Back when I updated to 1.5 I tried to upgrade to NodeJS 8 and it puked.
I was told then (May 30, 2017) that NodeJS 8 was not supported. It it now?

I ask because I see NodeJS is up to v9.2.1 with v8.9.3 being the current LTS.
Node v6 - v8 is officially supported, though v9 may also work.
I still use v6 and it works great

Use old code all you want. I won’t. I prefer updated and secure code to old code.
Node v6 is still maintained.
I follow my Distos stable tree 6 is latest stable in Gentoo 
But it works fine!
No more issues with using v8 and destroying plugin dependencies? I may update to v8 then since it is the official LTS release now.

Maintained may be patched and secure, but it is not up to date.
@teh_g No, we've effectively resolved that problem in v1.7.1 (I believe... maybe it was v1.7.0).

Sweet! I got scared whenever I ran N in case I accidentally went to LTS instead of the 6.x branch.
@julian When moving between node versions, do I need to rerun npm install or anything?
Always best to, just in case 
I believe socket.io will need to rebuild its binaries.
