Hello,
As of commit 086b05a~[1], RESTBase is no longer supported on Node 0.1x. As
of now, this affects only RESTBase installs using the code directly from
the git repo, users installing it from npm or via mediawiki-containers are
not affected at this point.
Note that this breaking change will be part of the next RESTBase release,
v0.16.0, which we are planning to release next week. Please let us know if
this disrupts your workflow in any way.
Cheers,
Marko

Hello,
The Wikimedia Services team~[1] is strongly considering dropping the
support for Node 0.1x~[2], which would soon impact all MediaWiki
installations that use RESTBase~[3]. Eventually, the support for 0.1x would
also be dropped for Parsoid~[4]. We want to know if making such a move
would not be favourable to administrators running such installations. If
this impacts you, please let us know on the task~[2] so we can discuss in
detail the time-lines and possible solutions.
Note that there are already services that require Node 4 or higher, such
as Change Propagation~[5], Mathoid~[6] and the Mobile Content Service~[7].
If you are running any of these in your production environment, you are not
affected by the outcome of this discussion in any way.
Cheers,
Marko
