At Node-RED Con I spoke about the future roadmap of Node-RED, charting a course to the 5.0 release. Previous major version releases have been done with the intention of aligning with Node.JS releases; as old versions reach their end-of-life, we do a major version bump of Node-RED to drop support of those versions. We haven’t been entirely successful in keeping to that schedule, and our overall release cadence has slowed down.
