  • More...
  • Old ones (suggested for discussion by Daniel Bluhm): 
    • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/issues/1042 - https message type prefix
    • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/issues/1044 - updated media types
    • Yes!  Need to decide exactly the behaviour to change.
      • Document what is there today.
      • Decide what will be the new behaviour – simply drop the old style or add a flag that defaults but allows the old style?  Hopefully no new flag...
      • The existing flag should continue to be accepted, I think, although we could drop it as well.
• Open Discussion
