APIs instead of Cygwin's emulation layer.

2) Asynchronous file I/O on Windows is in a much better shape than on
the Unices.

3) The drop in performance may have been local to the system I ran the
benchmark on. The 0.4 and 0.6 numbers on my local system, for example,
are much closer (but then my local system isn't high-end server gear).

Incidentally, I profiled our I/O benchmark yesterday. It's not that
raw I/O performance has dropped, it's that the overhead of getting the
data into JS land seems to have increased.

Track https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2071 if you want to keep posted.
