Minimum required Node.js version

[jaydenseric]

In v2 the minimum required Node.js version is v14.18.0:

form-data-encoder/package.json

Lines 8 to 10 in 4975e93

	"engines": {
	"node": ">= 14.18"
	},

Is that necessary, or can it be lowered to v14.17.0? The reason I ask is because I’ve been rolling that out as the minimum for my packages and in particular would rather not increase this for the upcoming graphql-upload major version:

https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-upload/blob/6da4fb2cdf8e4610a251babb5632bf9b97ce9f71/package.json#L47-L49

I think a lot of packages in the ecosystem will settle on Node.js v14.17.0 as the minimum to support, including it looks like node-fetch v4: node-fetch/node-fetch#1452 .

I think I can lower it. The tests seem to pass on 14.17.
The problem was just that I can't run pnpm under Node 14.17, but it seem to be totally unnecessary, because I don't use it outside of my machine except for CI, but it runs on 14.x, 16.x and 18.x. Which means GitHub will use latest version of each.

Done. https://github.com/octet-stream/form-data-encoder/releases/tag/v2.0.1

Thanks! I'll update now :)

Ah, I just remembered: I was trying to add some test for Node.js Blob in my formdata-node package, but it was added in 14.18. So I also considered that and set minimal version to 14.18 for this package too. But these test aren't essential, so I will just remove them and adjust minimal version in formdata-node too.
