v0.8.0

What's new

• Fixed reconnection bug — the #1 user-facing issue. WhatsApp connections that drop and auto-reconnect now work correctly. No more persistent "WhatsApp is reconnecting" errors.
• Smarter error messages — distinguishes between "reconnecting" (< 30s), "connection lost" (> 30s), and "session expired" (needs re-pair).
• Query limit cap — get_messages capped at 500 results to prevent memory issues.
• Faster queries — added SQLite indexes on push_name and media_type.
• Cleaner logs — disconnect events are debounced (no more stderr spam on network blips).

v0.7.1

What's new

• Chat name resolution — get_messages now accepts group/contact names instead of requiring JIDs. Ask Claude for "messages from Family Group" and it just works.
• Tested end-to-end — verified: 16,104 messages synced across 260 chats on fresh pair.

Important

If you installed before v0.7.0, you need to re-pair to get history sync:

rm -f ~/.whasapo/session.db* && whasapo pair
