This morning, we [removed support][github-services-pr] for the `ssl_version` webhook configuration
option and made `TLS 1.X` the default cryptographic protocol to address the [POODLE exploit][poodle].
You should no longer set or rely on the `ssl_version` configuration option.

If you have any questions or feedback, please [drop us a line][contact].
