This does bring up an interesting question, though.
Why does Slimserver downgrade the client software?
I understand why it upgrades, but should there in general be situations
where it is *required* to downgrade? I.e. Is Slimproto not backwards
compatible? Or some other part of the client?
Mostly SlimProto. It has been said many times over that the firmware
is often feature-tied with slimserver. Thus the firmware must match
up with the server in order to have the right responses to slimproto
commands. Aside from that, it is also to reduce support/test problems
involving the MANY different server versions in combination with
differing firmwares. It is possible to bypass the firmware
upgrade/downgrade (search for the details) and that may work just fine
in many case. It is however, entirely unsupported.
