Hi Hiram Thanks for the update. We have already selected the loose encoding as the default encoding in the C++ client, it's good to see that we have selected the same. The tight encoding is deferred to a future release since it is a bit more complicated and we wanted something up and running. We're just finished a architectural re-design in the C++ client that makes a lot less code to maintain and a bit easy to add other protocols (see previous posts regarding C++ refactoring suggestion).
Will get back soon with a new patch udpate including updated groovy scripts.

This ensures backward compatibitlity since future clients will beforced to be backward compatible to even start talking. The clients then exchange a WireFormatInfo which contains information about the highest version of the protocol and requested protocol options that should be turned on. After that exchange both sides can upgrade the version and options to a set that is compatible between the 2 ends. > 2. What determines the order of the attributes on each package?

I guess we need to update the C++ guy to support loose encoding since that is now the minimum requirement. At least it's much simpler to implement. Should I work on that or have you guys allready have that covered? Regards, Hiram > Please help! > > Regards, > Mats Forslöf > -- Regards, Hiram
