Drop Node EOL versions support #1709
Comments
We can make reasonable determinations about support from the download count of the release binaries. We get +2M installs a month so we should have a good data. Download counts are exposed via the HG release API. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#get-a-single-release |
OK, I looked at the 3.8.0 release metrics since it was around for 2 months. |
Dropping iojs support has come up a few times. My argument has always been that it really costs us nothing to support old version of Node at this point aside from CI time. Is there a particular reason you want to drop older versions? It's also worth noting we're planning to release LibSass 3.4 soon. This will essentially be a major version bump for LibSass. I was thinking this might be an opportune time to bump the major for node-sass if we had something to land. |
I see it as one of those "why can't I run Windows XP forever things". Yes, it still works, but it's better to encourage people off platforms that don't get security updates anymore (especially devs) |
I don't necessarily agree. It's not hurting anyone, doesn't cause any work for us. Either way I don't feel comfortable dropping any support without a major bump given the most people will lock to |
Looks like something went wrong here :) Mildly freaked out |
Ah, that's what happened #1705 was the one that was supposed to autoclose with that issue |
@nschonni So which versions are currently in-scope for removing within this issue? |
See #2111 |
This has been addressed in #2312 |
Since node is dropping it from even security patching https://nodejs.org/en/blog/community/v5-to-v7/
0.10 and 0.12 may need their own issues depending on the timing since they EOL October and December respectively.
