v0.5

v0.5 — Initial Release

Welcome to the first public release of Notiway! This version establishes the foundation for a lightweight, cloud-agnostic notification gateway built on SignalR.

Core Gateway

• Real-time notifications via WebSocket connections powered by SignalR
• Flexible routing — deliver to individual users, entire tenants, or broadcast to all connected clients
• Multitenancy — built-in tenant isolation with configurable validation strategies
• Notification persistence — store notifications for offline users with configurable TTL
• Connection management — automatic tracking of connected clients with reconnection support
• Stateless architecture — horizontal scaling with no shared state between gateway instances
• Testing mode — built-in HTTP test endpoint for quick prototyping without a message broker
