Hi guys. What do I need to upgrade my NodeJS to before upgrading NodeBB? Sorry, kind of a noob.

[PitaJ]

@Michael-Pfaff you need at least Node 8, but I recommend Node 10, as it's the latest LTS

Great, thanks. I feel like last time I upgraded Node it broke NodeBB, so it's been a while. I'll upgrade to 10.

Sorry for post here. We have a lot of plugins that now are breaked in v1.11.0. Because plugins authors delay to fix them, can help me to do a dirty fix to these? I knows JS and nodeJS. But no knows internals of NodeBB plugins architecture. These are the errors

Thank you so much. Really we need these plugins.

Those are just warnings the plugins should still work, I am sending PRs to those plugins to fix the warnings.

[faizanzahid]

@baris thabks alot , we r waiting for new version of node bb with plugins compatibility before we di update coz we r using many plugins which might break.

@fais3000

[PitaJ]

@faizanzahid the current version of NodeBB still has compatibility with those plugins. Future version will not.
