How Did We Get Here
summary
Timeline traces node from 0.10 through the io.js fork to convergence under the Node Foundation and a V4 LTS. Claims: commit activity and unique committers rebound (unique committers exceed 0.10 levels), release cadence moves to six‑month stable lines with LTS 18+12 months support, and V8 tracking improves while avoiding in‑branch V8 upgrades. Built artifacts and outcomes: predictable stable/LTS releases, a revived contributor base and ecosystem tooling including nsolid, and a core team of 45 committers that actually works.
