Comment purely on the changelog. This second paragraph is somewhat misleading, and should perhaps be omitted. The RFC1002 length is a transport frame marker, and used only on stream-based transports such as TCP. For example, it's not present when the transport is SMB Direct. There is no protocol dependency on its use by Compounding.
