Agreed. Thanks to both of you for the comment!


I've added the RMT to CC. What do you think about including the 0001 patch in v18?
Would you be okay with that?

-----------------------
The 0001 patch changes \conninfo to report the full protocol version (e.g., 3.2)
instead of just the major version (e.g., 3). This is technically a behavior change,
but since protocol version 3.2 was introduced in v18, and both 3.0 and 3.2 are
now valid, always showing just "3" isn't very helpful. To see which protocol
version is actually in use, showing the full version is more informative.

Therefore I see this as fixing an oversight in commit bba2fbc6238, so I'd like to
commit the 0001 patch as well in v18. Thought?
