As the library is now passing practically all of the yaml-test-suite tests, along with any others I've been able to find, and there are no more required features that are missing, this might be the last release before 1.0.0. Therefore, this version has been released on npm with the latest tag, so from now on the install command is just:
npm install yaml
In terms of features, rc.7 has rather little to offer on top of rc.6:
parseCSTis now also included in the defaultYAMLexport- Add a test harness for yaml-test-suite event tests,
yaml/dist/test-events - Add a new default-false option,
keepCstNodes - Bugfix: Encode & decode URI escapes in tag suffixes
