io.js (the actively-maintained Node.js fork) is shipping their first alpha on 2015-01-12, i.e. in four days. They were planning on shipping with V8 3.31.74.1, but the recent reversion of classes has them worried that shipping classes to their community would be a bad move. I would expect a large number of people to start downloading and using this alpha, probably not in production, but certainly for the creation of reusable code that may have a decent shelf-life.
What should they be doing here? Can they count on a new 3.32 release being cut soon, that they can use to avoid shipping classes? Is 3.31.74.1 OK? Other options? Relatedly, last time I had a conversation about what V8 versions Node/iojs should be using, it turned out there was some confusion. I asked for a guideline for what versions embedders should be using to be written up, but I don't think it happened. Could we do that, regardless? -- -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
