# Changelog
## Next version
## 2021-05-11 v0.3
- Refactor: Split out `waku_types` types into right place; create utils folder.
- Refactor: Replace sequence of ContentTopics in ContentFilter with a single ContentTopic.
- Docs: Add information on how to query Status test fleet for node addresses; how to view logs and how to update submodules.
- PubSub topic `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` no longer returns a future (removed `async` designation)
- Added a peer manager for `relay`, `filter`, `store` and `swap` peers.
- `relay`, `filter`, `store` and `swap` peers are now stored in a common, shared peer store and no longer in separate sets.
- Admin API now provides a `post` method to connect to peers on an ad-hoc basis
- Added persistent peer storage. A node will now attempt to reconnect to `relay` peers after a restart.
- Changed `contentTopic` back to a string
- Fixed: content filtering now works on any PubSub topic and not just the `waku` default.
- Added the `pubsubTopic` field to the `HistoryQuery`. Now, the message history can be filtered and queried based on the `pubsubTopic`.
- Added a new table of `Message` to the message store db. The new table has an additional column of `pubsubTopic` and will be used instead of the old table `messages`. The message history in the old table `messages` will not be accessed and have to be removed.
- Added a new column of `version` to the `Message` table of the message store db.
- Fix: allow mounting light protocols without `relay`
- Add `keep-alive` option to maintain stable connection to `relay` peers on idle topics
- Add a bridge between Waku v1 and v2
- Add a chat application (`chat2`) over Waku v2 with bridging to matterbridge
This release contains the following:
### Features
- Start of [`RLN relay` implementation](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/17/)
- Start of [`swap` implementation](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/18/)
- Start of [fault-tolerant `store` implementation](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/21/)
- Initial [`bridge` implementation](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/15/) between Waku v1 and v2 protocols
- Initial [`lightpush` implementation](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/19/)
- A peer manager for `relay`, `filter`, `store` and `swap` peers
- Persistent storage for peers: A node with this feature enabled will now attempt to reconnect to `relay` peers after a restart. It will respect the gossipsub [PRUNE backoff](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md#prune-backoff-and-peer-exchange) period before attempting to do so.
- `--persist-peers` CLI option to persist peers in local storage
- `--persist-messages` CLI option to store historical messages locally
- `--keep-alive` CLI option to maintain a stable connection to `relay` peers on idle topics
- A CLI chat application ([`chat2`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/tutorial/chat2.md)) over Waku v2 with [bridging to matterbridge](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/tutorial/chat2.md#bridge-messages-between-chat2-and-matterbridge)
### Changes
#### General refactoring
- Split out `waku_types` types into the right place; create `utils` folder.
- Change type of `contentTopic` in [`ContentFilter`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/12/#protobuf) to `string`.
- Replace sequence of `contentTopics` in [`ContentFilter`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/12/#protobuf) with a single `contentTopic`.
- Add `timestamp` field to [`WakuMessage`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/14/#payloads).
- Ensure CLI config parameters use a consistent naming scheme. Summary of changes [here](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/pull/543).
#### Docs
Several clarifications and additions aimed at contributors, including
- information on [how to query Status test fleet](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/faq.md) for node addresses,
- [how to view logs](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/contributors/cluster-logs.md), and
- [how to update submodules](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/contributors/git-submodules.md).
#### Schema
- Add `Message` table to the persistent message store. This table replaces the old `messages` table. It has two additional columns, namely
- `pubsubTopic`, and
- `version`.
- Add `Peer` table for persistent peer storage.
#### API
- [JSON-RPC Admin API](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/16): Added a [`post` method](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/16/#post_waku_v2_admin_v1_peers) to connect to peers on an ad-hoc basis.
- [Nim API](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/api/v2/node.md): PubSub topic `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` no longer returns a future (removed `async` designation).
- [`HistoryQuery`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/13/#historyquery): Added `pubsubTopic` field. Message history can now be filtered and queried based on the `pubsubTopic`.
- [`HistoryQuery`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/13/#historyquery): Added support for querying a time window by specifying start and end times.
### Fixes
- Running nodes can now be shut down gracefully
- Content filtering now works on any PubSub topic and not just the `waku` default.
- Nodes can now mount protocols without supporting `relay` as a capability
The [Waku v2 suite of protocols](https://rfc.vac.dev/) are still in a raw/draft state.
This release supports the following [libp2p protocols](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/protocols/):
| Protocol | Spec status | Protocol id |
| ---: | :---: | :--- |
| [`17/WAKU-RLN`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/17/) | `raw` | `/vac/waku/waku-rln-relay/2.0.0-alpha1` |
| [`18/WAKU2-SWAP`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/18/) | `raw` | `/vac/waku/swap/2.0.0-alpha1` |
| [`19/WAKU2-LIGHTPUSH`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/19/) | `raw` | `/vac/waku/lightpush/2.0.0-alpha1` |
| [`11/WAKU2-RELAY`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/) | `draft` | `/vac/waku/relay/2.0.0-beta2` |
| [`12/WAKU2-FILTER`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/12/) | `draft` | `/vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-beta1` |
| [`13/WAKU2-STORE`](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/13/) | `draft` | `/vac/waku/store/2.0.0-beta3` |
The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.
