The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost. The first breaking change window begins 2024-04-22 09:00UTC and ends 2024-04-24 22:00UTC.
This addresses the bug fixed in !3577 (merged) where hosts were rejecting contracts due to size limits. Although the bug has since been fixed, hosts need to upgrade in order for renter to be able to use them. This MR allows renters to use un-upgraded hosts immediately by falling back to the old protocol for the form/renew RPCs.
