Dredd: Backport Node 6 support

[LinusU]

How about releasing v1.0.11 which just bumps the patch-version of protagonist so that we can get support for Node.js 6 in a non-pre version. This is currently causing problems in our CI and I would love a quick release of this ❤️

I can consider it, but it would mess up branches, since all the current work is in master now. I didn't really think anyone would need Node 6 that early after release and considered adding the support as _nice to have_ task. Honestly, I'd rather spend time with fixing the issues you have than backporting Node 6 support. Would you please help me with that and file issues related to problems you experience? Thanks!

[LinusU]

Actually, it's very easy to do it without messing up branches.

# Create a new branch for the 1.0.x release line, starting at the v1.0.10 tag
git checkout -b v1.0.x v1.0.10

# Apply the fix for Node.js 6
npm install --save [email protected]

# Make a commit
git commit -am 'Add support for Node 6'

# Cut a new patch release
npm version patch

# Publish the new branch to github
git push --follow-tags --set-upstream origin v1.0.x

# Publish to npm
npm publish

I would really appreciate if you would do this for me 👌

@honzajavorek I have reported my error with the pre-release here: #478. I would really appreciate it if you could publish a patch release to fix Node 6 compatibility while fixing the bugs in the newer version. I have outlined all the steps necessary, and it shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes...

@LinusU I'm sorry, but I couldn't react yesterday. Thanks very much for reporting the issue!

I created the v1.0.x branch. Once all integration tests pass, I'll make the release.

[LinusU]

No problem, thank you! 🎉

@honzajavorek Seems like the version wasn't published to npm, did you forget to run npm publish?

[honzajavorek]

Tests are still running :) https://travis-ci.org/apiaryio/dredd/builds/129089159

[LinusU]

Cool 👌

@honzajavorek All is green, time to publish 🙌

$ npm dist-tag ls
latest: 1.0.11
unstable: 1.1.0-pre.1

If I may present a wish here too, please do continue with testing 1.1.0-pre.x as it's tremendous help for us. We need to find and kill all regression issues.

Will do, thanks for resolving this 👍
