Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] docs: clarify trace2 version invariants
Date: Thu,  3 Oct 2019 16:32:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a757bca8f99bad57806bfdcd67ac1c1f6cc38584.1570144820.git.steadmon@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1570144820.git.steadmon@google.com>

Make it explicit that we always want trace2 "version" events to be the
first event of any trace session. Also list the changes that would or
would not cause the EVENT format version field to be incremented.
