Next engine.io release?

Wondering when the next release is, as I'm keen to start using the uws integration that has been merged early last month.

You can actually start using uws integration right now, please read the UWS readme about socket.io.

No reason to rush things ! i would find it a thousand times better if engine.io had an optional dependency on uws by default and kept a dependency on ws, and tried to load the uws module first and fallback to ws.
I think it's a little bit too soon to do that, though. The experience might be disappointing to the conservative user, but seeing how @alexhultman maintains uWebSocket, there is no doubt that in a few uws releases, engine.io should try using uws first in a default install.
Also i find it a little hypocrit to "leave the door open to other ws implementations" - there is little chance we see a lot of well-maintained websocket implementations... yes i mean that my PR #390 wasn't really a good idea.

Thanks for the quick reply! I could see that I could override websocketServer with the uwS one. The only thing that's slightly annoying is that it would create a ws sever first and then I'll override it, but I'll certainly be able to work around that.

I think having an optional dependency makes alot more sense, for those where node-gyp isn't installed having uws not optional would result in a headache for some window users and node-gyp.
