On nodejs.org, it says "Current Version: v0.12.7". Can someone explain why this discussion is about "v4"? I'm missing something…

They merged with the io.js fork which has already reached v3.x.

node.js got forked into io.js. io.js made a lot of improvements and changes, while trying to reconcile the fork and the reasons why it occurred. those have been reconciled.

io.js had many contributors and changes, starting at 1.0, they are now on 3.0. 4.0 is the full reconciliation with node.js, as part of the linux foundation.

So excited this is finally happening. I enjoy every bit of node I get to write, really excited for the updated features. Babel has taken a lot of the edge off, but I dont want to pull babel in for every script.

Most excited about v8 4.5. Native support for arrow functions and stuff like Array.from really makes the dev experience feel so much smoother.

This is huge. I've been using RxJS lately and arrow functions will make this 100x better.

When are they going to change the webpage and download to v4.x?

Check the timeline posted in the link... presumably it would be:

Thursday, 3rd of September:

Release v4.0.0.
