Socket.io 1.1.0 released

Please, do not praise a product which is still not able to understand is user still online or not. Even their demo page say "there're 45485 participants"; this is not true. Socket pool still has leak issues, can't anybody see this?

Are most of the Socket.IO users using node at the server side?<p>I started using Socket.IO with python server, gevent-socketio (actually Flask-SocketIO that is based on gevent-socketio). But then the Socket.IO 1.0 came out 28 May 2014 and gevent-socketio is not yet updated. Not sure if there&#x27;s any plan for it.<p>Another tricky part is that gevent-socketio doesn&#x27;t play together with uwsgi so I had to move from uwsgi to gunicorn in order to use Socket.IO and also the latest gunicorn breaks Socket.IO support so must use gunicorn 0.16.1 instead of 0.19.1. A bit frustrating ride. But that&#x27;s another story :-)

We&#x27;ve been using Socket.IO for years. It works well. Here is a Space Invaders demo we put together a couple of years ago. <a href="http://www.webdigi.co.uk/fun/space" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.webdigi.co.uk&#x2F;fun&#x2F;space</a><p>Socket.IO let&#x27;s you control space invaders on your desktop realtime mobile browser with websockets, long polling, etc.

I used to follow SockJS closely, but some comments here about cellular networks made me reconsider just doing long poll and nothing else.

I stopped updating socket.io on production after 0.9.0 as i&#x27;ve seen lots of problems like closed connections without any notification. I&#x27;ve tried 0.9.x and 1.x.x versions. It got me 2 days to figure out that problem was from socket.io.

Hey,<p>First I am here to promote my own library. Which is essentially different from SocketIO in that it acts as a more higher level abstraction providing you access to web framework like resources. It&#x27;s on github and written in Python<p>Check it out if you have a minute: <a href="https://github.com/nadirhamid/oneline" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nadirhamid&#x2F;oneline</a>

Anyone know how this compares with SignalR?
