Version 5.1

Features

• Usage of RecyclableMemoryStream for processing incoming messages. Thanks @Odonno !
• The new methods available
  • SendAsText(byte[] | ArraySegment<byte>) - send binary message as Text type. Use it to avoid double serialization.

Version 5.0

Breaking changes

• removed LibLog in favor of Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. You need to provide ILogger instance in the constructor parameter.
• library no longer targeting netstandard2.0 and net5

Features

• nullable reference types enabled, you should now get a better info on what can be null

Version 4.0

Breaking changes

• timeout properties changed from milliseconds (int) to TimeSpan
• DisconnectionHappened, ReconnectionHappened streams now return complex info object instead of enum
• changed return type from Task to void in Send() methods (sending is done through the queue)

Features

• ability to disable last chance reconnection (when no message comes from server for predefined time) - ReconnectTimeout = null
• streaming fake messages - to mimic server response - StreamFakeMessage(...)
• fail fast for starting, stopping and manual reconnection - throws an exception when the initial connection fails - StartOrFail(), ReconnectOrFail(), StopOrFail()
• more info in DisconnectionHappened stream - close status, exception that caused disconnection, etc.
• runtime reconnection canceling from DisconnectionHappened stream - it will stop ongoing reconnection - disconnectionInfo.CancelReconnection = true
• normal closure - automatically Close client when server sends Close message, could be disabled by DisconnectionHappened stream - disconnectionInfo.CancelClosing= true
• performance optimizations
  • sending is done through Channels
  • listening now allocates less memory and handles differently single chunk vs multi chunks

Version 3.0

Breaking changes

• return type of MessageReceived observable was changed from string to ResponseMessage

Features

• support for binary messages
  • a new method Send() and SendInstant() with parameter byte[]
  • MessageReceived observable now streams text or binary data (there is type property to distinguish between them)
• a new MessageEncoding property to change encoding of sent/received text messages (default is UTF8)

Version 2.0

Breaking changes

• dependency to Serilog was removed, switched to logging abstraction (LibLog)

Features

• a new Name property to distinguish between websocket clients in the logs
