Roadmap

v0.5

Updates to the next release of Ratchet will be made against the v0.5 branch. This version will add some functionality, including a transition period, while keeping backwards compatibility. Key features for this version include:

• WebSocket deflate support. Off by default. A new optional parameter to be added to WsServer to enable compression.
• ConnectionInterface will implement PSR-11's ContainerInterface. Properties from Components will be accessible via $conn->get('HTTP.request') as well as the current magic methodical way of $conn->HTTP->request.
• Update dependencies to work with all React 1.0 libraries. We will support a range of what's supported now (0.x versions) up to 1.0. A couple of their APIs have changed in 1.0 so this may be a BC break for some people if they're also using React in their projects, hence maintaining support for the old version as well
• Add TLS support to the App Facade (Allowing TLS options (for WSS) on App facade #848)
• Consider adopting PSR-12 in the form of a pre-commit hook or GitHub action to auto-format so the code base is consistent without having to think about it

v0.6/v1.0

This version will not include any new features but have backwards compatibility breaks from old code.

• Remove the magic accessors from ConnectionInterface. All properties set by Components are to be access via ContainerInterface methods. This will be a syntactic BC break but not an architectural one.
• New version of PHP requirement (discussions to be had around which version this should be)
• Transition return type declarations on all methods from Docblocks to language
• Remove FlashPolicy from App
• Session and WAMP components will be moved to their own repositories
• Drop support for pre 1.0 version of React dependencies
• Determine optimal target version of Symfony libraries
