<section1 topic='Introduction'>
|
|
<p>The Jabber protocols have long included a method for discovering version information about the software running at another entity's JID. This method makes use of the 'jabber:iq:version' namespace and has been documented variously in Internet-Drafts and elsewhere. Because this protocol is not required by &rfc2779;, the 'jabber:iq:version' namespace was removed from &xmppim;. This specification fills the void for canonical documentation.</p>

|
<section1 topic='Definition'>
|
|
<p>The 'jabber:iq:version' namespace provides a standard way for Jabber entities to exchange information about the software version used by the entities. The information is communicated in a request/response pair using an <iq/> element that contains a <query/> scoped by the 'jabber:iq:version' namespace. The following children of the <query/> are allowed in an IQ result:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><name/> -- The natural-language name of the software. This element is REQUIRED in a result.</li>
|
|
<li><version/> -- The specific version of the software. This element is REQUIRED in a result.</li>
|
|
<li><os/> -- The operating system of the queried entity. This element is OPTIONAL in a result.</li>
|
|
</ul>
