State minimum required version of Node.js

[crandmck]

For 4.x, this file indicates versions that are tested against. So we require Node.js 0.10 or later. While this is a very old version, we should still state it somewhere in the doc.

For 5.x, we need to indicate the required min version, which will be a more recent version, still TBD by the TC.

Agree, let's see if the community want to create a PR for this.

For 5.x, we need to indicate the required min version, which will be a more recent version, still TBD by the TC.

Just to summarize some conversations made recently, seems like we will be following the Node.js release schedule for new releases. Then in the case of v5.x I assume that we can target Node.js 18 as the minimum version.

Node: Node.js 18 end of life is targeted for 2025-04-30, details

Hi here!

I can take care of creating a couple of PRs to update this in the documentation if you agree!

@inigomarquinez Sure, thanks! But for 5.x I think the TC still hasn't come to a firm conclusion yet.

... Sorry, I stand corrected! I missed the above comment from @UlisesGascon
