CHANGES.md

3.4.1 2017-07-06

• Backwards compatibility fix for seneca-amqp-transport 2.2.0 (legacy.meta=true)

3.4.0 2017-07-03

• Verified working against Node 8.
• Added github standard code of conduct.
• Now using https://github.com/prettier/prettier as code format.
• Refactored message and reply meta data, making message tracking much easier; Actions and callbacks get a third parameter meta, that has all the details.
• Minor refactor of error handling so that errors are passed-through; intended for 4.x, enable with legacy.error=false.
• Next-generation transport (2X faster, new simpler API for transport writers) included in core Seneca; only http transport written; intended to be default transport in 4.x, enable with legacy.transport=false.
• As part of next-generation transport, a new message protocol that gives the message data prioity as a JSON object, and placed Seneca meta data into the meta$ property.
• Action cache replaced by action history utility, making a decoupled seneca.reply mehtod possible (as used (and needed) by next-generation transport).
• Fixed root deprecation warning; Better, but incomplete refactor of source files; some minor fixes;

3.3.0 2017-02-07

• Coverage report now generates as /docs/coverage.html and is not stored in the repo.
