npm: Upgrade to 1.1.48

Fixes an issue with publishing readmes that are not called
'README.md', so that they still end up on the website

npm: Upgrade to 1.1.47

Merge branch 'binary-tarballs' into v0.8

Makefile: move the release verification logic into a `make release-only` target

Makefile: allow the dest-cpu to be specified for `make binary`

Needed for 64-bit Solaris, and 32-bit OS X

Makefile: add `make tar` helper target

install: add a "portable" mode to the shebang-rewriting logic

This "portable" mode rewrites the npm shebang to use the "node" executable
in the same directory relative to the "npm" script. This makes the "npm"
script "just work" even when "node" is not in the user's $PATH....

doc: fix typos in child_process

errnoException must be done immediately

install: use os.path.join() to create the npm shebang

Prettier formatting for the shebang if the "prefix" ends with a /

child_process: Fix stdout=null when stdio=['pipe']

Previously, a command with a short stdio array would result in the child's
stdout and stderr objects set to null. For example:

var c = child_process.spawn(cmd, args, {stdio: ['pipe']});
// results in c.stdout === null....

install: install the "wafadmin" files into the correct directory

Before they were just being copied into "lib/node/".
Now they go into "lib/node/wafadmin/".

installer: honor --without-npm, default install path

• honor the --without-waf and --without-npm configure switches

• a small logic bug made the installer script install to $PWD instead of
  /usr/local if --prefix= was not passed to configure

blog: Fix date on 0.8.5 release

Now working on 0.8.6

2012.08.02, Version 0.8.5 (Stable)

• node: tag Encode and friends NODE_EXTERN (Ben Noordhuis)

• fs: fix ReadStream / WriteStream missing callback (Gil Pedersen)

• fs: fix readFileSync("/proc/cpuinfo") regression (Ben Noordhuis)

• installer: don't assume bash is installed (Ben Noordhuis)...

doc: improve cluster.workers documentation

npm: Upgrade to 1.1.46

net: fix .listen({fd:0})

node: tag Encode and friends NODE_EXTERN

Makes the symbols visible on Windows. They were already visible on Unices.

Fixes #3811.

fs: fix readFileSync("/proc/cpuinfo") regression

Don't use positional reads. Not all proc files support pread(), especially on
older linux kernels.

Fixes #3808.

update profiling blog post to use shell redirection instead of -o

installer: don't assume bash is installed

Use `/bin/sh` instead of `bash` when running the relocate.sh script.

doc: http: document res.write() `drain` return value

docs: remove unused require from example

Closes GH-3801

deps, tools: remove stray reject files

doc: Remove timeout arg in child_process.fork

Fix #3784

Report errors properly from --eval and stdin

cluster: fix libuv assert in net.listen()

Problem: calling `server.listen()` (no port) on a net.Server triggered the
following libuv assertion:

node: ../deps/uv/src/unix/stream.c:406: uv__write: Assertion `fd_to_send >= 0'
  failed.

Cause: uv_tcp_t handles are lazily initialized. Omitting the port made the...

node: use variadic functions in ev-emul.h

Fixes #3786.

build: improve armv7 / hard-float detection

assert: remove unnecessary use of proto

AssertionError already inherits from Error above using util.inherits(),
so this extra line was redundant.

test/simple/test-assert.js already tests for `instanceof`, and still passes.

Now working on v0.8.5

Fix #3761 build: Default to V=1

Build: add jslintfix

net: fix Socket({ fd: 42 }) api

Make the implementation match the documentation. This should work:

var s = new net.Socket({ fd: 42, allowHalfOpen: true };

And now it does.

v8: Reapply floating patches

npm: Upgrade to 1.1.45

This includes node-gyp 0.6.1

debugger: wake up the event loop when a debugger command is dispatched

When the event loop was blocked in epoll / kqueue or similar, debugger
commands wouldn't be processed. This patch fixes that by adding an
uv_async handle which is triggered when a debugger command is...

doc: remove duplicate section

Fixes #3750.

tls: fix 'hostless' tls connection verification

And fix last failing tests

tls: localhost is valid against identity-check

tls: veryify server's identity

net: ignore socket.setTimeout(Infinity) (and NaN)

Blog post about v0.8.3

Merge branch 'v0.8.3-release' into v0.8

uv: Upgrade to 94355e4

build: unbreak ustack on smartos

I disabled the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections switches in 202df30
because they're horribly buggy with some gcc/binutils combos.

However, it turns out that the dtrace/ustack post-processing tool requires
that V8 is compiled with said switches and was broken because of it....

build: fix mksnapshot crash on sunos

Unconditionally compile V8 with -fno-strict-aliasing on all platforms.

gcc 4.5.2 on sunos generates bad code when -fstrict-aliasing is enabled, which
undoubtedly means that there are more buggy versions of gcc out there....

node: make ev-emul.h compile with -Wextra -Werror

Explicitly cast double to int64_t, it was making add-ons that compile with
`-Wall -Wextra -Werror` fail to build.

Don't use fully variadic macros, gcc in uber-strict mode rejects them.
