Description

Feature Request

Environment

What hardware/cloud provider/hypervisor is being used to run Ignition?

Desired Feature

https://coreos.github.io/ignition/getting-started/
says

One of the most important parts of this config is the version number. This must match the version number accepted by Ignition. If the config version isn’t accepted by Ignition, Ignition will fail to run and the machine will not boot.

Idk if anything else uses ignition, but CoreOS does. In fact, I stumbled upon ignition via CoreOS.

Well, if I use version 3.5.0 on CoreOS 39, I have no idea if it will work , or if I need v3.4.0 or lower.

So, kindly provide supported CoreOS ignition version compatibility.

Research direction

Read the linked Ignition getting-started page and the CoreOS 39 context first. Done means documenting which Ignition config versions are supported by each relevant CoreOS version, with the compatibility mapping clear enough to prevent boot failures.
