The Wiki for more details

Initialization

• The init method no longer requires breaking up an endpoint. init(domainAndPort:, path:, transport:, prot:, params) as been removed in favor of init(url:, params:) where url:can be a String or a URL and params is an optional[String:Any]`
• The socket no longer opens automatically upon initialization. You must call .open() in order to open the socket connection to the endpoint. .open() can be called before or after channels are joined

Channels

• the .join() method signature has changed. It now accepts an optional Payload parameters to send when joining a channel.
• The closure passed to the socket when joining a channel now returns a Channel instead of Any so you no longer need to force cast let channel = channel as! Channel
• Listening to an event on a channel has changes slightly. The handler now returns the payload of a phoenix message so you can access values as such:

let status = payload["status"]
print(status) // "ok"

Sending Messages

You can now send a message through the socket or to a topic through a channel. You can receive events on a successful or failed send. See the wiki for more details

Removed

• The Message object has been removed and replaced with Payload which is just a typealias of [String:Any
