⚠️ PSA - Hello, Tor relay operator.
If you're running an old Tor relay or bridge on the 0.4.8.x series, please upgrade to 0.4.9.x as soon as possible.
Starting in September, the 0.4.8.x series will be dropped from the Tor network. Relays and bridges still on it will stop working.
Announcement: https://blog.torproject.org/sunsetting-tor-048/
Check whether your relay is affected:

@ggus it's very strange to me to see both that tor remains on a 0 major version while a patch release upgrade from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 is backwards incompatible. furthermore:
But when we remove these fields, clients and relays running earlier versions of Tor will no longer work, since they expect the TAP onion keys to be present.
this seems like it could be fixable by patching 0.4.8.x to allow for the fields to be removed. is there a security justification for not doing this?
