I wonder should we mention which Node.js version should be used to make sure that app works in Electron, i.e. developers should not use APIs of Node.js higher than a version compatible with Electron 1.8.2-beta.5. I don't think we can use 9, 10 in this case.

I do not know much about 9. But for sure we cannot use 10.

But it is recommended to use a version that has the active LTS. Only the even version number has active LTS support: https://github.com/nodejs/Release.

I mean in Electron always bundled Node.js is used, as far as I know, Node.js 9 and 10 only supported by Electron 3. If someone uses APIs from them his app/extension won't work in Electron.
