Nobody ever said so, and I don't know why you'd think so.

Nobody ever said so, and I don't know why you'd think so. However, we
cannot travel back three years in time to fix your three year old
version that you decided to run. That's why I recommended to upgrade.

I have no idea why you'd want to "play with the settings" though, as
that would not solve any problem. See my previous reply.

See my previous reply: If you don't want to stick with ancient buggy
software versions, upgrade to recent less buggy software versions.

(I have no idea what a "standard version" is, though - if you think
that your distro ships a "standard version", you could talk to your
distro to update that "standard version" as the packages that you use
are provided by your distro and not by us.)

You chose to use a conservative LTS version of some distro, so you get
the package versions of that conservative LTS distro, basically. The
package update policy of your distro is up to your distro, not us.

That's what has happened within the last three years of development,
however you are running a software version from three years ago.
