| * If a cluster is upgraded during an `onError` call, the cluster could return a `cluster_version_changed` error. `(PR #1734) <https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/pull/1734>`_. |

This appears to break the documentation build

Okay, so the exact problem here is:
- The user sets up two client libraries and then uses one of them to connect to the cluster.
- They do a thing that results in an error (like, say, get a transaction conflict).
- While waiting on the error, the cluster is upgraded.
- The
onErrorcall used to propagate that error up, but now it callsonErrorin the new thing and updates the transaction to use the new client library.
I think that means that for existing users of the retry loops, they would have just seen a retriable error propagate up rather than, say, seeing the transaction retry loop try again with an incompatible protocol version (right?). I ask because I think if it were the latter, then there would be a somewhat compelling case that this should go onto 6.1 as a patch, but I think it's fine on master if only the former.

Yeah, that's a good summary of the problem.
The old behavior should have resulted in it bubbling up a retryable error, but since it came from onError it's likely they wouldn't have actually attempted to retry it.
