ricellis opened a new pull request #87: 63 update engine
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano/pull/87
 
 
   ## Overview
   
   <!-- Please give a short brief for the pull request,
        what problem it solves or how it makes things better. -->
   Updated the minimum Node.js engine in `package.json` to 6. This is currently the oldest available LTS release of Node.js. Moving to a Node.js version >4 unblocks upgrades of `request` to versions > 2.81.0 so the workaround from fc794b202bd68bef785564b35f3071b418215fcb to pin to 2.81.0 can be safely removed (although it appears that #73 already moved it to 2.83.0). With Node.js 6 it should be safe to move back to backwards compatible changes.
   
   ## Testing recommendations
   
   `npm install` will give a warning on Node.js versions older than 6.
   
   ## GitHub issue number
   
   #63 
   
   ## Checklist
   
   - [x] Code is written and works correctly; - No new code `package.json` and `request` dependency version change only.
   - [x] Changes are covered by tests; - tests pass locally for me.
   - [x] Documentation reflects the changes; - updated `README` to mention the minimum version.
