Ditto version 4.7.0 introduces significant enhancements to its mesh network capabilities, focusing on increased visibility and security through new features like peer metadata and the connection request handler. These updates allow developers to define and synchronize application-specific information about peers, such as roles and states, which enhances the ability to monitor and manage mesh health. The peer metadata API enables real-time data sharing within the mesh, facilitating swift business decision-making by improving insights into device interactions. The connection request handler API grants developers control over new connections, allowing them to reject unauthorized or problematic peers, thereby strengthening network security. With these tools, developers can implement detailed business logic, ensuring that only authorized devices participate in the local mesh. The release aims to empower developers to maintain robust, secure, and efficient mesh networks, enhancing real-time visibility and decision-making capabilities.
