## Minutes
|
||
|
||
### \[Converge\] timers: Avoid linear scan in `_unrefActive`. [#23](https://github.com/nodejs/node-convergence-archive/issues/23)
|
||
|
||
* James: conflicting approaches in both repos
|
||
* Ben: both are terrible under different workloads - do away with the code and start again
|
||
* Jeremiah: might have a go at it, working off an existing heap impl by Ben (ACTION)
|
||
* Bert: some problems with http - discussion happened about the implementation
|
||
* Chris: would be good to have Julien’s input since he was active on the joyent/node impl
|
||
|
||
### \[Converge\] child_process argument type checking [#22](https://github.com/nodejs/node-convergence-archive/issues/22)
|
||
|
||
* James: arg checking merged in 0.10 after the fork
|
||
* Discussion about why this wasn’t merged to io.js
|
||
* Defer back to GitHub discussion after no reason for not merging could be found on the call
|
||
|
||
### \[Converge\] SSLv2/3 disable/enable related commits [#20](https://github.com/nodejs/node-convergence-archive/issues/20)
|
||
|
||
* James: SSLv2/3 removed in io.js, merging these commits would involve reverting
|
||
* Jeremiah proposed 0.12 being the LTS for SSLv2/3 support
|
||
* Rod: are we happy killing this off?
|
||
* Michael: we don’t know how extensively it’s being used?
|
||
* James: pending research into that question we’ll leave this alone, come back if there’s a compelling reason to revert
|
||
|
||
### doc: Add new working groups [#15](https://github.com/nodejs/node-convergence-archive/pull/15)
|
||
|
||
* Michael: Benchmarking and Post Mortem Debugging working groups are ready and have started, i18n group needs a bit more work to get off the ground
|
||
* Group didn’t see any reason not to go forward with these groups, they have repos and can be in an “incubating” state for now
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Buffer implemented using Uint8Array [#1810](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1810)
|
||
|
||
* Trevor: Buffer using Uint8Array is now working, all applicable tests pass, currently behind a flag:
|
||
* Trevor Questions:
|
||
- Are we going with v8 4.3 or 4.4?
|
||
- If we go v8 4.3, do we want to release behind a flag?
|
||
- we still want an upper kMaxlength Buffer size limit?
|
||
* Ben: Buffer size limit should be safe to remove
|
||
* Rod: 4.3 and 4.4 both contain major breakage for native addons
|
||
* Discussed if we would like to delay 3.0 until v8 4.4
|
||
* Rod: no appetite here for delaying a 3.0 with 4.3, take discussion on that back to GitHub
|
||
* Ben: suggested we release new Buffer impl with a flag to revert to old impl, Jeremiah seconded
|
||
* Discussed how hard it would be to land and review
|
||
* Fedor: how does it work with 32bit numbers?
|
||
* Trevor: It acts the same as before
|
||
|
||
### \[Discussion\] FFI - Giving Buffer more low-level C functionality [#1750](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1750)
|
||
|
||
* Trevor: concerns about being able to write to buffers and execute arbitrary code
|
||
* Rod: concerned about changing the nature of what Node _is_ and the safety it exposes
|
||
* Ben suggested that we move this new work to an ffi module rather than hanging it off Buffer
|
||
- Group agreed to take this suggestion back to the issue for discussion
|
||
|
||
### Chrome 43 released; time for V8 4.3! [#1735](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1735)
|
||
|
||
* Concerns about deps forcing semver-major, the C++ API changes are big enough to warrant this though
|
||
|
||
### Deprecation Policy [#1704](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1704)
|
||
|
||
* Discussion dividing into two camps - conservative camp and those who want to test the size of the impact on the ecosystem
|
||
* Suggestion (Michael?) that we use LTS releases to determine when things get properly removed
|
||
* Discussed why we want a deprecation policy
|
||
|
||
### TSC needs to elect a board representative. [#1697](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1697)
|
||
|
||
* Deferred till next meeting - need to nominate and vote someone in to this role and should discuss how we want to structure the role in terms of rotation
|
||
|
||
### V8 4.4 to remove indexed properties via external data [#1451](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1451)
|
||
|
||
* Nothing to discuss, rolled up in to Buffer discussion earlier
|
||
|
||
## Next meeting
|
||
|
||
* June 3rd, 8PM UTC
