-
-- streamname length validation added to {packet} factory method.
-
-### Changed
-- {packet}.bspIndex now defaults to *indexOf(BpsOpts, 256000)*.
-    -   this doesn't affect the CLI which already defaulted to 256000.
-- WithBPSOpt and WithChannel functional options now log at warn level if passed out of bounds value. They will fallback to valid defaults.
