nodejs drop Error from 'Manual & Documentation'.

Hi

I want to know why nodejs drop Error from 'Manual & Documentation'. 

Iojs nodejs fork has documention of both nodejs + iojs error https://iojs.org/api/errors.html

I think you have it backwards - I believe contributors to io.js *added* an errors documentation page.  As with (hopefully) all good additions to io.js, it'll land in regular Node eventually, but for now the documentation on the io.js site is a great resource for anyone using Node.js or io.js.

No, look at http://neversaw.us/nodejs-api/errors.html

You will see that in 'Node.js v0.11.14-pre Manual & Documentation' there is Error.

That site is not Joyent's Node.js, it's appears to be most likely from the personal fork at https://github.com/chrisdickinson/node/tree/docs/add-error-docs .

Actual Joyent Node.js 11.14 never had any errors documentation: http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.11.14/docs/api/

The PR to merge this errors documentation into Joyent Node.js is still open (with, sadly, no progress in close to a year):  https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/8114

The errors documentation was merged into the io.js fork specifically here: https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/789

(Note: the author of these pull requests is also the owner of the site you referenced, so presumably he is just hosting the branch of the docs that he'd been editing)

Thanks very much for the info.
