Here are additional comments to the PR:

• From now, it is possible to build STF using node versions >= 8.x.x until the latest one (currently v17.9.0), nevertheless it is recommended do not use node versions < 12 because some "unsupported engine" warning are fired during the build, althrough all seem to work well at execution stage.
• Accordingly, Gulp and Webpack configuration files have been reviewed in deph, and if you want to run "gulp karma" you have to set the "OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null" previously
• If you are using nvm and you want to switch from a node version to another one, be sure to well clean your build environment previously, you can for example create an executable build script named stf-build.sh like this:

#!/bin/bash
export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null
nvm use $1
rm -rf ~/.cache/node-gyp/$(nvm current)/ ~/.node-gyp/$(nvm current)/ node_modules/ package-lock.json res/build res/bower_components res/test/PhantomJS*
#yarn install
npm install

and run it like this: # . stf-build.sh 17.9.0

@koral--
Do you merge or it's me ?

[elcolto]

Will you publish a new release to npm with these changes?

[koral--]

Yes, it will be published soon, after some PRs like that: #510 are merged.

[denis99999]

@koral-- I currently review #510 and it is not curently mergeable, I think you should release now a 3.6.2 version!

[koral--]

ok, thanks will do that ASAP
