commit 56f1cab9c12349538c5526de92d6e64fecb81184
Author: Nick Mathewson <ni...@torproject.org>
Date: Mon Feb 8 11:52:53 2021 -0500
Don't log supported-protover warnings if consensus is older than Tor.
Previously we would warn in this case... but there's really no
justification for doing so, and it can only cause confusion.
Fixes bug #40281; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.

+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Avoid a spurious log message about missing subprotocol versions, when
+ the consensus that we're reading from is older than the current
+ release. . Previously we had made this message nonfatal in this case,
+ but in practice, it is never relevant when the consensus is older than
+ the current release. Fixes bug 40281; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
