 - [pull #318] Add `reemitErrorEvents` optional boolean for streams added to a
   Bunyan logger to control whether an "error" event on the stream will be
   re-emitted on the `Logger` instance.

+Node-bunyan supports running in a few runtime environments:

+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
+- [Browserify](http://browserify.org/): See the
+  [Browserify section](#browserify) below.
+- [NW.js](http://nwjs.io/)
+
+Support for other runtime environments is welcome. If you have suggestions,
+fixes, or mentions that node-bunyan already works in some other JavaScript
+runtime, please open an [issue](https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan/issues/new)
+or a pull request.
+
+The primary target is Node.js. It is the only environment in which I
+regularly test. If you have suggestions for how to automate testing for other
+environments, I'd appreciate feedback on [this automated testing
+issue](https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan/issues/342).

 As the [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) site says it "lets you
 `require('modules')` in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies."
