release broken on 0.12 without major version bump

[huerlisi]

First off: thanks for this wonderful package, we're using it with great success!

We're still using Node version 0.12 in some environments. These projects are now failing due to incompatibility of newer eslint versions.

eslint properly bumped the package version in a major release when requiring a newer node version. sass-lint did bump the dependency on eslint in 31d26aa. This did change the dependency version from ^2.7.0 to ^3.9.1 and does therefore allow breaking changes in the eslint dependency.

As said, this dependency upgrade broke sass-lint on node 0.12. So it is a breaking change for sass-lint. Unfortunately this change was included in a patch release.

I understand that you made the decission to drop support for 0.10 and 0.12 in #896. But I think actually breaking this support is something that according to semver is a breaking change and therefore should be only done in a major release.

We did agonise over this decision, came to the conclusion that we're not breaking any dependencies on our package this way but obviously with our lack of testing on 0.10 and 0.12 which are essentially dead platforms now I think there will start to be broken functionality upstream. But we should pull the ESLint version back for now I think and discuss it further. I'll look to get a patch release out today.

eslint should be a dev dependency though, and this wouldn't have been an issue in the first place?

[DanPurdy]

We depend on it for the formatters currently as we dont have our own. They've always been a bit of an afterthought. Which I think is why we decided to do this in the first place, forgetting the formatters.

Either way @huerlisi 1.10.2 is out now with Eslint pegged back. I'll release an update to all the tools too. In fact I'll leave it open to make sure it is fixed.

Wow, that's a great relieve for us! Marvelous work!

(and it gave us a much needed push to migrate away from those old platforms)
