5.3. Backward compatibility with v0 control protocol.
+ The 'version 0' control protocol was replaced in Tor 0.1.1.x. Support was
+ removed in Tor 0.2.0.x. Every non-obsolete version of Tor now supports the
+ version 1 control protocol.
+
For backward compatibility with the "version 0" control protocol,
Tor used to check whether the third octet of the first command is zero.
(If it was, Tor assumed that version 0 is in use.)
