To followup on the earlier announcement from November 2016, Parsoid no
longer supports node v0.1x.
The master branch of Parsoid now requires node v4 or higher. It has been
tested with node v4 and node v6.
Last week, we release a new debian and npm version of Parsoid, v0.7.1
[1]. This version requires node v4 or higher.
If you are running an older version of Parsoid or node, we encourage you
to upgrade since node v0.1x versions have reached end of life [2]
Subbu.

The Parsing team at the Wikimedia Foundation that
develops the Parsoid
service is deprecating support for node 0.1x. Parsoid is the service
that powers VisualEditor, Content Translation, and Flow. If you don't
run a MediaWiki install that uses VisualEditor, then this announcement
does not affect you.
Node 0.10 has reached end of life on October 31st, 2016 [1] and node
0.12 is scheduled to reach end of life December 31st, 2016 [1].
Yesterday, we released a 0.6.1 debian package [2] and a 0.6.1 npm
version of Parsoid [3]. This will be the last release that will have
node 0.1x support. We'll continue to provide any necessary critical
bug fixes and security fixes for the 0.6.1 release till March 31st
2017 and will be completely dropping support for all node versions
before node v4.x starting April 2017.
If you are running a Parsoid service on your wiki and are still using
node 0.1x, please upgrade your node version by April 2017. The
Wikimedia cluster runs node v4.6 right now and will soon be upgraded
to node v6.x [4]. Parsoid has been tested with node 0.1x, node v4.x
and node v6.x and works with all these versions. However, we are
dropping support for node 0.1x right away from the master branch of
Parsoid. Going forward, the Parsoid codebase will adopt ES6 features
available in node v4.x and higher which aren't supported in node 0.1x
and will constitute a breaking change.
