Version 1.4.0 Feature Release
This is principally a performance release, as we have introduced a bunch of new features that should improve performance, especially for higher end systems (those with multiple cores will see substantially improved scalability, and lower latencies.)
Other features:
- TCP ports may now be specified as service names.
- wss4, wss6, ws4, and ws6 can be used to force IPv6 or IPv4 binding for websocket URLs.
- REQ will fail fast if no retry timer is present, and the peer disconnects
- abstract sockets can be used on Linux (see nng_ipc.7 for details)
- websocket stream mode now supports TEXT mode streams
- thread names can be set, and NNG will set names for its own (see nng_thr_setname.3)
- IPv6 scoped addresses are supported
- nngcat grew --file and --data options to supply data to send
Thanks.
