Warn/stop client connecting to incompatible deluged

Description (last modified by johnnyg) (diff)

If compatibility is not provided, it should be mentioned in the docs.

Additionally, it would be nice if client refuses to connect to an incompatible server and shows a helpful message.

It's not always possible to make a new series (e.g. 1.3.x) compatible with an older series (e.g. 1.2.x). The server tends to be more backwards compatible than the client (i.e. 1.3.x server will work with 1.2.x client but not vice versa).

That said, I agree there should be a warning when trying to connect to an older server.

  • version 1.3.0 deleted
  • summary changed from Warn if client is not compatible with server to Warn/stop client connecting to incompatible deluged

With the multi-user changes to git master I think this should be made a higher priority.

This has been achieved in git master. There ain't a nice GUI warning message yet though. I'm changing owner to implement the GUI warning in the GTK UI. Then I'll assign it back to johnnyg.

A nice warning is now shown on the GTK UI (git master).

johnnyg anything else needs fixing, implementing?
