News
- Firefox for Amazon's Fire TV is now using the browser-session, feature-session and browser-engine-system components. This simplified the code base by removing ~4000 lines of code (see PR #1044 and PR #982 for details).
- Kudos to the application-services team for various bug fixes in our service-firefox-accounts component (see commits for details).
Changelog
- Compiled against:
* Android * SDK: 27 * Support Libraries: 27.1.1 * Kotlin * Standard library: 1.2.61 * Coroutines: 0.23.4 * GeckoView * Nightly: 64.0.20180905100117 🔺 * Beta: 63.0b3 (0269319281578bff4e01d77a21350bf91ba08620) 🔺 * Release: 62.0 (9cbae12a3fff404ed2c12070ad475424d0ae869f) 🔺
- We now provide aggregated API docs. The docs for this release are hosted at: https://mozilla-mobile.github.io/android-components/api/0.22
- browser-engine-*:
* EngineView now exposes lifecycle methods with default implementations. A LifecycleObserver implementation is provided which forwards events to EngineView instances.
`Kotlin
lifecycle.addObserver(EngineView.LifecycleObserver(view))
`
* Added engine setting for blocking web fonts:
`Kotlin
GeckoEngine(runtime, DefaultSettings(webFontsEnabled = false))
`
* setDesktopMode() was renamed to toggleDesktopMode().
- browser-engine-system: The
X-Requested-Withheader is now cleared (set to an empty String). - browser-session: Desktop mode can be observed now:
`Kotlin
session.register(object : Session.Observer {
fun onDesktopModeChange(enabled: Boolean) {
// ..
}
})
`
- service-fretboard:
* Fretboard now has synchronous methods for adding and clearing overrides: setOverrideNow(), clearOverrideNow, clearAllOverridesNow.
* Access to Experiment.id is now deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in a future release (target: 0.24). The id is an implementation detail of the underlying storage service and was not meant to be exposed to apps.
- ui-tabcounter: Due to a packaging error previous releases of this component didn't contain any compiled code. This is the first usable release of the component.
