I'm exicted to release Vibe protocol 3.0.0-Alpha4, Vibe JavaScript Client 3.0.0-Alpha4 and Vibe Java Server 3.0.0-Alpha6 after a long time. This release focuses on reorganization of transport.

• Transport is reorganized into ws, stream and longpoll. vibe-protocol#38, vibe-java-server#61, vibe-javascript-client#32
• Socket has no identifier so that related methods are removed. vibe-protocol#39
• Connection sharing feature is dropped. vibe-javascript-client#34
• Socket.close and Sentence.close return void. vibe-java-server#62
• stream transport is fixed in Safari 5 and 6. vibe-javascript-client#35

In next phase, we will focus on making transport public as a layer of the protocol. Then, you will be able to customize existing transports and write your own transports e.g. TCP transport. If you have any feedback, please let us know and we really appreciate them.
