OK I will definitely do that for the next release, which I hope to get working on in the next few days. I will go over all the pending pull requests and issues.

I’m relatively new to Javascript and this is my first major open source project, so thanks for all your help!

Official NPM documentation specifies “engines” as the correct field.

I am going to add this:

"engines" : {
    "node" : ">=4.0.0"
  }

It should work on both LTS and latest version, and be tested against both.
