I just noticed that the new version, 1.1.5 will not work against a server running the old version, 1.0.4.
Out of curiousity, why was the new version not made compatible with existing installations ? It seems like compatibility would be a good thing ... but I'm no expert. So anyway, since: 1.1.5 client -> 1.0.4 server does not function, I was considering upgrading my server to 1.1.5, but I have a large number of clients that still have 1.0.4 on them, and I cannot upgrade them all in the near term. So before I upgrade my server, can somsone confirm or deny that: 1.0.4 client -> 1.1.5 server will continue working ? Or will that fall apart too ? FWIW, I see that a version prior to 1.0.4 refuses to do: (older_than_1.0.4) client -> 1.0.4 server So does that mean a version mismatch will always spell doom, no matter what ? Does the protocol really change that much between versions, or is this some artifact of writing programs in python ... that they need absolutely perfect version matching all the time or else kaboom ?
