Michael Jumper reassigned GUACAMOLE-661:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: Michael Jumper
> Deprecate "nest" instruction
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-661
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-661
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation, libguac
> Reporter: Michael Jumper
> Assignee: Michael Jumper
> Priority: Minor
>
> The ["nest"
> instruction|http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/0.9.14/gug/protocol-reference.html#nest-stream-instruction]
> was created in the early days of the Guacamole protocol as a means of
> splitting up large instructions. At the time, this was necessary because
> images and audio were transmitted within instructions that required the
> entire block of data to be available at once. The "nest" instruction thus
> provided a means of streaming data for instructions that otherwise did not
> support it.
> The Guacamole protocol switched over instructions with actual stream
> semantics around the 0.9.0 release (back in 2014). Since that time, the nest
> instruction has become unnecessary, and is actually no longer used in
> practice.
> It's time the instruction and related functions/structures were deprecated.
