Project activity hits about 3,500 pull requests and 3,200 commits year to date with roughly 250 new contributors, and tests run across 55 OS/arch combos achieving 95% JavaScript test coverage and 91% C++ coverage. Core ships HTTP/2 with a demo of WebSockets over HTTP/2 multiplexing 5 simultaneous WebSockets alongside regular HTTP and yielding ~10x latency improvements in benchmarks.
