centrifugal/centrifugo v5.4.6

on GitHub

Centrifugo is an open-source scalable real-time messaging server. Centrifugo can instantly deliver messages to application online users connected over supported transports (WebSocket, HTTP-streaming, SSE/EventSource, GRPC, WebTransport). Centrifugo has the concept of a channel – so it's a user-facing PUB/SUB server.

Centrifugo is language-agnostic and can be used to build chat apps, live comments, multiplayer games, real-time data visualizations, collaborative tools, etc. in combination with any backend. It is well suited for modern architectures and allows decoupling the business logic from the real-time transport layer.

Several official client SDKs for browser and mobile development wrap the bidirectional protocol. In addition, Centrifugo supports a unidirectional approach for simple use cases with no SDK dependency.

For details, go to the Centrifugo documentation site.

What's changed

Improvements

• Added option to configure a custom token user ID claim. See #783. Although we still recommend using the sub claim, there are scenarios where a different claim name is required. You can now configure this using the token_user_id_claim option.
• Connection durations are now logged as human-readable strings instead of nanoseconds. See centrifugal/centrifuge#416.

Fixes

• Fixed Fossil delta construction in recovered publications. See centrifugal/centrifuge#415. This prevents bad checksum errors during recovery with delta compression enabled.
• Handled the history meta key eviction scenario in Redis to avoid publish errors. See centrifugal/centrifuge#412. This fix addresses #888.
• Full basic auth credentials are no longer displayed in proxy endpoint logs. See #890. The URL is now redacted in logs.
• Fixed panic occurring during PostgreSQL consumer dispatch error handling. See #889.
• Added missing delta_publish top-level default definition. See #896. This fix addresses an unknown option warning in logs on Centrifugo startup.
