> To accomplish this, we now run Mocha's unit tests (and a handful of integration tests) via [Karma](https://npmjs.com/package/karma) and a modified [karma-mocha](https://npmjs.com/package/karma-mocha). Along the way, we had to solve issue [880] (apologies to mderijcke and sukima who had PRs addressing this), as well as replace most usages of [should](https://npmjs.com/package/should) with [expect.js](https://npmjs.com/package/expect.js) for IE8.
>
> Going forward, when sending PRs, your code will *only* run against PhantomJS v1.x (and not hit SauceLabs) [because security](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/pull-requests/Security-Restrictions-when-testing-Pull-Requests).
>
> Node.js 6.x
> Node.js 6.x "just worked" before, but now it's in the CI matrix, so it's "officially" supported. Mocha *still retains support* for Node.js 0.8.x.
>
> "Minor" Release
> You'll see mostly bug fixes below, but also a couple features--as such, it's a "minor" release.
