[sldev] message template updates, logging in change?

[Joel Riedesel]

Yeah and the main protocol description page as well if the sequence 
numbers really have changed from 24 bits to 32 bits.

I didn't get the blog post the first time around, thanks.  But it 
doesn't give me anything of substance other than identifying why all the 
packets are now numbered - makes sense.

But anything about the login change?  If not great.  Must be something 
amiss on my end.

Cheers,
Joel
