Dropping support for Node.js 0.12 in upcoming releases #15

Closed rblopes closed 7 years ago

rblopes commented 8 years ago

This notice is a heads-up to the people using generator-phaser-plus under old Node.js releases. Currently, generator-phaser-plus is developed ensuring its compatible with the old Node.js 0.12 series.

In order to keep evolving the program and deliver the best Yeoman generator for Phaser Web game projects for everyone, I've decided it's time to push the boundaries a bit further. That means the currently planned 0.7.x will be the last version guaranteed to work with Node.js 0.12.

After that, the base Node.js version of generator-phaser-plus will become Node 4.

If you're a Node.js developer, no matter if a casual or a professional one, using Phaser and generator-phaser-plus to create games, you're encouraged to upgrade to, at least, the latest stable Node.js release.

How I know which Node.js version I'm running?

Just fire up your terminal emulator or command prompt of choice and run node --version.

What to expect when these changes take effect?

Developers using Node.js 0.12 will no longer be able to update the generator-phaser-plus package using npm, and both generator and its template projects are expected to no longer work under Node.js environments older than release 4.0, giving errors and not being able to run.

Why Node.js 4?

It's the current LTS release, supported by the Node.js Foundation until March 2018. Also, Node.js 0.12 end-of-life is scheduled to the end of December 2016.
