LlamaBot Rails Gem – v0.1.15 Release Notes (2025‑08‑01)

Overview

This patch release hardens WebSocket connectivity and formalizes version tracking. It requires no breaking changes for existing integrations.

✨ Key Changes

1. Robust WebSocket Scheme Normalization

   • ChatChannel now intelligently infers the correct scheme:

     • Keeps ws:// or wss:// if already correct.
     • Converts https:// → wss:// and http:// → ws://.
     • Defaults to ws:// in development and wss:// elsewhere when the URL is missing or unrecognized.

   • Ensures secure connections in production by default and prevents common misconfiguration errors when passing URLs from env vars or user input.

2. Environment Variable Support

   • Added note to dev logs to surface a dedicated .env entry for overriding the default WebSocket scheme when needed.

3. Version Bump

   • VERSION constant updated from 0.1.14 to 0.1.15.

🔒 Why It Matters

• Security – Guarantees encrypted wss:// connections in production, eliminating accidental plaintext traffic.
• Reliability – Accepts a wider range of URL formats, reducing deployment friction and “invalid URI scheme” errors.
• Developer Experience – Zero‑config behavior in dev (ws://) and prod (wss://) means fewer environment‑specific conditionals and quicker onboarding.

🛠 Upgrade Guide

bundle update llama_bot_rails

No other changes required. Verify that any environment variables supplying WebSocket endpoints include a valid host; the gem now handles the scheme for you.
