and go ahead and bump version to 1.0.4. For a while in 1.0.3 -dev I was trying to optimize out repeated network controller requests by using a ratcheting mechanism. If the client received a network config that was indeed different from the one it had, it would respond by instantlly requesting it again. Not sure what I was thinking. It's fundamentally unsafe to respond to a message with another message of the same type -- it risks a race condition. In this case that's exactly what could happen. It just isn't worth the added complexity to avoid a tiny, tiny amount of network overhead, so I've taken this whole path out. A few extra bytes every two minutes isn't worth fretting about, but as I recall the reason for this optimization was to save CPU on the controller. This can be achieved by just caching responses in memory *there* and serving those same responses back out if they haven't changed. I think I developed that 'ratcheting' stuff before I went full time on this. It's hard to develop stuff like this without hours of sustained focus.
