Architecture

Currently, there is no release. Subversion trunk access is available to all.
svn co https://labs.omniti.com/reconnoiter/trunk reconnoiter
Development at this point is pretty rapid. As such, decisions are made that might cause what we call a "flag-day". A flag-day is when an upgrade through a specific version will prevent some functionality between that version and an older version. Commits that do this (like a change in protocol) will be marked as "flag-day" commits and note the system components that must be lock-step upgraded. Review flag-day commits.
