Summary

Ably has introduced a new feature called Message Delta Compression that reduces the bandwidth required for transmitting realtime messages by sending only the changes from the previous message instead of the entire message. This feature is now available in Client Library SDKs v1.2, including JavaScript, Java, Cocoa, and .NET versions. By using this technique, developers can optimize their applications' performance while reducing costs associated with bandwidth usage.
