I don't think we will support old versions like v2.9.X. There was a security release and we only released v2.17.1, v2.13.7, v2.14.4, v2.15.2 and v2.16.4: https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqy3g2flb6.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ So it looks like v2.13.X is the oldest version we support. Do you really need v2.9.5? Best, Christian.
