npm warn deprecated [email protected]: You or someone you depend on is using Q, the JavaScript Promise library that gave JavaScript developers strong feelings about promises. They can almost certainly migrate to the native JavaScript promise now. Thank you literally everyone for joining me in this bet against the odds. Be excellent to each other.

Not stale.

The more recent versions of node-persist use a different algorithm to generate file names, so this would not be an easy update.

There is also code in config-ui-x that relies on the old file name formats, i mean, it would be pretty disastrous to just update this dependency without a lot of prep work and migrations etc.

[n0rt0nthec4t]

Perhaps there is middle ground where we can use a version of node-persist that doesn’t use the depreciated Q module but still maintains the file name format in use for hap.

Even v1 changed the key format by using a base64 implementation.
