ReleasePort's take

Light signal
editorial:auto 13d

The upcoming v3.38.0 release will reject MongoDB connections from versions older than 4.2 during the connection test/save operation.

Why it matters: Patch to v3.38.0 immediately if you operate any MongoDB deployment on versions < 4.2; otherwise plan migration before upgrade.
