why node.js upgrade version 0.12.x directly to 4.0.0?

I guess there maybe some reasons with io.js, but I don't know the history.

Could someone explain this history:

  1. What's the relationship between node.js and io.js?
  2. why node.js doesn't have version 1, 2, but directly release version 4.0.0?

  1. io.js was a fork of node.js. The two projects converged recently.

  2. This discrepancy is explained in many different places on the web, including on the nodejs.org in the news section here. Specifically this part of the announcement:

    Named version 4.0.0 because it includes major updates from io.js version 3.0.0
