Every npm version bump requires a few patches to be floated on node-gyp for io.js compatibility. These patches are found in 03d1992, 5de334c, and da730c7. This commit squashes them into a single commit. PR-URL: nodejs#990 Reviewed-By: Ben Noordhuis <[email protected]>
On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This causes many compiled addons to break when node.exe or iojs.exe are
renamed, because when the binary has been renamed the addon DLL can't
find the (right) .exe file to load its imports from.
This patch gives compiled addon developers an option to overcome this
restriction by compiling a delay-load hook into their binary. The
delay-load hook ensures that whenever a module tries to load imports
from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just look at the process image, thereby
making the addon work regardless of what name the node/iojs binary has.
To enable this feature, the addon developer must set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in their binding.gyp file, like
this:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

A relatively minor release for npm as we continue to work to improve npm's git integration:
178a6ad#7202 When caching git dependencies, do so by the whole URL, including the branch name, so that if a single application depends on multiple branches from the same repository (in practice, multiple version tags), every install is of the correct version, instead of reusing whichever branch the caching process happened to check out first. (@iarna)63b79cc#8084 Ensure that Bitbucket, GitHub, and Gitlab dependencies are installed the same way as non-hosted git dependencies, fixingnpm install --link. (@laiso)Lots of small documentation tweaks and dependency upgrades, as detailed in the full release notes.
