Question

In the last couple of hours we are suddenly seeing these errors from the Nuget Tool Installer:

Starting: Use NuGet 4.3.x
==============================================================================
Task         : NuGet tool installer
Description  : Acquires a specific version of NuGet from the internet or the tools cache and adds it to the PATH. Use this task to change the version of NuGet used in the NuGet tasks.
Version      : 1.238.1
Author       : Microsoft Corporation
Help         : https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/tool/nuget
==============================================================================
You are using a query match on the version string. Behavior changes or breaking changes might occur as NuGet updates to a new version.
##[error]No version was found which matches the input 4.3.x
ERR:Tool install failed: NuGet
##[error]The available versions are: 6.10.1; 6.9.1; 6.8.1; 6.7.1; 6.6.2; 6.5.1; 6.4.3; 6.3.4; 6.2.4; 6.0.6; 5.11.6
Finishing: Use NuGet 4.3.x

This was quite unexpected for us and we are suddenly scrambling to try and upgrade to a newer version to see if it will work in our build pipelines.  Was there an announcement for this that we were unaware of?
And where could we register to receive those annoucements in the future?
Thx.

It looks like the ado pipeline nuget installer depends on the following document: https://dist.nuget.org/tools.json. This had been updated to exclude a bunch of old versions, but seems like it has been reverted now.

I would also like a communication from microsoft to understand whether or not this was intentional or planned.
