     35Roster versioning
     36^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     37
     38Some XMPP servers support roster versioning. A client can keep a cache of the
     39roster by requesting it and applying changes as roster pushes come in. Each
     40version of the roster is marked with a version identifier. This can be used
     41to request the roster upon reconnect. The server can then choose to send the
     42difference between the requested and current version as roster pushed,
     43instead of returning the complete roster.
     44
     45When no roster was cached by the client, yet, a client passes the empty
     46string (``''``) to ``getRoster`` to bootstrap the process.
     47
     48This example will force a reconnect 15 seconds after authentication.
