Week 6

v2.17.0

@liveblocks/client

• Report a console error when a client attempts to send a WebSocket message that is >1 MB (which is not supported). Previously the client would silently fail in this scenario.
• Added a new client config option largeMessageStrategy to allow specifying the preferred strategy for dealing with messages that are too large to send over WebSockets. There now is a choice between:
  • default Don’t send anything, but log the error to the console.
  • split Split the large message up into smaller chunks (at the cost of sacrificing atomicity). Thank you @adam-subframe!
  • experimental-fallback-to-http Send the message over HTTP instead of WebSocket.
• Deprecated the unstable_fallbackToHTTP experimental flag (please set largeMessageStrategy="experimental-fallback-to-http" instead).

@liveblocks/react

• Added <LiveblocksProvider largeMessageStrategy="..." /> prop to LiveblocksProvider. See above for possible options.

@liveblocks/react-ui

• Fix crash when a Composer is unmounted during its onComposerSubmit callback.
• Add new icons to <Icon.* />.
