I've recently gotten into Node and it has been such an awesome and fun time. Anyone on the fence about it should definitely go and try it out.

The particulars of semantic versioning aside, am I the only one who chuckles at "Stable" being applied to version-zero releases?

Stable mean feature complete. Not bug free.

You are probably not the only one, it do not mean you're right either.

Stable mean that they will support this set of feature for some time, that's all.

Usually a release would be marked for a stable release after a decent amount of testing... so, it should be relatively bug free. Having a new release just a few hours after this one doesn't instill a lot of confidence in their testing.

From the mailing list this is an npm fix mostly for OSX:

    The main fix here is letting users on Mac to upgrade globally installed modules. Also the linux binaries have been rebuilt with an older glibc so people with older systems will actually be able to use it.
