I expected that opensim is doing some version check now. (if possible)
and sned a message
back that the location the user TP from is running old simulator version
thats not compatible with ... bla bla...
but at least a message when TP failed that tell users some info would be
a good idea. People need to stop useing the older versions.

You cannot TP from older code, to a varregion - you *will* crash.
People won't know, necessarily, that the destination region is a
varregion - only that their viewer crashed on TP. There will be many
complaints about TPing being broken by 0.8.
I understand that this cannot be fixed. But I strongly believe it
should be made to gracefully fail, at least. Only the 0.8 code would
have to change, I think, to accomplish this.
LiruCookies, Nebadon and I were discussing this in IRC. Liru suggested
(I'm paraphrasing) the addition of some innocuous message, function or
something, into the teleport process between regions running 0.8 and
later code, that would be missing from the teleport process as
initiated by older code. The lack of that item would cause the 0.8
region to gracefully refuse the TP and send a message back as to why.
This may not be the exact way to handle it, but I think it would work
and I really do believe that something like this should be added
before 0.8 is released. Unless you *want* people believing TPs are
broken, that is ...
