[DOCS] Readme declares incorrect node support matrix

[nbbeeken]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This is a CLI Docs Problem, not another kind of Docs Problem.

• This is a CLI Docs Problem.

Description of Problem

The readme says:

18.x.x >= 18.17.0
20.5.0 or higher

The package.json engine field says:

  "engines": {
    "node": "^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0"
  }

Potential Solution

I assume the latter is the truth, would someone be able to confirm? Readme update should be trivial. Unfortunately, npm won't show the correct matrix until the next release.

Affected URL

Should this be mentioned in the release as well: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v11.0.0? There is a conspicuous lack of "breaking changes" as there was in v10: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v10.0.0 🤔 something amiss with the release generate tooling?

Release notes have been fixed, ty!

this bug just completely broke our docker build for our community application
https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/actions/runs/12399121550/job/34613368323
docs indeed state 20.5.x but the package.json states 20.17.x,
but whats more annoying is alpine package repo only have 20.15.x installed
so we have to move to alpine 3.21 to install node 22 instead which we didnt want to do yet
