Actually Node.js provide code name for Long Term Support (LTS) versions.
It started from Argon (version 4.2.0 to 4.9.1). And then it went like Boron (6.9.0 to 6.16.0), Carbon(8.9.0 to 8.15.0) and Dubnium (10.13.0 to 10.15.0). Basically they name their LTS versions under Chemical elements alphabetically:
- v4 Argon (Ar)
- v6 Boron (B)
- v8 Carbon (C)
- v10 Dubnium (Db)
- v12 Erbium (Er)
- v14 Fermium (Fm)
- v16 Gallium (Ga)
- v18 Hydrogen (H)
