What

Heartbeats now include how many seconds the session has been idle, and the field advertising probe support was renamed to supports_heartbeat_probe.

Details
  • After reconnecting, if the last good heartbeat is older than 1.5 times the current interval and no rate-limit response was seen recently, one extra beat is sent and reported as cli_heartbeat_reconnect_stale_beat.
Evidence

cli_heartbeat_reconnect_stale_beat

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
