Versions Summary

Socket.IO, a cornerstone for real-time web applications using Node.js, boasts a rich history evident in its extensive version releases. Initially developed by LearnBoost, versions 0.3.8 through 0.6.x focused on establishing cross-browser WebSocket compatibility. Guillermo Rauch took the lead later, contributing significantly from version 0.6.17 and onwards. The 0.7.x and 0.8.x iterations solidified the API and introduced dependencies like Redis for enhanced functionality.

The 0.9.x versions saw a period of refinement and optimization, culminating in the pivotal 1.0.0 release in 2014. This marked a shift towards a modular architecture and more structured development. Branching into the 1.x series (1.0.x to 1.7.x) Socket.IO evolved with incremental improvements and dependency updates, integrating better debugging tools.

The 2.x line prioritized performance and stability, as seen in versions 2.0.0 – 2.5.1, while introducing necessary updates to its core dependencies. Socket.IO's evolution continued with the 3.x and 4.x releases. These brought TypeScript support, more significant engine upgrades, and focused improvements for improved performance in modern web development landscapes, establishing the framework as a reliable solution for seamless and dynamic real-time communication. The last versions showcase an active maintenance with updates on important dependencies.
