Hi, I wanted to show information about the agent in the Guest Details dialog of virt-viewer ( http://people.freedesktop.org/~pgrunt/guest_details.png ). The information about other components (qxl driver, spice server) may also be displayed there as well. I think this can be useful for a user when posting a bug, because it won't be necessary to use other tools to get these version informations. ----- Original Message ----- > > Hi > > ----- Original Message ----- > > Message will be used by client for requesting an information about > > a version of the agent running on the guest side. > > Assuming the information is cheap to compute and send, and will be > (almost) always queried, why not send it at beginning of session, > when the client has a special cap set? > > Regarding the protocol change, I would rather not introduce the > sub-"type" field in a message, and instead rely on existing message > type.
