While it's true that error objects have a history of getting snake_case
properties attached by the host system, it's a point of confusion to
Node users that comes up a lot. It's still 'experimental', so best to
change this sooner rather than later.
This adds a process._fatalException method which is called into from
C++ in order to either emit the 'uncaughtException' method, or emit
'error' on the active domain.
The 'uncaughtException' event is an implementation detail that it would
be nice to deprecate one day, so exposing it as part of the domain
machinery is not ideal.
Fix#4375
Make `fs.createReadStream({ end: 42 })` work.
Before this commit, it worked only when used like this:
`fs.createReadStream({ start: 0, end: 42 })` - only when `start` was specified
by the caller.
Fixes#4423.
Remove a lot of branches from the inner loop. Speeds up buf.toString('base64')
by about 20%.

$ time out/Release/node benchmark/buffer-base64-encode.js

Noted in @shtylman's #3898, API stability notes are easy to overlook
in the html documentation. This can be especially troublesome if the API
is deprecated. This commit gives visual feedback by adding in a class
to the html docs when they're generated. The API headers with
corresponding colors are also listed in the 'About this Documentation'
page for easy reference.
socket.readyState, .readable, and .writable behavior changed as
a result of the new streaming interfaces. Updated to be backwards
compatible with current API and adds regression test.
closes#4461
Fix a bug where calling .end() on a socket without calling .connect() first
throws a TypeError:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'shutdown' of undefined
at Socket.onSocketFinish (net.js:194:20)
at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:91:17)
at Socket.Writable.end (_stream_writable.js:281:10)
at Socket.end (net.js:352:31)
Fixes#4463.
When building custom `node` versions (e.g., floating features/fixes from
different versions) it's often useful to specify a custom tag which
easily identifies build when invoking `node -v`.
Introduce a way to specify this tag in `node_version.h` file or by
running `./configure --tag="<tag>"`. Insert it right after the patch
version (and before `-pre`, if build is not a release).
Closes#4452.
Fixes#3226.
Consider a production server that uses a REPL to debug. Creating the instance
would wipe out the global cache of modules, and subsequent "require" calls in
the server would be reloaded from disk. The REPL should observe only, without
altering, its environment.
Starting a line with `**bold**` text makes it think that it's a link,
and get confused.
This should really be fixed properly in the doc generator, but for now,
it's not a major issue. It's probably just a matter of updating marked.
