> The NetIDE project requests new API methods to aid in its interoperability

> RPC methods:

> Notification:

> Feedback from the OFP call on 2/May:
> - other projects are also requesting a GetOFversion() method or similar for

Hi Alec Leckey

I can take this up. Can you provide more details on this ?

Thanks & Regards,

I am still a bit confused. What are purpose of this ? I am not convinced to creating this type of API to get out version and features request. I am afraid to come into more problems that we can see right now. Handshake should be encapsulated by plugin not to be able to control from outside.
