2.5.0

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

The default value of the maxHttpBufferSize option has been decreased from 100 MB to 1 MB, in order to prevent attacks by denial of service.

Security advisory: GHSA-j4f2-536g-r55m

Bug Fixes

• fix race condition in dynamic namespaces (05e1278)
• ignore packet received after disconnection (22d4bdf)
• only set 'connected' to true after middleware execution (226cc16)

4.5.0

Bug Fixes

• typings: ensure compatibility with TypeScript 3.x (#4259) (02c87a8)

Features

• add support for catch-all listeners for outgoing packets (531104d)

This is similar to onAny(), but for outgoing packets.

Syntax:

socket.onAnyOutgoing((event, ...args) => {
  console.log(event);
});

• broadcast and expect multiple acks (8b20457)

Syntax:

io.timeout(1000).emit("some-event", (err, responses) => {
  // ...
});

• add the "maxPayload" field in the handshake details (088dcb4)

So that clients in HTTP long-polling can decide how many packets they have to send to stay under the maxHttpBufferSize
value.

This is a backward compatible change which should not mandate a new major revision of the protocol (we stay in v4), as
we only add a field in the JSON-encoded handshake data:

0{"sid":"lv_VI97HAXpY6yYWAAAC","upgrades":["websocket"],"pingInterval":25000,"pingTimeout":5000,"maxPayload":1000000}

4.4.0

Bug Fixes

• only set 'connected' to true after middleware execution (02b0f73)

Features

• add an implementation based on uWebSockets.js (c0d8c5a)

const { App } = require("uWebSockets.js");
const { Server } = require("socket.io");

const app = new App();
const io = new Server();

io.attachApp(app);

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  // ...
});

app.listen(3000, (token) => {
  if (!token) {
    console.warn("port already in use");
  }
});

• add timeout feature (f0ed42f)

socket.timeout(5000).emit("my-event", (err) => {
  if (err) {
    // the client did not acknowledge the event in the given delay
  }
});

• add type information to socket.data (#4159) (fe8730c)

interface SocketData {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const io = new Server<ClientToServerEvents, ServerToClientEvents, InterServerEvents, SocketData>();

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  socket.data.name = "john";
  socket.data.age = 42;
});
