brugeman on Nostr: Case in point - nip46 nip04_decrypt method used to return [plaintext], which didn't ...

Case in point - nip46 nip04_decrypt method used to return [plaintext], which didn't make sense, but that was spec-ed. Snort implemented a sane, but broken version - expecting just plaintext string. It wasn't working with ndk that returned [plaintext], so I looked things up, people were proposing to "fix" it - change the spec, I saw 'No it will break implementations' comment and went on to fix Snort - make it accept [plaintext]. Turns out that was "fixed" in the spec now and changed in NDK - it returns plaintext string now, but Snort has no idea about it and now I have to unfix Snort. I'm not sure, maybe I and Kieran aren't following the right process to stay up to date w/ NIP changes but this kinda illustrates the point.
