Misleading release notice?

[vincentwoo]

The release that went out 10 minutes ago says that it updates the engine-io client to 1.8.4, but the version that was actually released seems to peg to 3.1.0:

"engine.io-client": "~3.1.0"

socket.io-client/package.json

Line 23 in d30914d

"engine.io-client": "~3.1.0",

Was this intentional?

I think you are referring to 1.7.4 release note: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client/releases/tag/1.7.4.

engine.io-client was actually updated to 3.1.0 in 2.0.0. Or am I missing something?

[vincentwoo]

I was confused, I think because the new release note hadn't made it. Can you speak to whether the 1.7x -> 2.x bump is breaking? Do I need to synchronously update the client and server? I couldn't find it in the docs but the semver bump is a bit scary.

[nuclearace]

I think it bumped for the double-encoding of unicode change, correct?

[darrachequesne]

I'll update the release note as soon as possible, but yes, the change @nuclearace is referring to is a breaking one (socketio/engine.io-parser#81).
