Previous Releases
Major Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use. LTS release status is "long-term support", which typically guarantees that critical bugs will be fixed for a total of 30 months. Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

[1]: NODE_MODULE_VERSION refers to the ABI (application binary
interface) version number of Node.js, used to determine which versions of
Node.js compiled C++ add-on binaries can be loaded in to without needing to be
re-compiled. It used to be stored as hex value in earlier versions, but is now
represented as an integer.
