[ANN] faye-websocket 0.10 and websocket-driver 0.6

[James Coglan]

Hi everyone,

This is to announce new releases of faye-websocket and websocket-driver for Node and Ruby. The main changes are:

faye-websocket 0.10.0:

* Adds the standard 'close' and 'reason' parameters to the close() method

websocket-driver 0.6.0:

* Allows the parser to continue safely if an event listener raises an error

* Adds a pong() method for sending unsolicited pong frames

They are available via npm and rubygems as usual.

As an aside, it seems from the download stats on npm that an awful lot of people are still using faye-websocket <= 0.4, before websocket-driver was extracted from it. This release is now 3 years old and missing many protocol bug fixes, and I strongly recommend that you upgrade. If there's a reason you cannot upgrade I would like to know, since I try to make all releases back-compatible.
