Changelog

@liveblocks/*

• Fix unescaped room IDs when using Comments.

@liveblocks/react-comments

• Add support for auto links. (e.g. "www.liveblocks.io")

@liveblocks/client

• The client will disconnect with an error if your /api/liveblocks-auth backend returns reused/cached tokens. It’s important that auth tokens are always freshly generated, and never get cached or reused. (The client itself will cache and reuse tokens already, so implementing additional caching in your backend isn’t needed, and could even cause reconnection issues.)

@liveblocks/client

• Actually include the new Clear History API.

@liveblocks/react

• Fix missing dependency declaration.

This release marks the initial release of Liveblocks Comments (private beta).

@liveblocks/client

• New history API: room.history.clear() allows you to explicitly clear the history, which resets the ability to undo beyond the current state.
• Removed long deprecated methods:
  • others.count → Use others.length instead
  • others.toArray() → Use others instead (it’s already an array)
• Deprecated the Others<P, U> type → Use readonly User<P, U>[] instead.

@liveblocks/react

• Add support for Comments.
• UserMeta["info"] can no longer be a scalar value.

@liveblocks/react-comments

• Initial release.

@liveblocks/node

• Add Comments helpers to Client.
• Add Comments webhook events.

@liveblocks/node

• Fixes a bug where sending an empty (or non-string) user ID with .identifyUser would confusingly get reported as an HTTP 503.

@liveblocks/client

• Improve configuration error messages to be more user friendly.
• Fix bug where entering a new room could potentially initialize the undo stack incorrectly.

create-liveblocks-app

• Fix Suspense option when specifying a framework.
• Add helpful comments by default.

@liveblocks/node

• Add Yjs document change event (YDocUpdatedEvent) to WebhookHandler.
• Allow Header object to be passed to headers in WebhookHandler.verifyRequest()

@liveblocks/node

• Fix session.allow to support path up to 128 characters to meet room id length requirement.

@liveblocks/*

• Support the new and improved Liveblocks authorization.
• Change client logic to stop retrying if room is full. Instead, the client will now disconnect. To retry, call room.reconnect() explicitly.

@liveblocks/node

• Add new APIs for authorization. See our migration guide for tips on how to adopt the new style of authorizing your Liveblocks clients.

• Fix a small TypeScript issue introduced in 1.1.7.
