commit f3c0a0b9fe2791571dd483ac28a73fc4776169a8 Author: Nick Mathewson nickm@torproject.org Date: Thu Aug 29 11:43:43 2019 -0400
Authorities reject relays running unsupported Tor release series.
Our minimum version is now 0.2.9.5-alpha. Series 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.3.2, 0.3.3, and 0.3.4 are now rejected.
Also, extract this version-checking code into a new function, so we can test it.
Closes ticket 31549.
Also reject 0.3.5.0 through 0.3.5.6-rc as unstable. --- changes/ticket31549 | 4 +++ src/feature/dirauth/process_descs.c | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)
