Very very much looking forward to this release. It's almost the 1st birthday for 8.6 series (2022/9/28) and there's so much great new stuff here!

One thing I hope can get added for this release, it seems like there may have to be some breaking changes for Node 18 support. It'd be lovely to decide what the final form there is going to be & figure out how to land #1906.

[acommodari]

Would love to see this get passed soon so we can start migrating to node 18 im also willing to help with updating dependencies if you would like 😄 very excited for this release to go through

[acommodari]

With node 18 now officially entering LTS do we have an eta for when a potential new version of restify will be released? Really looking forward to upgrading 😄 My offer still stands if you need extra help for updating dependencies or other help in some other way to get this over the finish line!

[mmarchini]

We'll be releasing Restify 9 with support for Node.js 14 and 16. Node.js 18 support will be added on Restify 10 in a couple weeks (aiming for Nov 28, Monday after Thanksgiving).
