Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-14336:
------------------------------------------
I'm confused how this would work - not saying there wouldn't be a benefit, just
not sure how you get an old version like 4.x or 5.x to know it's really old
without doing a release of that old version? We could bake something in going
forward, my question is about the versions you mentioned as currently needing
this functionality.

> 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 when running a (probably) outdated version.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.
