Version 2.16.0 of the JS Client Library has been released. This release introduces a redesigned LiveObjects API centered around path-based operations. The new PathObject abstraction provides a more intuitive interaction model where operations resolve at runtime against the current value at a path, rather than being bound to specific object instances.

We are excited to announce a new integration for text moderation in Ably Chat. The Azure Content Safety integration leverages powerful AI models to handle inappropriate content before it's published to other users. With it, you can customise what categories are unacceptable, and to what degree of severity, in your chat rooms. For more information, check out the moderation docs. To get started for free and set up the integrations, log in to your Ably dashboard.

For approximately the last year, due to a misconfiguration that affected a subset of accounts, app and account stats for history queries have been undercounted. Specifically, if a user of one of the affected accounts made a single history query that returned 10 messages, the messages.outbound.rest.all.count stat should have been incremented by 10; instead it was incremented by only 1. (The corresponding data stat was not affected). Since billing is calculated from account stats, the affected accounts may also have been billed less than they should have been.
