update_protocol_version

Automating protocol version updates involves managing the addition of new versions and cleaning up old code. This process streamlines updating the network protocol changelog and negotiation logic between the client and server in a game engine.

Network protocol negotiation is handled by automating the logic that determines compatible versions between client and server. This streamlines the handshake process and ensures both ends communicate using the correct protocol version.

Yes, automating protocol versioning requires existing knowledge of the engine's protocol system. You need this foundational understanding to properly configure version additions, old code cleanup, and client-server negotiation logic.

Cleaning up old network protocol code when adding a new version is automated by removing deprecated logic and updating the changelog. This ensures the codebase remains maintainable while supporting new protocol features.

Yes, updating the protocol changelog automatically when new features are added is supported. The automation updates the changelog and manages the negotiation logic between the client and server simultaneously.
