sails: socket.io.js - Failed to parse incoming socket.io request

Just tried to upgrade to sails 0.11. I followed the migration guide and used:

sails generate sails.io.js --force

But after running my project I get the following error on server:

Error (SAILS:HOOK:SOCKETS:PARSE_VIRTUAL_REQ):: Failed to parse incoming socket.io request
...
details: 'Sails v0.11.x is not compatible with the socket.io/sails.io.js client SDK version you are using (0.9.0). Please see the v0.11 migration guide on http://sailsjs.org for more information.'

I think it is something with minification of socket.io.js, because if I copy&paste actual version of socket.io.js in sails.io.js instead of minified code it’s working.

The problem is present on Mac Chrome or Safari but Firefox is ok.

Ok i found the issue. For some reason the version is not available in the SDK META DATA information. In the file node_modules\sails\node_modules\sails-hook-sockets\lib\parse-sdk-metadata.js there is a code which checks if version is not available in the meta data then assume the version is 0.9.0

if (!handshake.query[SDK_META_PARAMS.version]) {
    handshake.query[SDK_META_PARAMS.version] = '0.9.0';
  }

So i changed 0.9.0 to 0.11.0 and voila! things are working.
