I don't know much about protocols. But what is the advantage of switching from websocket to http? Isn't web socket more useful for realtime data?
This is the week of greatest change - so enjoy the rush!
- 0.17.4 is running great,
- and the community is handling people’s questions well,
so you made the right choice.
[I will start testing 0.18 now.]
Thanks for the announcement. For those of us hoping to upgrade to 0.18.0 quickly once it's available, is this community the place to watch for a timely announcement of that, or should we be watching on GitHub or elsewhere?
Thank you for your hard work!
By "switching entirely to HTTP", do you mean Server-Sent Events, or do you mean polling? I havent tried 0.18.0 yet, but in general polling can end up using far more resources unless you're doing something clever like passing the last update timestamp to the server and only querying the DB for new content since that timestamp (and timestamps are indexed in the DB).
