Hello!
I'm not too picky on the exact format, so feel free to reformat in a way you prefer, but I found it confusing how the "semver" version mention in the docs wasn't accurate,
>= 18.17.0
implies that any versions after18.17.0
works, but that is not the case. For instance, someone on20.2.x
will fail to install Sharp, as will someone on19.x.x
.This caused a few downstream issues in repos I maintain that have Sharp as an
optionalDependencies
because users didn't get an error on install (since it's an optionalDep), but as far as they could tell from the Sharp docs, they had a supported version of Node.
