reduced risk of legacy vulnerabilities: a middle-step approach

[lammel-hub]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With v.13 a compatibility mode with older versions was introduced for the need of connecting a newer assistant with an older assisted. The use case for this is that the assisted often depends on the assistant to manage/update their programs.

Describe the solution you'd like Context: Connection Function: Compatibilty mode

When the function is activated by pressing toggle "Compatibility mode" (in assistant), a pop up window with a warning icon and text to inform the user is presented. It closed by pressing an [OK] button. No other changes to the function intended.

The text to inform the user may have a different "tone of voice":

• Alternative 1 - Imperative/Instructive "Compatibility Mode. After connecting immediately update Assisted to the latest version to minimize risks."
• Alternative 2 - Request/Encourage "Compatibility Mode. Please consider updating Assisted to the latest version to minimize risks."
• Alternative 3 - Informative/Technical "Compatibility Mode. This may increase risks by using older communication protocol. If Assisted is updated to the latest version, those risks are removed and compatibility mode is no longer needed in future sessions.."

Rationale:

• To help lower risks of using legacy versions for assisted
• Help move users to get self-updating binaries from a store
• To shorten time until depreciation of compatibility mode is possible in future versions

Describe alternatives you've considered as described in issue #90

Additional context Apologies for pushing this issue, but I believe it is good to get rid of potential risks and this may be a middle-step in anticipation for future depreciation.

Implemented the "encouraging" tone within a warning dialog:

May I ask you to kindly check the swedish message please? (This should be the very last addition to the resource bundle for the new release.)

compatibility.mode.active = Kompatibelt läge aktivt
compatibility.mode.info = Vänligen överväga att uppdatera Hjälptagare till den senaste versionen för att minimera riskerna.
