Nov 10, 2026, 9:52 PM@lena good point. i do have a version field in the connect message - is there a good rationale to put it in every packet?

@lena ah yeah that's a good point, you can have version-specific packets.
i sort of do that in the payload, i have multiple register-set payload versions
it's good advice though
