In 0.10, we cannot put it off any longer. We've bitten the bullet and
are making a significant change to the Stream implementation. You may
have seen conversations on twitter or IRC or the mailing list about
"streams2". I also gave [a talk in
November](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3685/presentations/streams2/streams2-ko.pdf)
about this subject. A lot of node module authors have been involved
with the development of streams2 (and of course the node core team),
and at this point, I'm confident that it's an improvement over what
we've got.
The first preview release with this change will be 0.9.4. I highly
recommend trying this release and providing feedback before it lands
in a stable version. Some polish is still required before 0.10, which
will likely be released late January, but at this point, it should be
considered feature-complete.
## streams2
The feature is described pretty thoroughly in the documentation, so
I'm including it below. Please read it, especially the section on
"compatibility".
The first preview release with this change will be 0.9.4. I highly
recommend trying this release and providing feedback before it lands
in a stable version.
As of this writing, there are some known performance regressions,
especially in the http module. We are fanatical about maintaining
performance in Node.js, so of course this will have to be fixed before
the v0.10 stable release. (Watch for a future blog post on the tools
and techniques that have been useful in tracking down these issues.)
There may be minor changes as necessary to fix bugs and improve
performance, but the API at this point should be considered feature
complete. It correctly does all the things we need it to do, it just
doesn't do them quite well enough yet. As always, be wary of running
unstable releases in production, of course, but I would like to
encourage you to try it out and see what you think. Especially, if
you have tests that you can run on your modules and libraries, that
would be extremely useful feedback.
