Update socket.io dependency

[pensierinmusica]

Hi,

This package is currently using socket.io v1.4.5, is it possible to update to v1.7.3?

Btw, @mattstyles is this project still active?

Now socket IO is at 2.0.1

Will this break anything?

What is the status of breaking changes for v2 of socket.io?

If its fairly trivial to jump straight to v2 then that should happen, otherwise jumping to 1.7.3 immediately and going to v2 later is fine. There are a few things that I'd like to tidy up so maybe doing 1.7.3 immediately and v2 later would be the best course of action.

Thoughts?
