Why

Major release. 2.0.0 replaces the ably.io package with Ably.PubSub.Device and Ably.PubSub.Server, both built on Ably.PubSub.Core, so every client is classified as device-side or server-side. The release also:

  • moves the root namespace to Ably.PubSub;
  • renames AblyRealtime to PubSubRealtimeClient and AblyRest to PubSubHttpClient;
  • removes the APIs deprecated in 1.x;
  • replaces Environment, RestHost and RealtimeHost with Endpoint;
  • adds message updates, deletes, appends and annotations.

See the changelog entry and UPDATING.md for details.

What's in this branch

  • One commit that adds the 2.0.0 entry to CHANGELOG.md. Nothing else changes.
  • The entry follows the style of the ably-js 3.0.0 changelog: what users get comes first, then short sections. It points to UPDATING.md for migration details.
  • The entry keeps every fact from the earlier draft. Anything shortened in the changelog is covered in UPDATING.md or the README.
  • The release date in the heading is (TBD). Fill it in when the release is cut.

The version and packaging changes are already on integration/v2:

  • src/CommonAssemblyInfo.cs and unity/Assets/Ably/version.txt are at 2.0.0.
  • The three nuspecs take their version from the Cake --version argument.
  • The Unity plugin is unity/Assets/Ably/Plugins/Ably.PubSub.Device.dll.

This PR targets integration/v2, and its change reaches main when integration/v2 is merged (#1340).

Still needed before release

  • Regenerate the Unity plugin. The committed Ably.PubSub.Device.dll predates recent fixes; for example, it doesn't have the _restChannel field added in Keep realtime retrieval from changing the options of HTTP channels #1376. Run ./unity-plugins-updater.sh 2.0.0 on a machine with Mono or Windows and commit the result.
  • Reviewers: the SDK Team Engineering Lead and the SDK Team Product Manager, as the release process in CONTRIBUTING.md requires.

Release steps after the merge to main

From CONTRIBUTING.md:

  1. Run the Package ably workflow on main with version 2.0.0. Download the output-package artifact, which contains Ably.PubSub.Core.2.0.0.nupkg, Ably.PubSub.Device.2.0.0.nupkg, Ably.PubSub.Server.2.0.0.nupkg and ably.pubsub.2.0.0.unitypackage.
  2. Push Ably.PubSub.Core to nuget.org first. Once it is listed, push Ably.PubSub.Device and then Ably.PubSub.Server. Device and Server pin the core at exactly [2.0.0], so don't push with a wildcard.
  3. Tag the main head as 2.0.0 and push the tag.
  4. Create the GitHub release with a link to the changelog entry, and attach ably.pubsub.2.0.0.unitypackage.
  5. Add the release to the Ably Changelog (https://changelog.ably.com/).

Set the 2.0.0 release date before publishing.

Replace (TBD) with the actual release date in the release commit. The changelog states that 1.x receives security and critical fixes for one year from the 2.0.0 release, so the date must identify when that period starts.
