[Aerogear-users] UnifiedPush Node sender move to Promises

[Matthias Wessendorf]

I think it would be good for the community to move forward and use latest
technology. Node 0.12 is already very old, given the current version is 6.

How about getting promisses in, and afterwards release this as a 1.0.0
release ?
