+
+### Notable changes
+
+* **build**: Support for building io.js as a static library (Marat Abdullin) [#1341](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1341)
+* **deps**: Upgrade openssl to 1.0.2a (Shigeki Ohtsu) [#1389](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1389)
+* **npm**: Upgrade npm to 2.8.3. See the [release notes](https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.8.3) for details. Includes improved git support. Summary:
+  * [`387f889`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/387f889c0e8fb617d9cc9a42ed0a3ec49424ab5d)
+  [#7961](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7961) Ensure that hosted git SSH
+  URLs always have a valid protocol when stored in `resolved` fields in
+  `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
+  * [`394c2f5`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394c2f5a1227232c0baf42fbba1402aafe0d6ffb)
+  Switch the order in which hosted Git providers are checked to `git:`,
+  `git+https:`, then `git+ssh:` (from `git:`, `git+ssh:`, then `git+https:`) in
+  an effort to go from most to least likely to succeed, to make for less
+  confusing error message. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
+  * [`431c3bf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/431c3bf6cdec50f9f0c735f478cb2f3f337d3313)
+  [#7699](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7699) `[email protected]`:
+  Don't send body with HTTP GET requests when logging in.
+  ([@smikes](https://github.com/smikes))
+  * [`15efe12`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/15efe124753257728a0ddc64074fa5a4b9c2eb30)
+  [#7872](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7872) Use the new version of
+  `hosted-git-info` to pass along credentials embedded in git URLs. Test it.
+  Test it a lot. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
+  * [`b027319`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b0273190c71eba14395ddfdd1d9f7ba625297523)
+  [#7920](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7920) Scoped packages with
+  `peerDependencies` were installing the `peerDependencies` into the wrong
+  directory. ([@ewie](https://github.com/ewie))
+  * [`6b0f588`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/6b0f58877f37df9904490ffbaaad33862bd36dce)
+  [#7867](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7867) Use git shorthand and git
+  URLs as presented by user. Support new `hosted-git-info` shortcut syntax.
+  Save shorthand in `package.json`. Try cloning via `git:`, `git+ssh:`, and
+  `git+https:`, in that order, when supported by the underlying hosting
+  provider. ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23))
+* **src**: Allow multiple arguments to be passed to process.nextTick (Trevor Norris) [#1077](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1077)
+* **module**: The interaction of `require('.')` with `NODE_PATH` has been restored and deprecated. This functionality
+will be removed at a later point. (Roman Reiss) [#1363](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1363)

+### Known issues
+
+* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1264).
+* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal [#690](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/690)
+* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/760) and fix in [#774](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/774)
+* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion [#894](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/894)
+* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1435).
+* readline: split escapes are processed incorrectly, see [#1403](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1403)
