socket.io
summary
An actual roadmap for socket.io: a new protocol spec and alpha release that adds clustering without custom dispatchers by supporting external stores, defaults to memory but converts many APIs to async callbacks, and enables volatile flag message dropping, a json flag, built‑in acknowledgements and custom events so messages can return data. Namespaces multiplex over one TCP connection, Express session integration and Selenium/Sauce Labs cloud tests are planned, and a slimmer Flash fallback is underway.
