v0.10.0 Release Notes

Changes

Vortex PayloadEnvelope

This version of peek contains some breaking changes to do with the VortexJS/VortexPY.

A new class called “PayloadEnvelope” has been introduced. PayloadEnvelope wraps a Payload and is routed around the Vortexes.

The toVortexMsg/fromVortexMsg methods on the Payload class have been renamed to toEncodedPayload/fromEncodedPayload respectivly.

This change was made to improve performance, in some instances the Payload.tuples didn’t need to be deserialised/reserialised, for example when passing through the peek_client service, or being cached in the browsers/mobile devices.
