60
+
61
+ ## [1.1.1] - 2024-01-XX
62
+
63

65
+ - **FIXED**: Removed module system conflicts (CommonJS/ESM) that caused require() errors
66
+ - **FIXED**: Eliminated WebSocket dependency resolution issues
67
+ - **FIXED**: Removed complex Rollup/TypeScript build system causing distribution problems
68
+ - **FIXED**: Context-dependent behavior that made package work from CLI but fail in scripts
69
+
70
+ ### Changed
71
+ - **BREAKING**: Now uses TCP sockets instead of WebSockets for Python server communication
72
+ - **ARCHITECTURE**: Simplified to pure CommonJS module (removed ESM complexity)
73
+ - **BUILD**: Removed Rollup, TypeScript, and complex build pipeline
74
+ - **DEPENDENCIES**: Removed all external dependencies - now uses only Node.js built-ins

+ - **PACKAGE**: Simplified structure with direct `index.js` entry point
76
+
77
+ ### Added
78
+ - Full TCP message framing with proper buffering for reliable communication
79
+ - Automatic reconnection with configurable attempts and delays
80
+ - Heartbeat system for connection health monitoring
81
+ - Express.js middleware integration helper
82
+ - Comprehensive error handling and logging
83
+ - Server-Sent Events example for real-time browser updates
84
+
85
+ ### Technical Details
86
+ - Uses `net` module for raw TCP socket communication (matches Python server protocol)
87
+ - Implements 4-byte length headers for proper message framing
88
+ - Fixed message field names to match Python server (`message_id` vs `messageId`)
89
+ - Added connection pooling support for high-throughput applications
90
+ - Improved memory management with proper buffer cleanup
91
+
92
+ ### Migration from 1.1.0
93
+ The v1.1.0 package was fundamentally broken. v1.1.1 is a complete rewrite:
94
+
95
+ ```javascript
96
+ // OLD (v1.1.0) - BROKEN
97
+ const { IPCClient } = require('@ifesol/ipc-framework-nodejs'); // Failed to load
98
+
99
+ // NEW (v1.1.1) - WORKING
100
+ const { IPCClient } = require('@ifesol/ipc-framework-nodejs'); // ✅ Works correctly
101
+ const client = new IPCClient('my-app');
102
+ await client.connect(); // ✅ TCP connection to Python server
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ ## [1.1.0] - 2024-01-XX
106
+
107
+ ### Fixed (Python Package Only)
108
+ - **CRITICAL**: Fixed missing `create_response()` method in Message class
109
+ - **CRITICAL**: Fixed socket timeout deadlock in client after successful handshake
110
+ - **CRITICAL**: Fixed threading deadlock in receive operations causing eternal hangs
111
+ - **PERFORMANCE**: Optimized message handling and reduced memory usage
112
+ - **STABILITY**: Improved error handling and connection resilience
113
+
114

86
+ app = server.create_application("my_app", "My Application")
87
+ api_channel = app.create_channel("api")
88
+
89
+ # Handle requests from Node.js clients
90
+ def handle_request(message):
91
+ action = message.payload.get('action')
92
+
93
+ if action == 'get_data':
94
+ response = message.create_response({
95
+ 'success': True,
96
+ 'data': {'timestamp': time.time(), 'message': 'Hello from Python!'},
97
+ 'server': 'Python IPC Framework'
98
