As discussed on the mailing list: the module will not go away but the
API will continue to receive updates as the need arises.

Currently fs.watch does not have an option to specify if a directory
should be recursively watched for events across all subdirectories.
Several file watcher APIs support this. FSEvents on OS X > 10.5 is
one example. libuv has added support for FSEvents, but fs.watch had
no way to specify that a recursive watch was required.
fs.watch now has an additional boolean option 'recursive'. When set
to true, and when supported, fs.watch will return notifications for
the entire directory tree hierarchy rooted at the specified path.
Previous behaviour was to drop to an openssl prompt
("Enter PEM pass phrase:") when supplying a private key with a
passphrase. This change adds a fourth, optional, paramter that
will be used as the passphrase.
To include this parameter in a backwards compatible way it was
necessary to expose the previously undocumented (and unexposed)
feature of being able to explitly setting the output encoding.
- fixed some incomprehensible wording ("event assigned to..."?)
- removed undocumented and unnecessary process properties from example
- corrected the docs on the default for the exec setting
- described when workers are removed from cluster.workers
- described addressType, which was documented as existing, but not what
values it might have
- spell out more clearly the limitations of setupMaster
- describe disconnect in sufficient detail that why a child does or does
not exit can be understood
- clarify which cluster functions and events are available on process or
just on the worker, as well as which are not available in children,
- don't describe events as the same, when they have receive different
arguments
- fix misleading disconnect example: since disconnect already calls
close on all servers, doing it again in the example is a no-op, not
the "force close" it was claimed to be
- document the error event, not catching it will kill your node
- describe suicide better, it is important, and a bit unintuitive
(process.exit() is not suicide?)
- use worker consistently throughout, instead of child.
- Make explicit that .disconnected is set before the disconnect event,
and it is not allowed to send messages after calling .disconnect(),
even while waiting for a delayed disconect event.
- Remove obsolete claim that explicit exit is required
- Describe silent: in the options for fork()
- Describe .connected as the property it is, not just as an aside in
the disconnect() method
A follow-up commit will save the domain name on the request object but
we can't call that property 'domain' because that gets intercepted by
src/node.cc and lib/domain.js to implement the node.js feature of the
same name.
To avoid confusion, rename all variables called 'domain' to 'hostname'.
Add a short explanation of what the load average is and why it's
unavailable on Windows.
Also sneak in a fix for a typo that I introduced in commit 56c5806.
* Extend examples to show how to handle non-constructor invocation in
constructor callback functions.
* Fix up examples to initialize member variables at object construction.
* Fix up a few naming inconsistencies.
Fixes #5701.
Apparently Joyent decommissioned joyeur.com but at least they saved the
contents of the blog. Update the links in the README and the nodejs.org
blog posts.
Hat tip to Eugen Pirogoff (@eugenpirogoff) for pointing it out.
Fixes #6224.
Since it is Unix tradition to use exit code 1 for general-purpose script
bail-out, and the way of doing that in Node is to throw an exception and
not catch it, it makes the most sense to exit with 1 when an exception
goes uncaught.
Move the `Invalid Argument` exit to 9, so that it's something specific,
and clear that it's a node internal error.
Also, document the exit codes that we use.
