• Added black-listing notions

• Added -help external option

• Added description file notions in user.xml chapter, some changes: now even core ami protocol description is in a description file and these files only contains <param> tags, it's mush easier to encrypt a separate file if secure='yes' and it is more logical. Their extension must be '.ami'.

• Added verbosity parameter

• Changed main AMI option -chgpassword to -passwd for simplicity and added -version option

• Typos, Fixed HTML pbm with services array

• Changed from out.xml file to several id.xml files for AIS dialog.

• Rewrote process_reply and check_peer

• Added error codes for all AIS

• Removed useless max tag in AR: info is peer specific and is in AR AIS

• Added specific chapter for result_table notions

• Split specific functions chapter over document.

• Removed useless -1 ip status

• Added comment AI service

• Renamed ARP mode to Address Resolution mode to avoid confusions

• Typos, notations

4.2:

• XML packet modifications: tag <ami_packet> added with attribute 'version'. Tags are moved to lower case.

Todo

• see group notion

• see case when one peer uses different IP at the same time

• Add an interface to allow over-protocol to use secure streams via a file ( AIS ? )

• See AMI XML protocol extensible language
