Introduced WasmDB as a new IndexedDB backend for WebAssembly environments, replicating Badger's schema for compatibility. Enhanced the query caching system with optional configuration to improve memory usage efficiency. Improved the policy system with new permissive overrides and clarified read vs write applicability for better flexibility.
Added extensive tests for default-permissive access control, read/write follow whitelists, and privileged-only fields. Updated policy documentation with new configuration examples, access control reference, and logging details.
Replaced inline interface literals with dedicated, documented interface definitions in `pkg/interfaces/`. Introduced `TimeoutError`, `PolicyChecker`, and `Neo4jResultIterator` interfaces to clarify design, improve maintainability, and resolve potential circular dependencies. Updated config and constant usage rules for consistency. Incremented version to v0.31.11.
Replaced individual environment variable access with a unified `DatabaseConfig` struct for all database backends. This centralizes configuration management, reduces redundant code, and ensures all options are documented in `app/config/config.go`. Backward compatibility is maintained with default values and retained constructors.
Introduce tests to validate functionality for new policy fields, including `max_expiry_duration`, `protected_required`, `identifier_regex`, and `follows_whitelist_admins`. Also, cover combinations of new and existing fields to ensure compatibility and precedence rules are correctly enforced.
bump to v0.31.2
- Increase WebSocket message size limit from 500KB to 10MB to prevent
truncation of large kind 3 follow list events (8000+ follows)
- Add validation in SaveEvent to reject kind 3 events without p tags
before storage, preventing malformed events from buggy relays
- Implement CleanupKind3WithoutPTags() to remove existing malformed
kind 3 events at startup
- Add enhanced logging showing tag count and event ID when rejecting
invalid kind 3 events for better observability
- Create round-trip test proving binary tag encoding preserves p tags
correctly through JSON→binary→JSON cycle
- Root cause: 500KB limit was truncating large follow lists during
WebSocket receive, causing tags to be lost or incomplete
- Three-layer defense: prevent at gate (size), validate (save time),
and cleanup (startup)
Files modified:
- app/handle-websocket.go: Increase DefaultMaxMessageSize to 10MB
- pkg/database/save-event.go: Add kind 3 validation with logging
- pkg/database/cleanup-kind3.go: New cleanup function
- pkg/database/cleanup-kind3_test.go: Round-trip test
- app/main.go: Invoke cleanup at startup
- Add 'serve' subcommand for ephemeral RAM-based relay at /dev/shm with
open ACL mode for testing and benchmarking
- Fix e-tag and p-tag decoding to use ValueHex()/ValueBinary() methods
instead of Value() which returns raw bytes for binary-optimized storage
- Document all command-line tools in readme.adoc (relay-tester, benchmark,
stresstest, blossomtest, aggregator, convert, FIND, policytest, etc.)
- Switch Docker images from Alpine to Debian for proper libsecp256k1
Schnorr signature and ECDH support required by Nostr
- Upgrade Docker Go version from 1.21 to 1.25
- Add ramdisk mode (--ramdisk) to benchmark script for eliminating disk
I/O bottlenecks in performance measurements
- Add docker-compose.ramdisk.yml for tmpfs-based benchmark volumes
- Add test coverage for privileged policy with binary-encoded p-tags
- Fix blossom test to expect 200 OK for anonymous uploads when auth is
not required (RequireAuth=false with ACL mode 'none')
- Update follows ACL to handle both binary and hex p-tag formats
- Grant owner access to all users in serve mode via None ACL
- Add benchmark reports from multi-relay comparison run
- Update CLAUDE.md with binary tag handling documentation
- Bump version to v0.30.2
- Introduced CLAUDE.md to provide guidance for working with the Claude Code repository, including project overview, build commands, testing guidelines, and performance considerations.
- Added INDEX.md for a structured overview of the strfry WebSocket implementation analysis, detailing document contents and usage.
- Created SKILL.md for the nostr-websocket skill, covering WebSocket protocol fundamentals, connection management, and performance optimization techniques.
- Included multiple reference documents for Go, C++, and Rust implementations of WebSocket patterns, enhancing the knowledge base for developers.
- Updated deployment and build documentation to reflect new multi-platform capabilities and pure Go build processes.
- Bumped version to reflect the addition of extensive documentation and resources for developers working with Nostr relays and WebSocket connections.
