Hello everyone!
We are trying out an additional form of delivering our release notes. We’ve always included release notes on our GitHub. Also, recently started doing blog posts trying to make it a bit easier to consume.
But we’ve started using our forum to try to better interface and communicate with you the community, so this felt like it might be a good addition.
We would love to have your feedback. What way do you prefer to receive release notes?
Note: using higher than Node.js 8.9.4 will result in segfaults.
We are watching for node.js release with the fix, and will update you at that time
