Breaking C++ API Changes in Node.js v0.12

[Honza Břečka]

Hi, how do you write native addons that can run on both 0.10 and 0.12 node versions? There are breaking API changes, so code written for v0.12 can't be compiled on v0.10. Thanks

You should use nan[1] for the best compatibility. However it should be noted that that takes care of most things, but if you are using some uncommon v8 APIs (that do not have an equivalent anymore) you may have to rewrite that portion of code.
