Version -08 of the WG draft took into account IANA, SECDIR, Gen-ART, | Editor's note: Please remove this section before publication. | |||
Version -11 made the following changes: | ||||
o Removed space after the "%s" in the ABNF RFC 7405 syntax. | ||||
Version -10 made the following changes: | ||||
o Restricted the case of "mac", "ow", etc. any subtype to lower | ||||
case. This required the adoption of RFC 7405 syntax in the ABNF. | ||||
o Added a reserved "example" subtype to be used in examples. | ||||
o Clarified global applicability, particularly in cases with local | ||||
or manual assignment mechanisms. | ||||
o Corrected byte/bit counts in for 1-Wire identifiers in | ||||
Section 4.2. | ||||
o Clarified that optional underscore-separated components come at | ||||
the end of the DEV URN, not just "after the hexstring". | ||||
o Changed the requirement to not use percent-encoding to a | ||||
preference instead of a hard rule, based on the needs of SenML but | ||||
not wishing to break rules of RFC 8141. | ||||
o Added a description of tradeoffs involving using URNs instead of | ||||
some more compact but more specific formats, in Section 1. | ||||
o Several minor corrections to the names in the ABNF. | ||||
o Added a reference for Base64 for clarity. | ||||
o Made the history of the OS and OPS subtypes a part of the | ||||
permanent text, rather than an editor's note. | ||||
o Updated the 1-Wire reference URL. | ||||
o Some editorial corrections. | ||||
