Question: 0.8 support?
jsdevel opened this issue · comments
I have a few libraries that currently support node 0.8. It would be great if I could use strip-bom. Thoughts? Thank you.
👍 as far as I can see there is no obvious reason why it's only for node >= 0.10 so I guess it's just minor tweaks in the package.json (one of them using ~ instead of ^ in the *dependencies section(s)) - please correct me if I'm wrong 😃
Nope, 0.8 is ancient (more than a year old!). Time to upgrade people.
Though the version requirement isn't enforced by node, so you can easily use it on 0.8, but please don't.
@sindresorhus I see - thanks.
Also ^ only means you need a newer npm, not node.
Ah, ok! I just thought so because the travis-ci build failed druing the npm install command - so the npm version seems bundled to the node version run on travis-ci(?). Good to know 👍
You can force a newer npm version with Travis: https://github.com/substack/node-browserify/blob/master/.travis.yml#L6
thanks a lot! 👍
