Nodejs 0.10 and 0.12 use different versions of the V8 engine. The V8 version used in 0.12 unfortunatly dropped support for the ARMv5 architecture. > We generally try to avoid supporting multiple versions of a given > component, unless there are some really good reasons to do so (like > python2 vs. python3, or qt4 vs. qt5). Nodejs 0.10 is still maintaned and new versions will follow. I would suggest to support both version until maintenance is dropped. Best regards J?rg Krause
