This update is supposed to fix an annoying bug that has existed since the add-on release: incorrect display of online users in expansions such as Real-Time Chat and XenForo Messenger
Implemented an elegant solution for updating the csrf token and connecting to the websocket server when restoring a page from the back-forward cache: this should improve the connection when restoring a tab in a browser on mobile devices and help avoid the "Security error..." error.
XenForo 2.3 support
Name pattern feature for channels
XF.Echo and XF.EchoManager now are deprecated, use window.ws.echo and window.ws.manager instead
Updated soketi config parameters generation format to more user-friendly
Removed some permission checks in the broadcast controller to ensure websockets work correctly in different situations
Minimum PHP version now is 8.1
I also invite you to take a look at the updated version of the documentation, which turned out to be just amazing:
The getWebsocketsPromise method has been introduced, which allows you to execute code after the XF.Echo and XF.EchoManager objects are ready to work. This method should improve the stability of add-ons based on XenForo WebSockets.
Support for the Keep Alive XenForo system that updates the CSRF token when a tab is restored in browsers on mobile devices. This will get rid of such errors: Cookie Required To Use This Site, Security Error.
