Re: Changes to Protocol Docs - a Summary

["Mal Lansell" <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The version number of the running app is not stored in the vendors
xml (because there is only one xml per vendor, not per application)

They could store the version number of the latest release in the
vendor xml, so we can compare and see if an update is available, but
in that case we will need a format that we can parse using a
standard set of rules.
