Minimum node version--5 (package.json) or 7 (readme)?

Does this mean it would run on 6, maybe better for production environments anyway?

Changed both to node 6.9.0 (version in LTS) and npm 3.10.8 as. if you are starting a new project, why would you use anything else.

React runs much faster in production mode than in development mode.
Based on how long Travis tests take to complete, node 6 runs significantly faster than 4.

In 0.3.1 when its pushed.

It's not that I would use 5, but I had just installed 6 and then read the docs and installed 7, when I could have stayed with 6. :) Anyway thanks for clarifying, looking forward to the next release.

Odd numbered Node versions are allowed to introduce breaking changes, even ones are not. So you use 7 to prepare for 8, which will be in Long Term Support. But its best not to use odd versions for production.

I assume you know of nvm-windows. It makes changing versions easy. (I use nvm on Ubuntu and nvm-windows is supposed to work the same way.)

[IBwWG]

Exactly. :)

Yes, but I had trouble running it out of the box. Seems to be a theme with me sometimes! nvm worked great for me on Linux Mint though.
