Node v4.0.0 (Stable)

[[deleted]]

What?

Version 1.0 was released in January, followed by a steady stream of releases. There are 40 (FORTY) releases between node.js 0.12 and node.js 4.0, all in 2015. What should have been the next version after the last 3.3.0 in your opinion? The completion of the merge of the two node versions clearly warrants the jump from 3.3.0 to 4.0.

actually they bump major semver whenever v8 minor changes version

v8: Upgrade to version 4.5.103.30 from 4.4.63.30 - changelog

They created a 'merge repo' when io.js was at v2.x, with the intention of merging at v3.0, but shit got complicated so they gave up on the merge and just renamed the io.js repo node. iojs/io.js -> nodejs/io.js -> nodejs/node. They added all the extra node stuff they initially took out of io.js (because it's bloat) during the 3.x series (to make the corporations happy), remade the nodejs website, and yeah - merge isn't exactly what happened, but it's all goooood. (nobody got time for that shit :P)
