Required solidity version

[izqui]

By requiring a fixed solidity version in all aragon-core files, we are forcing all app developers to use the same solidity version, which right now is set to 0.4.15.

At least we should allow 0.4 versions greater than 15 by changing it to ^0.4.15.

Hmm, I'm not a huge fan of this idea. Pinning solidity versions is usually a security recommendation, because you never know what might be wrong with a new solc.

We could manually update the version as new solc versions are released, after at least running the tests.

Are we? AFAIK app developers are free to use whatever version they want. If there's a problem with interfaces that we provide, then we should separate those out into different files and only apply loose versions on them.

That’s a good point actually. Strict versions on core logic and loose versions on interfaces.
