- How to / should we version the authenticated encryption handshake itself (ie.

||||
upfront protocol negotiation for the P2PVersion)

- How to / should we version ABCI itself? Should it just be absorbed by the

BlockVersion?

## Changelog
|

|
||||
- 18-09-2018: Updates after working a bit on implementation
|
||||
- ABCI Handshake needs to happen independently of starting the app
|
||||
conns so we can see the result
|
||||
- Add question about ABCI protocol version
|
||||
- 16-08-2018: Updates after discussion with SDK team
|
||||
- Remove signalling for next version from Header/ABCI
|
||||
- 03-08-2018: Updates from discussion with Jae:
|
||||
- ProtocolVersion contains Block/AppVersion, not Current/Next
|
||||
- signal upgrades to Tendermint using EndBlock fields

## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Here we focus on software-agnostic protocol versions.
|
||||
|
||||
The Software Version is covered by SemVer and described elsewhere.
|
||||
It is not relevant to the protocol description, suffice to say that if any protocol version
|
||||
changes, the software version changes, but not necessarily vice versa.

||||

||||
Software version shoudl be included in NodeInfo for convenience/diagnostics.

meaningful way, for instance to differentiate branches of a contentious

||||
hard-fork. We leave that for a later ADR.
