1.1.0 - 2024-12-01

Fixed

• Anonymous user ID now persists for the app session instead of regenerating on every access

Improved

• Reconnection now uses exponential backoff (2s → 4s → 8s → 16s → 30s max) instead of fixed 2s delay
• WebSocket connection now includes 30-second ping interval for detecting stale connections
• HTTP history loading now uses http package consistently (fixes potential resource leak)
