It'd be mighty swell to land #758 now that bnoordhuis and trevnorris LGTM'd it :D

[mscdex]

And #847 ;-)

[rvagg]

yes, it would be nice to land both of them, and others.. I'd like #894 to be fixed for instance.

But, we need to set and maintain a more rapid release cycle and avoid the mindset that releases should be held up to get particular things in--both for the sake of getting a release out and for the sake of making sure we take care before merging things that probably need further discussion.

Just remember that it'll likely be under a week after merging that your favourite pull request is finally merged, this ain't no 0.12.

[chrisdickinson]

This all LGTM.

[Qard]

LGTM.

[rvagg]

aaaactually, npm@2.6.0 is a minor version bump, does anybody have objections to bumping minor when npm bumps minor? see discussion @ #904 (comment) @iojs/tc

that would make this 1.4.0

[indutny]

@rvagg let's land #926 as it compliments StreamBase a lot.

[rvagg]

@indutny sounds like you have a LGTM from Chris so go for it, just make sure you tag it if it's supposed to be semver-minor, we're programatically relying on those tags now

[indutny]

@rvagg there is also a security update in libuv that will happen today.

[indutny]

@rvagg libuv/libuv#222

[indutny]

@rvagg On other hand if @saghul won't be around - it should not block us.

[rvagg]

updated original description with newer changelog including SEMVER-MINOR tag for npm
