The DeltaV protocol specification was released as an RFC today! RFC 3253 is "Versioning Extensions to WebDAV", which extends RFC 2518 with capabilities for versioning and configuration management. RFC 3253 is a Proposed Standard, meaning it has resolved known technical tradeoffs, and is considered a stable base for widespread implementations. Major congratulations are due to Geoff Clemm, Jim Amsden, Tim Ellison, Chris Kaler, and the members of the DeltaV Design Team, and the DeltaV Working Group, for a job well done after 3.5 years of very hard work. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3253.txt Abstract This document specifies a set of methods, headers, and resource types that define the WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) versioning extensions to the HTTP/1.1 protocol. WebDAV versioning will minimize the complexity of clients that are capable of interoperating with a variety of versioning repository managers, to facilitate widespread deployment of applications capable of utilizing the WebDAV Versioning services. WebDAV versioning includes automatic versioning for versioning-unaware clients, version history management, workspace management, baseline management, activity management, and URL namespace versioning. - Jim
