Contributions summary:Erick implemented a websocket ping feature to maintain idle connections, setting a default idle time of 15 seconds. They also performed cleanup of streaming classes, addressing inspection errors across multiple files within the xchange-stream-kraken, xchange-stream-service-netty, xchange-stream-gemini, xchange-stream-lgo, and xchange-stream-kraken/dto/enums directories.
