Also, #3743 just landed

mscdex · 2016-04-26T00:32:06Z

minor nit:

The fs.realpath() and fs.realpathSync() methods have been updated to use a more efficient libuv implementation

makes it sound like it was using libuv before, but less efficiently. How about:

The fs.realpath() and fs.realpathSync() methods have been updated to use a more efficient, libuv-based implementation

?

vsemozhetbyt · 2016-04-26T00:41:24Z

#6352 just landed.

zheung · 2016-04-26T00:42:36Z

the greatest news in this morning!

Think this was pointed out before in the RCs, but this link is duplicated

MylesBorins · 2016-04-26T03:06:22Z

@egoroof nvm draws directly from our release json... it will be ready as soon as we publish it.

I have been chatting with @ljharb about how to offer better support for rc's in nvm

here is a workaround

ljharb · 2016-04-26T04:21:10Z

Re the workaround, please note https://twitter.com/ljharb/status/724815514338512897

micnic · 2016-04-26T07:08:17Z

Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported #5167, #5167.

#5167 is mentioned twice

Fishrock123 · 2016-04-26T13:03:37Z

Still not comfortable with the Stable -> Current rename without prior public messaging.

jasnell · 2016-04-26T14:53:44Z

@ljharb ... regarding nvm... it's being proposed in this release to change from using the label stable to using the label current for the Stable branches. Would that throw off nvm at all?

jasnell · 2016-04-26T15:32:29Z

Rebased and updated. Will Rebase and update again shortly.

Fishrock123 · 2016-04-26T16:02:25Z

Looks like the foundation is already doing messaging in favor of this: nodejs/nodejs.org#672 (comment)

Rest in peace, Stable. Long live Current.

ljharb · 2016-04-26T16:43:46Z

@jasnell no, "stable" is a synonym for "node", and i won't be adding "current" - "node" is what people should be using for "latest". "stable" is a pre-semver concept anyways, as version numbers don't convey stability in semver, so I'm glad it's being removed.

"stable" will remain for awhile as a legacy default alias, just like "unstable" does (pointing to 0.11).

jasnell · 2016-04-26T17:03:03Z

Ok, calling time on things getting into v6 now. I've got a few more cleanups to do, then will start the smoke testing and build process. Thanks all!

ChALkeR · 2016-04-26T17:14:27Z

@jasnell, any chance to get #6402 in?

jasnell · 2016-04-26T17:18:38Z

Initial CI run : https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/2402/ (does not include #6402)

MylesBorins · 2016-04-26T17:24:40Z

Initial citgm run: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/thealphanerd-smoker/216/

edit: it is worth mentioning that we should expect failures in both body-parser and node-glob

The body-parser failures are test only, and there is a fix being landed in the project
node-glob uncovered an edge case in the new realpath implementation. A fix has been proposed but is still being evaluated. The fix needs to be implemented in glob though, not node

jasnell · 2016-04-26T18:41:38Z

New run to hopefully get a good centos build: https://ci-release.nodejs.org/job/iojs+release/555/
/cc @nodejs/build -- looks like the centos system went offline during the build. Hoping it's back up but can you please keep an eye on it

MylesBorins · 2016-04-26T19:24:23Z

OSX is done.

There is some unexpected stuff going on in request that I am digging into... it looks like it might be related to some changes affecting fsevents. I'll update this comment with the investigation.

jasnell · 2016-04-26T19:38:40Z

(fingers crossed Jenkins behaves)

jamen · 2016-04-26T19:41:33Z

GitHub needs fingers crossed reaction? Lol.

jasnell · 2016-04-26T19:43:44Z

It definitely needs "Hold your Breath" and "Rage Quit" reactions for sure

jasnell · 2016-04-26T19:44:16Z

Can I ask anyone who is waiting for this build to complete to do some extra testing of request on OSX?

jasnell · 2016-04-26T19:48:30Z

PR-URL: #6383

dnalborczyk · 2016-04-26T20:06:05Z

@jasnell are you building of "v6.0.0-proposal"? The test case for tick processor is failing again on OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 - and so is "master".

jasnell · 2016-04-26T20:06:53Z

@dnalborczyk, no, building off v6.x

jasnell · 2016-04-26T20:07:05Z

Done! Released!

jamen · 2016-04-26T20:13:19Z

That face when the changelog file too big for GitHub to display now.

Reference: nodejs/node#6383

silverwind · 2016-04-26T20:19:14Z

@jamen that just got fixed!

jamen · 2016-04-26T20:21:56Z

You sure about that? Link from the website actually still displays as too big for me. Though the one in the repo seems to work. Linking to different branch?

jasnell · 2016-04-26T20:23:48Z

@jamen: yeah, it was fixed in master, need to backport that change into v6 now tho ;-) It might be the first backport into v6

temaivanoff · 2016-04-27T08:09:47Z

@jasnell @Fishrock123 Hi, Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions package-manager not found setup_6.x =)

thefourtheye · 2016-04-27T10:17:35Z

@jasnell Can this branch be deleted now?

targos · 2016-04-27T11:04:59Z

more general question: can we delete all the vx.y.z-proposal branches ?

jasnell · 2016-04-27T12:33:58Z

Yep! I was planning to do some housekeeping today and clean those up, but
you're more than welcome to do so also!

kzc · 2016-04-27T18:49:40Z

Noticed that the 6.0.0 change log was missing an entry for this fix:

#4222 Node ignoring redirections when redirected to a tty

It was part of the libuv 1.9.0 merge.

jasnell · 2016-04-27T19:05:04Z

Yeah it seems the change log is missing quite a few commits, just not quite
sure how they were missed. I'll be fixing that later on today.
