The addition of the version.relay field is a wire protocol compatibility break. Previous protocol versions that validate the version message (specifically its length) have no way to know that there are new versions of the message of greater length. This causes failure of the handshake. See additional comments in BIP60. --Eric Voskuil, 2017-05-22
