I can't believe you managed to get this submitted to HN before I did. That's what I get for posting it to twitter before coming here ;D Since I knew the URL, I could have totally cheated and done it before even uploading the blog post.
Now, quickly release 0.8.1 and make sure you beat everyone ;)
Joke aside, thanks for the great new release. I'm running 0.6 in production sometimes with 3000+ connected users and will soon need to scale. Being able to do so just by upgrading to 0.8 will make my life easier... until many more users come, of course.
You got to give him props, he set an alarm to post it lol.

Isaac said it would be out in 15:00 UTC, and it was out in 15:00 UTC... I was studying for my exam, my alarm went off and bam! There's the blog post - It was amazing.

Was there a prize for the first person that posted this?
You're probably missing some necessary context here: Isaac is the maintainer of Node.js. So the funny thing is that pooriaazimi was so excited to post this to Hacker News that he beat the project's own maintainer to the punch.

Of course not. Just a few seconds of joy, that our favorite platform has reached another milestone...
I posted the above comment to say I was really happy and all (and I wasn't trying to be an ass) - I wish people would stop upvoting that stupid, non-constructive comment (for some reason, it has 10 upvotes).

Welcome to HN, the show where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
Wrt the Cluster module, the autoFork method is mentioned a couple of times in the code examples, but isn't documented. Does it actually exist?

Yeah, that looks like a bug in the docs. It does not actually exist. https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/3532
Anyone have a TLDR on what new functionality has been added to cluster? I skimmed the API and the changes didn't jump out.

If you mean changes between 0.7.15+ and 0.8.0, nothing really significant. But if you mean changes between 0.6.x and 0.8.0, well, almost everything has changed!
Sorry for the non-answer... But take a look at https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/API-changes-between-v0.6... and https://groups.google.com/d/forum/nodejs-dev for change log (in 0.7 branch).
Ah, thanks!
But I'm incredibly happy about this release, specially about the 'new' cluster API[1] that has made my life a whole lot easier! So apologies for being a karma whore, but I was so glad I couldn't resist, if you know what I mean...
