The selection fields offers those selections that are
configured in the config files.

I slightly modified the message to say:

Gefundene Datenbank:
Benötigte Datenbank:

Yes.

The database version you tried to connect to.

*All* versions are available from the public server.

0.3.5 is the currently released version.

We don't have development releases. We fix bugs in previous
branches if they are "worth it" (which is determined by
whether there are users). So there currently is "stable
0.2.8.x" = 0.2.8.11 and "stable 0.3.x" = 0.3.5.

0.3.5. Always the latest version we release.

Because there is no other status.

You should adjust the

        interactive = yes/no

option in the config files for automatic = non-interactive
bootstrapping.
