v6.5.1 deps and Node.js 6.x

[XhmikosR]

@SBoudrias: it seems you did some major version updates in dependencies and those drop Node.js 6.x support, like:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

And for devDependencies [email protected]

But the package was published as a patch version. This violates semver and will break things. I suggest that you downgrade to the previous versions that supported Node.js 6.x, release a 6.5.2 version and then, if you want to bump those deps, make it major version bump.

Friendly bump @SBoudrias. This is quite a serious regression that affects the ecosystem.

BTW don't get me wrong, I'm all for dropping Node.js 6.x support, but should be done properly with a major version bump after a patch has been released to restore 6.x support.

@SBoudrias I fully agree with @XhmikosR comment:

I maintain graphql-js and we plan to drop Node.js 6.x but we plan to make major release next month so this situation creates a lot of inconveniences.
Can you please release 6.5.2 at supports Node v6?

FWIW, this is also causing a bit of issues in the Ember ecosystem. Many packages have already updated to drop Node 6 support (with major version bumps) but some are waiting for specific circumstances to do a major version bump (e.g. a new feature on the way).

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll release a rollback on the 6.x series and bump latest to 7.x

Just give me a few days to have time to handle this.

[SBoudrias]

Actually I took some time right now to do this. Should be fine now:

New versions:

• v7.x is latest master, it drops supports for Node 6
• v6.5.2 who's v6.5.0 republished to replace v6.5.1

Thanks!

Thank you very much @SBoudrias! Sorry for the extra work, but it was very much appreciated.
