Upcoming

🔄 Changed

2.6.4

February 19, 2021

🔄 Changed

• opened up many functions in ChatViewController #827

🐞 Fixed

• ChatViewController title and avatar is wrong when it's pushed with an unsynced ChannelPresenter #828

2.6.3

January 15, 2021

✅ Added

• Message.channel to access the channel from a message. PS: Due to a temporary backend issue, it's possible that Message.channel.config will not be accurate when using the search functionality. This should be fixed soon. #650

🐞 Fixed

December 31, 2020

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed thread's parent message not receiving updates #656

✅ Added

• notificationChannelDeleted to be received when a channel is deleted while not being watched #608

2.2.0

May 08, 2020

✅ Added

• avatarViewStyle under ChatViewStyle for customizing Navigation Right Bar Button Item avatar #241.
• logAssert(_:_:) and logAssertionFailure(_:) functions added to ClientLogger #231.
• Support built-in WebSockets protocol in iOS 13+ using URLSessionWebSocketTask #240.
• queryChannels now returns unread count of each channel, unrestricted by number of messages fetched #247: Example:

  Client.shared.queryChannels(filter: .currentUserInMembers, sort: [Sorting("has_unread", isAscending: false)]) { (result) in
      for response in result.value! {
          print("Channel \(response.channel.name ?? "nil"), unread messages count: \(response.channel.unreadCount.messages)")
      }
  }

🔄 Changed

• Configuring the shared Client using the static Client.config variable has been deprecated. Please create an instance of the Client.Config struct and call Client.configureShared(_:) to set up the shared instance of Client #231.

  // Deprecated:
  Client.config = .init(apiKey: apiKey, logOptions: .info)
  
  // Preferred:
  var config = Client.Config(apiKey: apiKey)
  config.logOptions = .info
  Client.configureShared(config)

  Reasoning: In the original implementation, when Client.shared was accessed for the first time, its initializer used the current value of Client.config. In more complex situations, this approach could cause hard-to-debug race-condition bugs when Client.shared was initialized before its configuration was fully finished. The newly introduced Client.configureShared(_:) function makes the client configuration explicit.

• Client.shared triggers assertion failure when used without configuring #231.

• Client.Config triggers assertion failure when created with an empty API key value #231.

• Assigning an empty string to Client.apiKey triggers assertion failure #231.

• Deprecated 2 public initializers from UploadingItem #239:

  public init(attachment:previewImage:previewImageGifData:)

  and

  public init(attachment:fileName:)

  since they were unused. Please use init(channel:url:) initializer.

• Atomic.get(default: T) -> T function was deprecated for non-optional T #241

• Atomic.get() no longer returns an optional type if the wrapped type itself is not optional #241

• Atomic.init(_:) requires the initial value for non-optional T #241

• Atomic.DidSetCallback signature changed from (_ value: T?, _ oldValue: T?) -> Void to (_ value: T, _ oldValue: T) -> Void #241

🐞 Fixed

              fileName: String,

2.0.0

April 2, 2020

StreamChat 2.0 here and it's brand new ✨ 🚀

We've added/removed/fixed/changed a lot of stuff, so it's fair to say that StreamChat 2.0 is everything you've liked about 1.x and nothing you didn't like about it 😄

Most importantly:

• We have a brand new framework: StreamChatClient, that you can use to easily integrate StreamChat into your app without any Presenter or UI logic we have in StreamChatCore and StreamChat libraries.
  • StreamChatClient has minimal dependencies and it's very low level.
  • No Reactive dependencies! Everything is handled in good old callbacks.
  • No reactive makes you sad? StreamChatCore still has all the reactive functionality you'd expect, so you can keep using RxSwift if you want!
• We've updated our dependencies, and removed some.

Aside from those, we fixed tons of bugs and polished our API. Now it should be more Swifty 🎉

We're working hard on migration guide for our 1.x users and will publish it shortly. You can check out updated docs here
