I don't think adding version checking code to 2.2 is a good idea. Let's not do a lot of changes to it, so that it can be released.
Instead, I suggest that for trunk we use port 2100 for game, port 9990 (or something else) for master; for 2.2 we use port 2100 for master, and port 9990 (or something else) for game. That means, we switch them when changing 2.2->trunk. This way people will not have to open new ports in their firewall for the 2.2->trunk upgrade. In the trunk version, we add version checking and probably a ton of other network changes. Another reason why adding a version check to 2.2 may not be sufficient, is that we may end up making totally network incompatible changes that it cannot pick up anyway when we first start picking apart the netplay code. I do not want to freeze any part of the network code before this work is even seriously started. - Per _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
