Veltix v1.6.2: Lighter protocol, better architecture, and Rust experiments ahead

Veltix v1.6.2: Lighter, Faster, and a Rust Experiment Coming Hey Dev.to! I'm Nytrox, a self-taught developer and the creator of Veltix, a pure Python TCP networking library with zero dependencies. Today I want to share what's coming in v1.6.2 and where the project is heading. What changed in v1.6.2 Reworked socket abstraction layer The biggest architectural change in this version is a complete rework of BaseSocket and ThreadingSocket . The new BaseSocket is a clean, minimal Protocol that exposes only what matters: bind, connect, send, close, and callbacks. All the threading logic now lives inside ThreadingSocket instead of leaking into Server and Client . This makes the codebase much easier to maintain and paves the way for a selectors-based backend in v1.7.0. Lighter protocol header The message header went from 62 bytes down to 22 bytes. I replaced SHA256 with CRC32 and dropped UUID4 in favor of a 4-byte random ID. On high throughput workloads this makes a real difference. MessageBuff
