Yup - well, new extensions were added.

It should be backward compatible though - older clients should simply skip over the new entries.

This was necessary as sinful strings are being used as âlist of ways to contact this serviceâ.  The rules and exceptions were piling up as features were added (CCB, shared port, etc) and became unmanageable once IPv6 was thrown into the mix too.

It is hoped that the new methods (and AddressV0) will provide a more flexible way to express network services and more future-proof.
