Node 8 Support

[joerideg]

Expected behaviour

I can install and run karma using Node 8

Actual behaviour

Karma will fail to install because engine support has not included Node 8 yet.

Hi,
First of all thanks for your hard work on this great open source project.

Could you guys please add support for Node 8, and/or give us a timeline for when this change will be released to the public.

Is there an update on this one? This is blocking the usage of karma on the Node 8 based projects of ours.

The pull request has been sitting idle since June 29.

It seems the pull request fixing this has been merged. Awesome work guys!

Great (thumbsup)

Any idea when the 1.7.1 will be released containing the fix?

@shaiksphere 1.7.1 has just been released with this fix in #2818 !

Thank you @cletusw. This issue will pop up again in a few months when Node 9.x will be released. Will there be a better solution to make sure it doesn't break again every 6 months or so?
