Version 0.50

[bbernhard]

Features

This release makes the JSON-RPC mode (which was released with signal-cli v0.9.0) available in the signal-cli-rest-api.

For implementation details, discussions and troubleshooting see: #160

Limitations, API changes & Breaking Changes:

• Registering, verifying and linking devices only works in normal/native mode. (there's no support yet in signal-cli)
• In JSON-RPC mode it's no longer possible to poll for incoming messages via the HTTP GET receive endpoint. Instead you have to use websockets. e.g: In order to listen for incoming messages you can use wscat like this: wscat -c 127.0.0.1:8080/v1/receive/<your registered signal number> --show-ping-pong --slash
• The USE_NATIVE env variable in the docker-compose.yml file is now deprecated. You can still use it, but you'll see a deprecation warning in the logs. It is recommended to use the MODE env variable instead. (e.g: MODE=native)
• The AUTO_RECEIVE_SCHEDULE env variable in the docker-compose.yml only works in normal/native mode
• The SIGNAL_CLI_CMD_TIMEOUT env variable in the docker-compose.yml only works in normal/native mode
