 # 0.0.8-alpha to 0.0.9-alpha
-* Development is now against Node.js 8.x LTS. Follow your standard upgrade path to update to Node 8.x before using 0.0.9-alpha.
+* Development is now against Node.js 10.x LTS. Follow your standard upgrade path to update to Node 10.x before using 0.0.9-alpha!
 * The property `justify` found on various views previously had `left` and `right` values swapped (oops!); you will need to adjust any custom `theme.hjson` that use one or the other and swap them as well.
 * Possible breaking changes in FSE: The MCI code `%TL13` for error indicator is now `%TL4`. This is part of a cleanup and standardization on "custom ranges". You may need to update your `theme.hjson` and related artwork.
 * Removed view width auto-size: Some views still can auto-size their height, but in general you should be explicit in your themes

 * Fixed `justify` properties: `left` and `right` values were formerly swapped (oops!)
 * Menu items can now be arrays of *objects* not just arrays of strings.
   * The properties `itemFormat` and `focusItemFormat` allow you to supply the string format for items. For example if a menu object is `{ "userName" : "Bob", "age" : 35 }`, a `itemFormat` might be `|04{userName} |08- |14{age}`.
