Re: Updates for B&G websocket
It isn't functionally much different.
I need to replace Microsoft cpprestsdk in Exp due to obsolescence to enable other developments. This first part replaces json and oauth in B&G, aistream, YB Tracking etc.
So no functional changes, but it is faster. Also the default h5000_config.xml has been replaced to comment out rarely used vars. If you just use the default config in Exp, it might be worth updating it.
The next step is to replace the websocket itself.

Re: Updates for B&G websocket
Yes, the cpprest and websocket code was replaced in 12.5.
It is much better now I think. Reconnects are better and it doesn't block the UI while it connects.
