A commit was made on Github with the mention of the day after tomorrow, the “v0.8” and “v0.8.0-release” branches appeared in the list of code branches , on June 19, the Node blog reported that version 0.7.12 would be the last in its branch 0.7

Corrections of one or another error in the code will not affect our programming with you (unless you have specifically come to bypass them before), so you will have to pay attention primarily to the accumulated minor changes in the API. Fortunately, the Node on Gietgab has a page “ API changes between v0.6 and v0.8 ”, in which all of them are neatly listed. It is easy to find that there are about 60 of them there, counting both the non-recommended, and the removed, and the changed, and the newly appeared possibilities.

Be sure to read that wiki page, first paying close attention to each deletion and change, because each of them, even the most logical and thoughtful, provides, above all, an extra opportunity to rude in a script or module.
