Included Typica version

[shlomo]

Hi,

What version of typica is bundled with lifeguard-0.2? The jar in the
workspace is simply called "typica.jar", with no version indicator.

What is the plan (if any) for updating lifeguard as newer versions of
typica are released?

Thanks.

I have been keeping typica updated in lifeguard. It is currently the
1.3 release, but has a special version string because Amazon wanted to
be able to tell how much SQS traffic was generated from lifeguard, so
the user-agent indicates typica-1.3-lg

Thanks.

My application uses typica separately from lifeguard as well. Assuming
I use the typica jar bundled with lifeguard, some of the traffic will
be misidentified as coming via lifeguard. And, conversely, if I use
the typica jar from the typica distribution, then the typica-via-
lifeguard traffic will not be identified as such.

Just wanted to make sure you're aware of this.

Thanks. That is certainly a risk, as is the risk that someone will
deploy lifeguard with another version of typica. It was a simple trick
that the SQS guys and I thought we'd try anyway.
