If the crypto and message layers haven't changed since 0.3, a node could just ask the connecting node to identify itself via a noderef and then use whatever version of FNP the other node understands. This would eliminate the need for separate ports for 0.3 and 0.4, and would make future changes to FNP less damaging to the network. -- Mika Hirvonen <hirvox at welho.com> http://nightwatch.mine.nu/ _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
