One tiny change for this release - but I wanted to get it out there.

As you know we are currently working towards Node-RED v2 - which will mainly drop support for Node 8 and 10. To go with that we will also release Dashboard 3.0 which will have no significant changes apart from bumping up [socket.io](http://socket.io) (and maybe some other libs) to drop node 8 (and 10) support - which will make @kevinGodell happy 🙂

Cool, was the transition to the new [socket.io](http://socket.io) easy? Any issues you found? I need to update uibuilder as well.

Thats great. Seems like I still have time to clean up and get ready to publish my node that use dashboard as a dependency.

Will 2.29 be the last planned minor version before rolling the major to 3.0?
