Socket.io: When did 2.0 happen?

When did 2.0 happen? Is it stable? I cannot see neither in the homepage nor in the repository information about breaking changes or transition paths. What broke that was warrant a major bump?

I am also invested on 1.0 as I'm preparing to release server which relies on socket.io so I'd love to know these changes in the same way that there was a transition guide from 0.9 to 1.x. If there are no breaking changes I think the homepage or repo would be a good place to say so for people who worry (like myself).

PS, I really love socket.io, great work!

Ah I searched and found the History as well, but I mean that some sort of public announcement would also be nice in either the homepage, documentation or Github's README

[darrachequesne]

Well, I'm open to suggestions!

What has already been done:

• an update to the homepage
• a blog post
• a release note
• and a twitter post

Hi, is there anything that needs to happen in order to upgrade 1.x to 2.0? I haven't seen any notes on upgrading other than 0.9. Is it just drop/replace?

[darrachequesne]

@tagyoureit besides upgrading your nodejs if you are still running 0.10/0.12 versions, I don't see anything particular to do.

@darrachequesne is uws in there by default meaning we don't have to track it or add it somewhere? And is it still recommended to add bufferutils + utf8-validate? And at which versions, 2.x.x, or latest?
