# Changelog

## Next version

- Refactor: Split out `waku_types` types into right place; create utils folder.
- 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.

## 2021-01-05 v0.2

This release contains the following changes:

- Calls to `publish` a message on `wakunode2` now `await` instead of `discard` dispatched [`WakuRelay`](https://github.com/vacp2p/specs/blob/master/specs/waku/v2/waku-relay.md) procedures.
- [`StrictNoSign`](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/pubsub#message-signing) enabled.
- Add JSON-RPC API for external access to `wakunode2` functionality:
  - Admin API retrieves information about peers registered on the `wakunode2`.
  - Debug API exposes debug information about a `wakunode2`.
  - Filter API saves bandwidth by allowing light nodes to filter for specific content.
  - Private API enables symmetric or asymmetric cryptography to encrypt/decrypt message payloads.
  - Relay API allows basic pub/sub functionality.
  - Store API retrieves historical messages.
- Add tutorial on how to use JSON-RPC API.
- Refactor: Move `waku_filter` protocol into its own module.

The Waku v2 implementation, and [most protocols it consist of](https://specs.vac.dev/specs/waku/),
are still in a draft/beta state. The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.

## 2020-11-30 v0.1

Initial beta release.

This release contains:

- A Nim implementation of the [Waku v1 protocol](https://specs.vac.dev/waku/waku.html).
- A Nim implementation of the [Waku v2 protocol](https://specs.vac.dev/specs/waku/v2/waku-v2.html).
- CLI applications `wakunode` and `wakunode2` that allows you to run a Waku v1 or v2 node.
- Examples of Waku v1 and v2 usage.
- Various tests of above.

Currenty the Waku v2 implementation, and [most protocols it consist of](https://specs.vac.dev/specs/waku/),
are in a draft/beta state. The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.
