| 2 | + |
| 3 | +#### THE GREAT NODEv4 SAGA |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +So [Node 4 is out now](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.0.0/) and that's |
| 6 | +going to involve a number of things over in npm land. Most importantly, it's the |
| 7 | +last major release that will include the `2.x` branch of npm. That also means |
| 8 | +that `2.x` is going to go into LTS mode in the coming weeks -- once `npm@3` |
| 9 | +becomes our official `latest` release. You can most likely expect Node 5 to |
| 10 | +include `npm@3` by default, whenever that happens. We'll go into more detail |
| 11 | +about LTS at that point, as well, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements! |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +#### NODE IS DEAD. LONG LIVE NODE! |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Node 4 being released means that a few things that used to be floating patches |
| 16 | +are finally making it right into npm proper. This week, we've got two such |
| 17 | +updates, both to dependencies: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +* [`505d9e4`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/505d9e40c13b8b0bb3f70ee9886f7b73ba569407) |
| 20 | + `[email protected]`: Support for node nightlies and compilation for both node and |
| 21 | + io.js without extra patching |
| 22 | + ([@rvagg](https://github.com/rvagg)) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +[@thefourtheye](https://github.com/thefourtheye) was kind enough to submit a |
| 25 | +*bunch * of PRs to npm's dependencies updating them to `[email protected]`, which |
| 26 | +mainly makes it so we're no longer monkey-patching `fs`. The following are all |
| 27 | +updates related to this: |
| 28 | + |
