[Demexp-dev] Re: Breaking in network protocol for next releases

Hello,

(I finally subscribed to the demexp-dev mailing list ! ;-)).

Can you add a «version» field somewhere in the protocol which is 
exchanged by the server and the client at connection time, so that an 
incompatible client can display a nice message ?

Okay. Anyway, the Debian packages are both generated using the same 
source. So at any time, I suppose the client and server delivered in the 
same tarball archive will remain compatible.

Sincerly,

Thomas
