Trying to run latest franka_ros (version 0.9.0) on an older robot system version (4.2.0), yields the following error message from libfranka:
[ERROR] ros.franka_hw: FrankaHW: Failed to initialize libfranka robot. libfranka: Incompatible library version (server version: 4, library version: 5). Please check https://frankaemika.github.io for Panda system updates or use a different version of libfranka.
[ERROR] ros.franka_control: franka_control_node: Failed to initialize FrankaHW class. Shutting down!
Updating to robot version 4.2.1 solved that issue. However, the error message, mentioning server version 4 vs. library version 5 was rather confusing. I would have expected mentioning 4.2.1...

Yeah it is a bit confusing. There is a difference between "server" version and "system" version. The server version is actually a API compatibility indicator. We have a table here to find out the correct version for your robot. In the future, the error message that you got will also contain this link.

Thanks. Having this link in the error message will be helpful.
