2015-03-06 io.js v1.5.0 Release

Notable changes:

* buffer: New `Buffer#indexOf()` method, modelled off `Array#indexOf()`.
  Accepts a String, Buffer or a Number. Strings are interpreted as UTF8.
  (Trevor Norris) #561
* fs: `options` object properties in `'fs'` methods no longer perform a
  `hasOwnProperty()` check, thereby allowing options objects to have
  prototype properties that apply. (Jonathan Ong)
  #635
* tls: A likely TLS memory leak was reported by PayPal. Some of the recent
  changes in stream_wrap appear to be to blame. The initial fix is in
  #1078, you can track the progress
  toward closing the leak at
  #1075 (Fedor Indutny).
* npm: Upgrade npm to 2.7.0. See npm CHANGELOG.md:
  https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v270-2015-02-26
  for details including why this is a semver-minor when it could have
  been semver-major.
* TC: Colin Ihrig (@cjihrig) resigned from the TC due to his desire to do
  more code and fewer meetings.

 # io.js ChangeLog
 
+## 2015-03-06, Version 1.5.0, @rvagg
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* **buffer**: New `Buffer#indexOf()` method, modelled off [`Array#indexOf()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf). Accepts a String, Buffer or a Number. Strings are interpreted as UTF8. (Trevor Norris) [#561](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/561)
+* **fs**: `options` object properties in `'fs'` methods no longer perform a `hasOwnProperty()` check, thereby allowing options objects to have prototype properties that apply. (Jonathan Ong) [#635](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/635)
+* **tls**: A likely TLS memory leak was reported by PayPal. Some of the recent changes in **stream_wrap** appear to be to blame. The initial fix is in [#1078](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1078), you can track the progress toward closing the leak at [#1075](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1075) (Fedor Indutny).
+* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.7.0. See [npm CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v270-2015-02-26) for details including why this is a semver-minor when it could have been semver-major. Summary:
+  * [`145af65`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/145af6587f45de135cc876be2027ed818ed4ca6a)
+    [#4887](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4887) Replace calls to the
+    `node-gyp` script bundled with npm by passing the
+    `--node-gyp=/path/to/node-gyp` option to npm. Swap in `pangyp` or a version
+    of `node-gyp` modified to work better with io.js without having to touch
+    npm's code!  ([@ackalker](https://github.com/ackalker))
+  * [`2f6a1df`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/2f6a1df3e1e3e0a3bc4abb69e40f59a64204e7aa)
+    [#1999](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1999) Only run `stop` and `start`
+    scripts (plus their pre- and post- scripts) when there's no `restart` script
+    defined. This makes it easier to support graceful restarts of services
+    managed by npm.  ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde) /
+    [@scien](https://github.com/scien))
+  * [`448efd0`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/448efd0eaa6f97af0889bf47efc543a1ea2f8d7e)
+    [#2853](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2853) Add support for `--dev` and
+    `--prod` to `npm ls`, so that you can list only the trees of production or
+    development dependencies, as desired.
+    ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+  * [`a0a8777`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a0a87777af8bee180e4e9321699f050c29ed5ac4)
+    [#7463](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7463) Split the list printed by
+    `npm run-script` into lifecycle scripts and scripts directly invoked via `npm
+    run-script`. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+  * [`a5edc17`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a5edc17d5ef1435b468a445156a4a109df80f92b)
+    [#6749](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6749) `[email protected]`:
+    Support for passing scopes to `npm init` so packages are initialized as part
+    of that scope / organization / team. ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
+* **TC**: Colin Ihrig (@cjihrig) resigned from the TC due to his desire to do more code and fewer meetings.
+
