The one who doesn't have to read informations that are simply wrong.

The original entry in the wiki read:

TYPO3 3.8.1 appears to ship with tt_news version 1.0.4. Take care to
immediately upgrade tt_news (current version is 2.2.24) to ensure correct
display of news items in your sites
[/quote]

This is not true, since there are
a) lots of installations that still run with this "outdated" version of
tt_news
b) lots of installations that run tt_news in different versions as "local"

In both cases there is no need to worry about updating _and_ of course no
need for scare stories.
Especially in the first case this would cause more damage than the poster
might have expected, since current tt_news is not completely backwards
compatible (and this is one of the reasons, why it is not part of the core)
