Ishan Chattopadhyaya commented on SOLR-14336: --------------------------------------------- {quote}bq.But people installing v8.6.0 will be warned one year later in 2021 if they are still on 8.6.0. {quote} But what if all committers and PMC members suddenly die and there is no 8.7 version in one year's time? > Warn users running old version of Solr > -------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-14336 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14336 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Reporter: Jan Høydahl > Priority: Major > > There are obviously many very old Solr installs out there. People are still > reporting issues for Solr 4.x and 5.x. This is a proposal that Solr will > print a warning in the logs and display a warning in the Admin UI Dashboard > when running a (probably) outdated version. > I do not aim to "call home" to Apache to check versions, but instead parse > release date from 'solr-impl-version' string and warn if more than 1 year > old. That should be very conservative as there will almost certainly be a > handful new releases, with potential security fixes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@lucene.apache.org
