I'd like to use this as an opportunity to remind everyone that Node.js v4 is going to be dead in about a month (support for it has ended long time ago, and now it's the end of extended support).
If you haven't upgraded Node in the last two years, this is the last call.
- abritinthebay 9y agoSlightly problematically - a lot of AWS's default Node infrastructure seems to still be using Node v4. I assume they'll be updating it but that was true as of last week.
- crispyporkbites 9y agoor what
- simonw 9y agoOr if any security vulnerabilities are discovered in it you will be running unpatched forever.
- Skunkleton 9y agoAnd of course you can expect a visit from the Node police.
- tonetheman 9y agoThe node police ... they randomly wipe out your server. Or randomly uninstall modules so your app does not work.
- antjanus 9y agothat's just the new NPM version
- Skunkleton 9y agoNo. They just give you a sensible, but stern, lecture about good security practices.
- JustAnotherPat 9y agoI'll take my chances
- overcast 9y agoFor what reason exactly? What point are you proving?
- orf 9y agoThat he is working somewhere without the foresight to upgrade their apps off a legacy, unsupported and potentially insecure versions of node, or that he himself can't summon willpower to do it I guess. Sucks to be him either way.
- z3t4 9y agoToo bad half the modules on npm wont work in 5+ And I don't blame people for not fixing breaking changes every third month. Ohh the module has less then 100 collaborators !? I better not use it then. Ohh it has not been updated within the last month ? Better not use it. The cool project that required beta version of node, now half a year later it's too old. The best part of nodej is code reuse. Not code re-write! /rant
- jdlshore 9y agoA bit overblown, don't you think?
- realPubkey 9y agoI use node 5+ since like forever. Next to every npm-module works for me. And if not, a node downgrade does not help.
- agmcleod 9y agoI think that person meant npm 5 perhaps?
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- realPubkey 9y agoGood point. Indeed npm breaks a lot of things also for me.
- abritinthebay 9y agoLike...?
- abritinthebay 9y agoWhich still isn't true, so I have no idea what they are talking about.
