ws@2.3.1 is last supported version for Node.js v5.x.x

[Ralle]

Description

Been using ws for all projects requiring WebSocket support. It is hands down the only thing worth anybody's time. Good job.
I work on a project where I am forced to use Node.js version 5.12.0 because that is the latest version still supported on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 R1. Because of this I am forced to use ws@2.3.1 as version 3.0.0 drops support for my version of Node.js (the breaking changes chapter didn't mention any of this though).

Reproducible in:

version: ws@3.0.0 and forward
Node.js version(s): 5.12.0
OS version(s): All

Steps to reproduce:

Run ws on Node.js version 5.12.0. You can download it right here https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.12.0/ .

Expected result:

I expected that it worked.

Actual result:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'connection' of undefined

ws still supports Node.js 4 so version 5.12.0 should work. You are probably affected by this breaking change #1099 but it's easy to fix. See the comments there.

I'm closing this as the above link should provide enough info on how to upgrade.

I had another look at my source code, and indeed, you are right. Sorry for creating this ticket.

Yay, now running ws@4.0.0, awesome!
