								***Node-core string_decoder for userland***
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This package is a mirror of the string_decoder implementation in Node-core.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Full documentation may be found on the [Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.9.4/docs/api/).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								As of version 1.0.0 **string_decoder** uses semantic versioning.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Previous versions
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Previous version numbers match the versions found in Node core, e.g. 0.10.24 matches Node 0.10.24, likewise 0.11.10 matches Node 0.11.10.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Update
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The *build/* directory contains a build script that will scrape the source from the [nodejs/node](https://github.com/nodejs/node) repo given a specific Node version.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Streams Working Group
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`string_decoder` is maintained by the Streams Working Group, which
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								oversees the development and maintenance of the Streams API within
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Node.js. The responsibilities of the Streams Working Group include:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Addressing stream issues on the Node.js issue tracker.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Authoring and editing stream documentation within the Node.js project.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Reviewing changes to stream subclasses within the Node.js project.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Redirecting changes to streams from the Node.js project to this
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  project.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Assisting in the implementation of stream providers within Node.js.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Recommending versions of `readable-stream` to be included in Node.js.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Messaging about the future of streams to give the community advance
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  notice of changes.
