Mar 1, 2026March 2026 highlights for lightning-server: Delivered major improvements to the Notifications subsystem, including a redesigned API with new subscription models, removal of the USER type for generic notifications, enhanced event data representation, and a server-extension-based EventRegistry with helper endpoints. These changes reduce integration complexity, improve scalability, and enable richer notification scenarios for customers. Strengthened quality and reliability via a dedicated notification system testing framework with fixes across the test suite and CI, improving coverage and reducing flaky runs. Usability and reliability gains were also achieved through Default Subscriptions and DSL improvements, adding default frequency/configuration options to non-customizable subscriptions and clarifying ergonomics for the FrequencyCustomizableSubscriptions DSL. Internal service abstractions were updated with a version bump to reflect increased stability and maintainability. Overall impact: faster, more reliable notification capabilities for clients, easier onboarding for new subscription configurations, and a more maintainable codebase.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 performance highlights for lightning-server. Delivered security-focused enhancements and a new notification subsystem that together increase reliability, observability, and business value. Authentication and Access Control refinements stabilized the security posture and improved developer experience through clearer access checks, new auth result types, updated last-auth handling, and a library version bump. A new Notification System with event/notification models and a dispatcher was ported to production, including NonCustomizableSubscriptions and channel-based frequencies, enabling scalable, rule-based alerts. The work was accompanied by targeted refactors and cleanup across the auth codepath for readability and correctness, culminating in a cohesive, maintainable core. Impact: reduced risk of misapplied authorization, improved user notification capabilities, and a stronger foundation for future features.
