We had some discussion on IRC.
Basically this message is changing the protocol format which obviously
breaks compatibility.
The "uint8 *name[name_size]" in the protocol means that there is a 4 byte
offset that points to a "uint8 name[name_size]", the message could be
something like
- name_size (4 bytes)
- offset of name (4 bytes)
- opened (1 bytes)
- name (name_size bytes)
Yes, it's complicated and using just a normal array would avoid the 4
bytes.
