Hi, Elad.
1. Node 0.12 release date.
There's no fixed release date, just like it never was with any Node
version. It's done when it's done. I.e. when all planned features are
implemented and all performance regressions are addressed. Among the three
of the following:
- features
- performance
- release schedule
Node team consistently picks the first two, and it's the release schedule
that suffers. Node community agrees that it's the right strategy for a
project since the final releases are very stable and their behavior in
production environments is very predictable.
One thing that's certain - Node 0.12 will be released sometime later this
year. Isaac knows better, but given the track record of older releases
(0.8 and 0.10) I would say that November is a very realistic target.
Probably earlier, but who knows? So far there were 2 very early releases
of Node 0.11 without any significant changes shipped yet. So, Node team
will need time for development and stabilizing Node 0.11 first before
switching to 0.12.
2. Performance improvements.
Node is a mature project with most easy performance opportunities already
explored, and it's not going to magically become twice as fast. 2-5%
overall speedup with 2x speedups or 10% slowdowns in some particular
scenarios is something that you can safely expect. It means that on
TechEmpower benchmarks Node won't move significantly up or down due to a
new version release.
If this level of performance is not enough for your task, pick another
technology. Just make sure that you use a set of benchmarks that represent
your task closely enough. Most benchmarks don't since they are too generic
and too narrow in scope. Node is optimized for IO-bound tasks. If your
application spends most of the time talking to disk or to network Node
should work perfectly fine for you.

Node 0.12 is a stabilized version of Node 0.11 which is currently in
works. There

Hi All,
I'm a new Node fan, moving from classic java...
I have seen a few remarks from node developers on V0.12 with expected
performance enhancements.
My question : does anyone know when should this release is due ?I'm very
much into performance and last benchmarks on
http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ make me wonder what will be the
>improvement in the next release...
Thanks,
Elad.
