This is a breaking change, as it causes the
electron
module to require Node 4.x (which has been EOL'd anyway).Upgrading adds features such as a customizable cache location (via the
ELECTRON_CACHE
environment variable).Originally merged in #10922 but was reverted because it was going into a version of Electron that did not allow breaking changes.
The main difference between this and #10922 is that I explicitly added the
engines
directive (which in NPM generates a warning, but in Yarn throws an error).This should go in the release notes.
