Description

Hi,

we want to use this library but have to resort to an older electron-prebuild version because this module does not work with newer electron (and thus node 6) versions.

With newer versions we get an error like `Uncaught Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 48, got 47.` Everything works fine with electron-prebuild 1.0.2 (which uses node 5.10).

Sadly some other modules are not compatible with that electron-prebuild version and using an older node version isn't preferable either.

Would it be possible to make this module compatible with newer node / electron versions?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names electron-prebuild 1.2.x, Electron, and Node 6 but provides no source file or test location. Start by reproducing the module version mismatch with electron-prebuild 1.2.x and inspect how this native C++ module is built; done means it loads successfully with the newer Electron version.
