Known issues:
- Boats and Horses won't work for 1.7.x and 1.8.x clients on 1.9+ servers. This issue can not be fixed without editing the server source code.
- Although this is not an issue with ViaRewind. If your 1.7.x client crashes, when trying to connect to the server: Check if your clientside view distance is not too high. If you have set your view distance to something higher than 1.7.x allows while playing 1.8 or newer, your 1.7.x client will crash (even if you join singleplayer). Please check this, before you ask for help.
