From v7.5.0 onwards, the minimum supported version of Express is v4.11, due to the usage of response.append in the implementation of the IETF draft specification for the RateLimit headers. If you do not set the standardHeaders option to draft-7 or draft-8, you can still safely use any version of Express, v4.0.0 onwards.

You can view the changes made in each version in the changelog.
