Hi Roger and all at Tor,

Upgraded now.  And installed unattended-upgrading, so it shouldn't happen again.

I must say that getting an email signed Roger Dingledine was a very effective way of getting my attention and prompting me to do something I should have done long ago. Keep up the good work!

All the best,

Nick Sheppard

Hi Nick,

You are running a fast Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/16DB78459B845F4E728405EB694E32...

But that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading!

The Tor 0.3.5 long-term-stable branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR... and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.

You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecific...

Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.

And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

Thanks! --Roger
