Upgrade needle dependency

[blimmer]

the version of needle this uses is quite old and causes a problem with pre-node 4.

/Users/blimmer/code/oss/ember-cli-deploy-hipchat/node_modules/hipchatter/node_modules/needle/node_modules/qs/lib/index.js:5
const Stringify = require('./stringify');
^^^^^
Use of const in strict mode.

I worked around this by pegging qs to a lower version (^5.2.0), but this might cause other folks problems too.

Having same issue after running npm update a couple hours ago.

I'm having the same issue, is anyone working on this? How can I help?

I haven't had time to work on this yet. The quick fix for your project is to peg qs to a 5.2.x version, but if you can't do that, we'd need to see if we can make the changes to upgrade to a newer version of needle on this project.
