It actually stop them with a wrong message. I tried with a 7.4 release. It told me that "The server version 8.2 is older than is supported by this release of pgAdmin.". It should have been 7.4, not 8.2. And the, it drops the connection: connected = false; status = PGCONN_BAD; What happens with new releases is what we should do with old unmaintained one, but with a message like the one I sent previously. > In any case, unless you're willing to commit to testing every > change/new feature on 7.3, 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1, we shouldn't pretend > they're supported. > I'm not willing to do that. If it's not much work, I can still work on that, but I for sure don't commit to do that. What I would prefer us to do is allow the connection to an old unmaintained server with a big warning telling that 1. they should upgrade PostgreSQL, and 2. they could encounter bugs in pgAdmin as we don't commit to fix them with unmaintained PostgreSQL releases. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list (pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
