You could also clone the repo, modify the package.json to allow for your version, then run npm install. It should work...

We've been figuring out the best practice for this. We could just modify the package.json to allow for v0.5.x, but technically speaking the 0.5.x branch is unstable by definition. All odd minor version numbers of node follow this convention. You should be aware of this if you are developing applications.

@Marak This is my mistake. Module authors should use the syntax:

  "engines": { "node": ">= 0.4.0" }

for node dependencies. I discuss this in detail in my article on the Nodejitsu blog, but I must have missed this package.json file when I was updating everything.

@AvianFlu can you patch the package.json and bump the version to 0.2.10

@AvianFlu great. Now you need to create a git tag for this version:

  $ git tag -a 'v0.2.10' -m 'Version 0.2.10'
  $ git push --tags

When you're done with this, ping me and I will publish to npm.

@indexzero tag pushed.

@AvianFlu great. thanks. Closing this. v0.2.10 is now on npm and allows for installation node >= 0.4.0. @crocodile can you confirm this for us? Thanks!

Thanks, it works now!
