I had a second go, and moved this under the Support section instead of Installation. I also added a comment about the Issues page, partly to balance the TideLift info. (I don't think Support would be the right place if we enforced the allowed Node version, but feels a reasonable fit since we are saying what we support rather than what is compatible.) |

Because of the bump in mocha version to 8.0, we can no longer run tests on Node.js v8.x and below: mochajs/mocha#4164 The fibers package at version 5.0 also doesn't support Node.js v10.x or lower, although it seems to work fine in my limited testing. The commander package requires node 6 or greater: tj/commander.js#1053

This version drops compatibility for Node.js <= 10.x, and as such is a semver major version bump. To be clear, the code in this package hasn't changed; we've just bumped the versions of dependencies. The `commander` dep requires node 6 ( tj/commander.js#1053 ) but the dev dependencies require Node.js <= 8.x and are unsupported on Node.js <= 10.x. I can't promise that things that aren't being tested continue to work.

Problem
We do not have a stated policy for node support, and have long wanted to be able to use some new javascript language features. I would like to be clear for myself what we can and can't use without breaking clients.
Related issue is #1045
Solution
Say that we only support node 8 and higher in the README.
As per #1045, I suggest we actually stick to features supported by node 6 for now.
(I deliberately have not put node 8 as an actual requirement in the
enginesfield in thepackage.jsonsince we are still work on older versions at least currently.)
