From bd05ad8b052012155fd5de0c21029d5869ad5eb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heikki Linnakangas Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 11:24:02 +0300 Subject: Give nicer error message when connecting to a v10 server requiring SCRAM. This is just to give the user a hint that they need to upgrade, if they try to connect to a v10 server that uses SCRAM authentication, with an older client. Commit to all stable branches, but not master.
