Back with another exciting release! This release brings beta release of end to end encryption! This one is pretty exciting! More details about that here: [https://rocket.chat/docs/user-guides/end-to-end-encryption/](https://rocket.chat/docs/user-guides/end-to-end-encryption/) It also brings blockstack as a decentralized auth provider. Ability to bring in files from webdav or save a file to your own webdav. Think Nextcloud 😉 Apps are now on by default! With that brings support for apps to define their own api endpoints.

I’ve come to see that you give an official node version as a reference version. While I find this to be good in general, currently `8.11.3` is not the latest version. If `8.11.4` would have been a maintenance-only release, I’d see no problem, yet it is a security-release. Quoting from the [release notes](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v8.11.4/): > **This is a security release, fixing a number of vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and Node.js.** Refer to the [August 2018 Security Releases](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/august-2018-security-releases/) announcement for full details. > > ### Notable Changes > > - **buffer** : Fix out-of-bounds (OOB) write in `Buffer.write()` for UCS-2 encoding (CVE-2018-12115) > - **deps** : Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2p, fixing: > - Client DoS due to large DH parameter (CVE-2018-0732) > - ECDSA key extraction via local side-channel (CVE not assigned) So my suggestion would be to update 🙂 I know this causes testing efforts… but what can you do… it’s security. **EDIT** : Ah! As I see just know, even `8.12.0` is out (though not listing security-changes). Cheers Thomas ---

So our official node version is actually based on the version the particular meteor version is tested against. It might be possible for us to recommend 8.11.4 since just a security fix. In the past there have been issues (I think you encountered them actually) when using slightly newer version of node.js. Will take a look into it. 😄 ---

In the past there have been issues (I think you encountered them actually) when using slightly newer version of node.js. Indeed I have, very much so 😃 I myself will always default to using the latest version of node.js unless it’s explicitly known to cause issues. So I guess adhering to Meteor suggestions is indeed the better choice for the general audience. Cheers & thanks for getting back Thomas
