Litecoin learning center
Old versions of Litecoin Core included an alert system, which allowed developers to broadcast messages to all clients. With the release of Litecoin Core 0.13, the alerts system was completely removed. Any remaining old clients will see an "Alert Key Compromised" message.
For historical record, all known alerts are noted.
