 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.4
+
+Idle pages send less. A visible page with no key, pointer, touch or gamepad input for 1 min asks the hub for a quarter of the update frames (nothing is lost, changes are merged into each frame); the first input brings the full rate back. In a 4-player test room the idle reader's download fell from 4.4 to 1.2 KB/s. Hidden pages already got no frames.
+
 ## 0.1.3
 
 Flood limits. New sockets per client address (`connectsPerAddress`, 40 per 10 s) are checked before the server-wide accept budget, so one client can no longer spend it for everyone; IPv6 addresses count by their /64 (`addressKey`) for every per-address limit. `hardenServer(server)` in `tickcli-js/node` (used by `createGameServer` and `createRemoteServer`): request headers within 10 s, whole request 15 s, idle keep-alive 5 s, 100 headers. Remote: a deployment is looked up at most once per 15 s per id, found or not (`remote.forget(id)` drops one after an edit), fresh lookups are capped per address, and an upgrade over the address budget is refused before any lookup. `ws` 8.23.0 or later (GHSA-37g9-w4hg-h9qr, ping flood).
