Problem
The Node.js Package Maintenance group have been working on clarifying how packages are supported. This blog calls for package maintainers to join in by adding support details.
We won't see any immediate benefits ourselves by adding this info, but doing our bit to provide the info for future tooling to make use of in the long term.
Solution
Added support details, using the
supporttool to create initial version and validate.I kept changing my mind about what target versions to say we support: https://github.com/nodejs/package-maintenance/blob/main/docs/PACKAGE-SUPPORT.md#support-target
I think
supportedbest reflects the versions we support, which includes newer versions of node than LTS. We test all these versions in the testing matrix intests.ymland will fix bugs and answer questions aboutcurrentandactiveversions, and not just LTS versions.
