  • Description modified (diff)

It will probably make life easier in the future if we add a version number to the JSON output from operations like deep-stats, deep-manifest, and deep-check.
A related piece would be to tell developers that they should tolerate the presence or absence of each field.
On the other hand, the only customers of the t=JSON are:
1) The Tahoe CLI
2) Tools written to use the webapi functions
I'm ok with requiring that you use e.g. a 1.3.0 CLI with a 1.3.x backend instead of a 1.4.x backend, and developers have to play catchup all the time anyways.
So I'm not sure how much energy I want to put into this.
