Breaking change in v2.1

[ljharb]

v2.0 of this package depends on strip-ansi v3, which supports node v0.10, which works fine with string-width's support of >= 4.

however, v2.1 of this package depends on strip-ansi v4, which requires >= 8, which means it's a breaking change in a minor version of this package. This breaks https://npmjs.com/salita, and every other package that depends on yargs 10.

Please release a v2 version of string-width that restores node 4 compatibility. The easiest is probably to revert strip-ansi to v3. (The most reliable would be a change in policy in ensuring that every dep supports as far back as is possible, but i realize that's not likely to happen)

v2.0.0 of this package required Node.js 4: https://github.com/sindresorhus/string-width/blob/v2.0.0/package.json#L13

No, strip-ansi v4 also required Node.js 4: https://github.com/chalk/strip-ansi/blob/v4.0.0/package.json#L13

hmm - i did a bunch of npm show commands to come up with these ranges; i'll verify.

Clearly I messed up somewhere - and it may have been complicated by cli-table's similar bug. Everything seems to work now in v4.0 and v4.x, with tbranyen/salita@4c6108f reverted.

Sorry for the noise!
