node v.0.11.x support

[Venemo]

Hi,

Have they removed ObjectWrap? That's interesting. Anyway, yes, I do plan to port it to the new Node.js version but I ask for a bit of patience here, because at the moment I'm quite caught up in exams. :)

[johnnycrab]

That sounds great, thanks a lot and good luck for the exams! :)

You should have a look at @rvagg's "nan" module on npmjs, it allows you to make addons somewhat version independent.

[Venemo]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Venemo]

I'll probably have the time to fix it this week. Thank you for your patience!

[johnnycrab]

Any updates on this? :)

[Venemo]

I've been caught up in some life issues, but haven't forgotten about this module. Stay tuned, it's coming soon :)

Hi @johnnycrab,

So I've finally managed to find the time for this. Sorry for taking so long. I'm trying to get a hold of node 0.11 (at this moment 0.10 still seems to be the latest and node-lmdb builds on it just fine). Will let you know how I progress.

[Venemo]

I now have a rudimentary version that compiles against node v0.11.14 but it's still rough and has a few bugs, but I'm on the good way. You were right, nan is indeed of great assistance, although I can't help but feel that it's just a heap of hacks. :)

[rvagg]

NAN is the very definition of a pile of hacks, but it's the best pile of hacks we have at our disposal!

[Venemo]

@rvagg No offence meant. As I said, it's a great help. :)
(The only thing that was missing so far was support for external string resources, but I handled that with an ifdef of my own.)

[rvagg]

external strings should be handled, feel free to steal code from https://github.com/rvagg/node-leveldown/ to make this work, the code here was forked from there initially and will still loo very similar. LevelDOWN is now using recent NAN to get 0.11.14 support.

[MarkSwanson]

@Venemo need a beta tester?

[Venemo]

@MarkSwanson sure! I'll let you know when it's in a testable state :)

[Venemo]

@johnnycrab @justmoon So I think I can close this issue now, right?
