I was originally going to do this after the v0.11.15 release, but as that release is three weeks overdue now, I decided not to wait any longer; we don't want the delta to get too big.

io.js
This repository began as a GitHub fork of joyent/node. io.js contributions, releases, and contributorship are under an open governance model. We intend to land, with increasing regularity, releases which are compatible with the npm ecosystem that has been built to date for node.js.
Is it io.js or IO.js or iojs or IOjs or iOjS?
The official name is io.js, which should never be capitalized, especially not at the start of a sentence, unless it is being displayed in a location that is customarily all-caps (such as the title of man pages.)
To build:
Prerequisites (Unix only):
gccandg++4.8 or newer, orclangandclang++3.3 or newer- Python 2.6 or 2.7
- GNU Make 3.81 or newer
- libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure
make
make install
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a non-standard name, run the following instead:
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install
Prerequisites (Windows only):
- Python 2.6 or 2.7
- Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Desktop, or
- Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop
Windows:
vcbuild nosign
You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location in which to install. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
Or system-wide with:
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
make test
Windows:
vcbuild test
To build the documentation:
make doc
To read the documentation:
man doc/node.1
Intl (ECMA-402) support:
Intl support is not enabled by default.
"small" (English only) support
This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
the full Intl (ECMA-402) APIs. With --download=all it will
download the ICU library as needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
Windows:
vcbuild small-icu download-all
The small-icu mode builds
with English-only data. You can add full data at runtime.
Note: more docs are on the wiki.
Build with full ICU support (all locales supported by ICU):
With the --download=all, this may download ICU if you don't
have an ICU in deps/icu.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --download=all
Windows:
vcbuild full-icu download-all
Build with no Intl support :-(
The Intl object will not be available.
This is the default at present, so this option is not normally needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=none
Windows:
vcbuild intl-none
Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):
pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
Build with a specific ICU:
You can find other ICU releases at
the ICU homepage.
Download the file named something like icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz (or
.zip).
Unix/Macintosh: from an already-unpacked ICU
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu
Unix/Macintosh: from a local ICU tarball
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu.tgz
Unix/Macintosh: from a tarball URL
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --with-icu-source=http://url/to/icu.tgz
Windows: first unpack latest ICU to deps/icu
icu4c-##.#-src.tgz (or .zip)
as deps/icu (You'll have: deps/icu/source/...)
vcbuild full-icu
