Upgrading mesecons 2016.09.13 and later breaks wires.

2016.09.13 moved wires to their own mod, but did not provide an upgrade path.

Do you have any suggestions? I'd like to run the latest release.

You could add dofile(minetest.get_modpath("mesecons").."/oldwires.lua") to legacy.lua. However this won't replace the old wires but make them work again.

I'll leave this link here: https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons/commit/912f17f33590df4ad76775a3511881ad4bbf4853#commitcomment-32257883

Um... the commit you reference just moves the registration, but keeps virtually everything else, up to node names. Just enabling mesecons_wires should be enough. And as wires weren’t changed much since them, I suppose that should be enough for latest release, too. (Remembering Murphy’s law, I’d make a world backup before upgrading nevertheless)
