• Introduced new relayKeepAlive option on Waku with a default to 59s to send ping messages over relay to ensure the relay stream stays open. This is a workaround until js-libp2p#744 is done as there are issues when TCP(?) timeouts and the stream gets closed (#185, js-libp2p#939)

Fixed

• Remove infinite loop when an error with Waku Store is encountered.

0.8.0 - 2021-07-15

• Examples (eth-dm): Use Waku Message version 1 encryption scheme instead of eth-crypto.
• Examples (eth-dm): Use Protobuf for direct messages instead of JSON (#214).

Fixed
