Re: Verifying version compatibility

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

M/Monit 2.2.x supported Monit versions 5.0.x - 5.1.x.

When you upgrade to M/Monit 2.3, the upgrade of Monit agents which are managed 
by it to 5.2.x or newer is required at the same time.

We provide pre-compiled Monit binaries for common platforms to make the upgrade 
easier as the Monit packages in various Linux and BSD distributions are not 
updated instantly - it takes usually some time to 3rd party to upgrade the 
package (with the exception of development Debian version and FreeBSD port). 
The Monit binaries are available in the download page along with the source 
code: http://www.mmonit.com/monit/download/

The reason why Monit 5.2.1 doesn't work with previous M/Monit versions (such as 
2.2) are changes in the protocol which is used between Monit and M/Monit.

Regards,
Martin
