There is no way to know currently if a client is connected to a buggy server or not. And based on how things look at, the protocol number has no real purpose as currently designed: a protocol should not change for a given major version or it would break existing applications, so if what is returned to the client is 0.19.X to define a certain client version, one can immediately guess that the protocol is 0.19. That's the reason why I'd suggest such a change for 0.20.X only. Thinking more about that, it may make even more sense to remove the protocol number, but I don't know enough the history of the project, perhaps you have already bumped up the protocol for a given major version? -- Michael _______________________________________________ mpd-devel mailing list mpd-devel@musicpd.org http://mailman.blarg.de/listinfo/mpd-devel
