Question in regard to OFX 1.0.2 or 1.0.3

[Christian Stimming]

Dear Lisa,

thanks for sending this question directly to us, the developers of the gnucash 
software and their main development discussion mailing list.

Did I understand your question correctly: Your bank is about to change the 
implementation of the DirectConnect OFX server, and your concern is whether 
this might cause problems with customers who are using the GnuCash software 
for connecting to your DirectConnect server?

In that case the question is perfectly fine and we will have to think about 
this for a short time. In particular, the developer of the DirectConnect 
client software implementation needs to answer here, which is Martin Preuss of 
the included helper library, called "aqbanking". I've forwarded your question 
to him and we'll see what he knows about this issue from the client 
implementation point of view.

To the other gnucash developers here: Does someone know whether the current 
gnucash with aqbanking sends a DirectConnect request with OFX format version 
1.0.2 and/or without ClientUID? (I don't use that feature so I don't know 
myself.)

Best Regards,

Christian
