I did not see your response right away because I am not subscribed; please CC me in responses. I thought that because this RFC was still in the draft state that we didn't need to worry about versioning. I am averse to adding any meta data to this protocol, as it is a very simple ASCII-encoding protocol, and making it more complex would reduce its usefulness. My change only suggests handling frames that are not a multiple of 4 bytes, is backward-compatible, and does not require versioning. If you would not feel comfortable changing the character set without version meta data, than I would rather keep the current character set. As I said, XML and URL both have defined quoting rules, so if anyone is using Z85 in one of those contexts they can quote and unquote as needed. I'll make a pull request, probably next week. It will only deal with my proposed change, not any change to the character set. ...Marvin _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
