Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of version 3.5 of ParrotTalk, for Squeak and Pharo, found here:

http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/ParrotTalk-zzz.2.mcz

It follows this specification:
https://github.com/ZiroZimbarra/callistohouse/blob/master/docs/ParrotTalkFrameDesign-3.5.pdf

One item of note, in version 3.5, the system connecting to a server, sending the IWant msg, must know the vatId of the system being connected to. I am considering changing this to version 3.6 by removing one round-trip in messaging. Therefore, these messages would be combined: IWant/GiveInfo, IAm/ReplyInfo. I will keep ProtocolOffered and ProtocolAccepted to allow eLindaSession to support both versions: 3.5 and 3.6.

Thoughts please?
