How to bump Renovate to next NodeJS LTS release

When will Renovate update its support for LTS versions?

  • We will add a new LTS version as a supported version (in a minor release of Renovate) roughly ~1-2 weeks before the upcoming LTS becomes an official LTS
  • We will remove an LTS as a supported version (in a major release of Renovate):
    • when the LTS is no longer supported upstream by the Node.JS project
    • when we need new features that are only available in a newer LTS
    • when the maintenance burden of supporting multiple Node.JS versions is too high

Add new NodeJS version

  • Add new version via package.json>engines>node
  • Update the node version in the local-development docs
  • Update the node version in the GitHub Actions workflow files

Remove old NodeJS version

  • Update package.json>engines>node
  • Mark PR as BREAKING by:
    • Adding the label breaking to the PR
    • Putting the text feat!: require node v... in the PR title
