• v2.0.0 Changes

  🔋 Features

  • 👉 User presence has been added, enabling querying and subscription to who is online within a cluster
  • 🔧 Introduces the configuration option broadcastTimeout to config.yml to allow coalescing of broadcasts. This option can be used to improve broadcast message latency such as events, data-sync and presence For example, the performance of broadcasting 100 events to 1000 subscribers was improved by a factor of 20
  • ➕ Adds client heartbeats, along with configuration optionheartbeatInterval in config.yml. If a connected client fails to send a heartbeat within this timeout, it will be considered to have disconnected #419
  • ➕ Adds healthchecks – deepstream now responds to http GET requests to path /health-check on port 6020 with code 200. This path can be configured with the healthCheckPath option in config.yml

  ✨ Enhancements

  • 🔨 E2E tests refactored
  • uWS is now compiled into the deepstream binary, eliminating reliability issues caused by dynamic linking

  💥 Breaking Changes

  • Clients prior to v2.0.0 are no longer compatible
  • 🔄 Changed format of RPC request ACK messages to be more consistent with the rest of the specs #408
  • 🐎 We removed support for TCP and engine.io, providing huge performance gains by integrating tightly with native uWS
  • 👌 Support for webRTC has been removed
  • You can no longer set custom data transforms directly on deepstream

• v1.1.0 Changes

  September 08, 2016

  🐛 Bug Fixes

• v1.0.4 Changes

  August 16, 2016

  🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Auth: File authentication sends server data to client on cleartext passwords #322

  • 🌲 Auth: HTTP authentication missing logger during when attempting to log any errors occured on http server #320

• v1.0.3 Changes

  July 28, 2016

  🐛 Bug Fixes

  • CLI: installer for connectors sometimes fail to download (and extract) the archive #305
  • Auth: File authentication doesn't contain serverData and clientData #304

  Read data using FileAuthentication using clientData and serverData rather than data

  🔋 Features

  ⏱ ###### Make connection timeout

  👉 Users can now provide a unauthenticatedClientTimeout config option that forces connections to close if they don't authenticate in time. This helps reduce load on server by terminating idle connections.

  • ⏱ null: Disable timeout
  • number: Time in milliseconds before connection is terminated

• v1.0.2 Changes

  July 19, 2016

  🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🛠 Fixed issue regarding last subscription to a deleted record not being cleared up

• v1.0.1 Changes

  July 18, 2016

  🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🛠 Fix issue when try to pass options to the default logger #288 (update docs as well)

  • 🛠 Fix issue deleting a record does not unsubscribe it and all other connections, not allowing resubscriptions to occur #293

  ✨ Enhancements

  👍 ###### Throw better error if dependency doesn't implement Emitter or isReady

• v1.0.0 Changes

  July 09, 2016

  🔋 Features

  CLI

  You can start deepstream via a command line interface. You find it in the bin directory. It provides these subcommands:

  • start
  • stop
  • status
  • install
  • info
  • hash append a --help to see the usage.

  🔧 ###### File based configuration 🔧 You can now use a file based configuration instead of setting options via ds.set(key, value). deepstream is shipped with a conf directory which contains three files:

  • config.yml this is the main config file, you can specify most of the deepstream options in that file
  • permissions.yml this file can be consumed by the PermissionHandler. It's not used by default, but you can enable it in the config.yml
  • users.yml this file can be consumed by the AuthenticationHandler. It's not used by default, but you can enable it in the config.yml

  For all config types support these file types: .yml, .json and .js

  Constructor API

  There are different options what you can pass:

  • not passing any arguments ( consistent with 0.x )
  • passing null will result in loading the default configuration file in the directory conf/config.yml
  • passing a string which is a path to a configuration file, supported formats: .yml, .json and .js
  • passing an object which defines several options, all other options will be merged from deepstream's default values

  Valve permissions rules

  You can write your permission into a structured file. This file supports a special syntax, which allows you to do advanced permission checks. This syntax is called Valve.

  ✨ Enhancements

  uws

  deepstream now uses uws, a native C++ websocket server

  🔌 ###### no process.exit on plugin initialization error or timeout deepstream will not longer stops your process via process.exit(). This happened before when a connector failed to initialise correctly #243 instead it will throw an error now.

  Currently the API provides no event or callback to handle this error other than subscribing to the global uncaughtException event.

  process.once('uncaughtException', err => {
    // err.code will equal to of these constant values:
    // C.EVENT.PLUGIN_INITIALIZATION_TIMEOUT
    // or C.EVENT.PLUGIN_INITIALIZATION_ERROR
  })
  

  Keep in mind that deepstream will be in an unpredictable state and you should consider to create a new instance.

  💥 Breaking Changes

  Permission Handler

  In 0.x you can set a permissionHandler which needs to implement two functions:

  • isValidUser(connectionData, authData, callback)
  • canPerformAction(username, message, callback)

  In deepstream 1.0 the isValidUser and onClientDisconnect methods are no longer part of the permissionHandler and are instead within the new authenticationHandler.

  You can reuse the same 0.x permission handler except you will have to set it on both explicitly.

  const permissionHandler = new CustomPermissionHandler()
  ds.set( 'permissionHandler', permissionHandler )
  ds.set( 'authenticationHandler', permissionHandler )
  

  🔌 ###### Plugin API 🔌 All connectors including, the permissionHandler, authenticationHandler and logger all need to implement the plugin interface which means exporting an object that:

  • has a constructor
  • 🔀 has an isReady property which is true once the connector has been initialized. For example in the case a database connector this would only be true once the connection has been established. If the connector is synchronous you can set this to true within the constructor.
  • extends the EventEmitter, and emits a ready event once initialized and error on error.

  Logger and colors options

  🔧 The color flag can't be set in the root level of the configuration anymore. 🔊 The default logger will print logs to the StdOut/StdErr in colors. 🔧 You can use the deepstream.io-logger-winston which can be configured in the config.yml file with several options.

  Connection redirects

  🌲 deepstream clients now have a handshake protocol which allows them to be redirected to the most efficient node and expect an initial connection ack before logging in. As such In order to connect a client to deepstream server you need also to have a client with version 1.0 or higher.
