[Bitcoin-development] [RFC] BIP 14 - Protocol Version and User Agent

Hi,

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0014

Thanks to Gavin Andresen for proof reading and suggesting clarifications. Thanks to Patrick Strateman for suggesting the hierarchical format and pointing out some flaws of browser user-agents to me.

The timeline is written in the past tense since BIPs are meant to be readable in the future for explaining why we took certain decisions with bitcoin. A nice cache for future historians when bitcoin is ubiquitous ;)


The next version 0.6 should be the protocol version which becomes peeled off from the current client. There are still some changes migrating into the protocol that need to be finished.

Looks pretty reasonable to me. If Gavin changes the mainline client to use
this format I'll change BitcoinJ as well. It'll need a bit of API work so
clients are sure to set it up properly.

Nice. I'll check with justmoon when I hopefully meet him at the conference. If all is OK, hopefully 0.6 will be the last protocol version bump for a while.

Same here of course, but I'll keep the String short and fixed. I still
don't think there should be any reason for others to know my OS in order to
communicate with me :-)
