Changed​

  • Complete overhaul of the Documentation site

Fixed​

  • Incoming packets do not respect their channel

Added​

  • New Routes API
  • Strict Typing
  • Unreliable Channel
  • Hooks

  • Complete API Overhaul

[0.4.0] - 2023-11-27​

Changed​

  • Rewrote Net:query() to use the new QueryResult type
  • Rewrote Net:send() to use the new SendRequest type

[0.3.0] - 2023-09-20​

Added​

  • Matter Example Game AttackOfTheKillerRoombas, adapted from the official Matter Example Game.
  • TestEZ Unit Tests to separate branch

Removed​

  • Removed the ReliableOrdered and ReliableUnordered Channels in favor for the new Reliable Channel. ReliableUnordered already sent and received packets in order, rendering ReliableOrdered useless and wasteful.

[0.2.5] - 2023-09-12​

Fixed​

  • Query never filters Players, typecheck would always fail because typeof(Player) returns Instance
  • Query filtering all Players on the server when no Player was given in the QueryParams

[0.2.4] - 2023-08-28​

Fixed​

  • Middleware in the start method runs only once every two frames
  • Iterator filter fails to properly filter key-value pairs by @IntegralsGetYouArea in https://github.com/YetAnotherClown/Net/pull/1
  • Iterator filter should also take a key with it's value
  • Identifiers always have the same position when the pos parameter is not given

[0.2.3] - 2023-08-28​

Changed​

  • Updated the Getting Started page in Documentation to highlight the need to setup on both the Server and Client with the same configuration.

Fixed​

  • The typecheck in Bridge when processing the outgoing queue always fails when the recipient is of type Player.

[0.2.2] - 2023-07-17​

Changed​

  • Internal Naming of Functions for support for Roblox Debugging tools such as ScriptProfiler.

Fixed​

  • The iterator always defaulting to sending all packet information regardless if an returnFilter was provided.
  • Net:query() returning the Sender on Clients despite the Sender always being known on the Client as Net.Server.
  • The internal filter of Net:query() never returning the Sender when type { Player } is provided as a QueryParam and only one Player has sent packets.
  • The internal filter of Net:query() filtering out Server Packets on the Client.
  • The internal QueryParams Parser mistaking the Net.Server Recipient as an Identifier.

[0.2.1] - 2023-07-3​

  • Net:start() now utilizes middleware in Matter to schedule networking code.

Fixed​

  • Net.Server key to represent the key associated with the Server.

Changed​

  • Internal Configuration type to reflect the appropriate Channel types.
