Highland v2.8.1 Release Notes

  • 🛠 Bugfix

    • The Readable stream wrapper changes from 2.8.0 assumed that close would never be emitted before end for any stream. This is not the case for Sockets, which will close when the client disconnects but will end only when it has piped all of its data. For a slow consumer, end may happen after close, causing the Highland stream to drop all data after close is emitted.

    This release fixes the regression at the cost of restoring the old behavior of never ending the Stream when only close is emitted. This does not affect the case where error events are emitted without end. That still works fine. To manually end a stream when it emits close, listen to the event and call stream.end(). Fixes #490.
