BREAKING CHANGE:

  • Dropped support for Node.js versions below 18.19

Notes:

  • Node.js 18 reaches EOL in March 2025, but Instana’s support policy provides one additional year of extended support.
  • Despite the extended window, compatibility with Node.js 18.18 and below is being dropped now.
  • Node.js 18.19 introduces significant changes related to ESM hooks, these deprecation allow deprecation of older ESM implementation.
  • OTEL also requires Node.js 18.19 as its minimum supported version.

I prefer to keep the warning for the smooth migration.

I'd suggest to add another todo item:

  • We should add breaking changes information to the autotrace webhook release.
