v0.18.7

• Fix deadlock during PUB/SUB sync in channels with recovery. See original report and pr with a fix.

v0.18.6

• Fix panic on concurrent subscribe to the same channel with recovery on (#207).

v0.18.5

• Update sockjs-go dependency (contains fix for sockjs-go#100).

v0.18.4

• Fix bufio: buffer full error when unmarshalling large JSON messages.

v0.18.3

• Fix unexpected end of JSON input errors in Javascript client with Centrifuge >= v0.18.0 when publishing formatted JSON (with new lines). See centrifugal/protocol#10. Pull request also removes one extra allocation (data copy) during JSON and Protobuf protocol Push message encoding. As the result JSON without new lines will be encoded even faster, Protobuf messages will be encoded faster regardless new lines in payloads. JSON encoding of payload with new lines will require additional allocation since we are stripping new lines now. The penalty is not critical though - see benchmarks in mentioned pull request.

v0.18.2

• Redis: reload data pipeline immediately upon reconnect, this should help to avoid one additional error after reconnecting to Redis (commit)

v0.18.1

• Add history reverse field to client protocol and handle it.

v0.18.0

This release has several backward incompatible changes. Changes should affect the small number of Centrifuge library users, and it should be possible to adapt only by slightly modifying server-side code. Follow release notes carefully.

• Breaking change. Client history API behavior changed. Now history call does not return all publications by default (#196). See an advice how you can handle this change in a backwards compatible way below.
• Breaking change. Redis STREAM data structure now used by default to keep a publication history in Redis Engine (#195). Previously Centrifuge Redis Engine used LIST data structure by default. See RedisBrokerConfig.UseLists option to turn on previous behavior. Redis streams is a recommended way though, support for LIST data structure may be eventually removed.
• Breaking change. Transport.Encoding removed. It turns out that this option is not really useful for the Centrifuge library and can only cause confusion.
• Breaking change. Change Node.History behavior – Unrecoverable Position error now returned based on the wrong epoch only.
• Breaking change. Remove deprecated seq/gen fields - see #197. Those were deprecated for a long time.
• Breaking change. Client.Connect now does not return an error – this allows Centrifuge to automatically send a proper Disconnect push towards the connection.
• Breaking change. WithClientWhitelist renamed to WithDisconnectClientWhitelist.
• Much faster JSON client protocol. Expect at least 4x speedup for small messages JSON encoding/decoding. For large messages the difference can be even bigger. This is possible due to using code generation for encoding and a faster library for JSON decoding in centrifugal/protocol package. See centrifugal/protocol#8.
• Message broadcast allocates less - see #193. Can be noticeable when broadcasting messages to large number of active subscribers. The side effect of this change is that Transport implementations should now have Write and WriteMany methods.
• Centrifuge now uses official Protobuf library for Go with planetscale/vtprotobuf code generator instead of gogo/protobuf library which is not maintained these days anymore. The performance of Protobuf marshaling/unmarshaling is comparable.
• New Config.UseSingleFlight option added. The option can help to reduce the load on Broker and Presence manager during massive reconnect and history synchronization scenarios.
• WebSocket subprotocol is now can be used for switching to Protobuf protocol (#194). This will help to avoid adding ?format=protobuf in WebSocket connection URL.
• OnTransportWrite callback added to inject custom logic before actual write to a client connection.
• OnNodeInfoSend callback added to attach custom data to Node control frame.
• Client.Info method which returns a copy of the connection info (set by Credentials).
• Node.History now supports iteration in reversed order (#201).
• Client.Refresh and Node.Refresh methods added to prolong/expire connections (useful for unidirectional transports).
• GRPC unidirectional transport example improvements

Regarding client history API change. So previously when a client called history it received all publications in a stream by default. In Centrifuge v0.18.0 it will only receive current stream top position (offset and epoch) without any publications.

To mimic previous behavior you can use code like this:

node.OnConnect(func(client *centrifuge.Client) {
    client.OnHistory(func(e centrifuge.HistoryEvent, cb centrifuge.HistoryCallback) {
        if e.Filter.Limit == 0 {
            result, err := node.History(e.Channel,
                centrifuge.WithSince(e.Filter.Since),
                centrifuge.WithLimit(centrifuge.NoLimit),
            )
            if err != nil {
                cb(centrifuge.HistoryReply{}, err)
                return
            }
            cb(centrifuge.HistoryReply{Result: &result}, nil)
            return
        }
        cb(centrifuge.HistoryReply{}, nil)
    })
})

I.e. explicitly handle zero limit and return all publications in response (using centrifuge.NoLimit). Then upgrade clients to use recent Centrifuge clients (will be released soon after Centrifuge v0.18.0) which allow setting limit explicitly and remove this custom logic eventually from the server code.

v0.18.0 is a valid semantic version for this release.

v0.17.1

• Possibility to bypass broker when publishing - see #198
• Added more tests

v0.17.0

• Remove unidirectional WebSocket support from builtin WebSocket transport. This was done to not force transport implementation details and to reduce code in a library core. It's still possible to build unidirectional WebSocket transport - just not with a builtin WebsocketHandler, see example.
• Introduce node.Notify method. Notify allows sending an asynchronous notification to all other node (or to a single specific node). Unlike Survey it does not wait for any response
• Since option of history call renamed to WithSince for consistency with other option names
