Changelog

[4.11.0] - 2020-11-04

Added

  • Resolves #3281. Added documentation on speech permissions for Cordova apps on Android, by @corinagum, in PR #3508
  • Resolves #3316. Refactored platform-neutral APIs into the new api package, to be reused on React Native component, in PR #3543 by @compulim
    • The new layering is core -> api -> component (HTML-only) -> bundle
    • Includes composition mode, platform-neutral React hooks, and localization resources
    • Most hooks are available in the new api package. Some hooks are only available on the existing component package, due to their platform dependency or coupling with visual components. For example, Web Worker, 2D canvas, useMicrophoneButton* are not available on the api package
    • Most implementations of middleware are only available in component package due to their coupling with visual components or platform features. Some implementations, (e.g. card action middleware and activity grouping middleware) are available on api package. For example:
      • Carousel layout and stacked layout is only available on component package due to their coupling with their respective visual components
      • For card action middleware, imBack, messageBack and postBack actions are available on api package, but call, openUrl and other platform-dependent actions are only available on component package
    • activityMiddleware, attachmentMiddleware, etc, now support arrays for multiple middleware

[4.10.0] - 2020-08-18

Breaking changes

  • Due to the complexity, we are no longer exposing <CarouselLayout> and <StackedLayout>. Please use <BasicTranscript> to render the transcript instead.
  • With the new activity grouping feature:
    • Customized avatar cannot be wider than styleOptions.avatarSize. If you want to show a wider avatar, please increase styleOptions.avatarSize.
    • If customized avatar is rendering false, bubble will still be padded to leave a gutter for the empty customized avatar. To hide gutter, please set styleOptions.botAvatarInitials and styleOptions.userAvatarInitials to falsy.
  • Default bubble nub offset is set to 0, previously "bottom" (or -0)
    • Previously, we put the bubble nub at the bottom while keeping the avatar on top. This is not consistent in the new layout.
  • By default, we will group avatar per status group.
    • If you want to switch back to previous behaviors, please set styleOptions.showAvatarInGroup to true.
  • Default botAvatarInitials and userAvatarInitials is changed to undefined, from "" (empty string)
    • When the initials is undefined, no gutter space will be reserved for the avatar.
    • When the initials is "" (empty string), gutter space will be reserved, but not avatar will be shown.

Changelog

Breaking changes

  • Localization
    • locale prop: zh-YUE has been renamed to yue to conform with Unicode standard. zh-YUE will continue to work with warnings
    • Most strings have been validated and retranslated by the Microsoft localization team, with the exception of English (US), Egyptian Arabic, Jordan Arabic, and Chinese Yue
      • If the new strings are undesirable, please use the overideLocalizedStrings prop for customization
      • String IDs have been refreshed and now use a standard format
    • useLocalize and useLocalizeDate is deprecated. Please use useLocalizer and useDateFormatter instead
  • Customizable typing indicator: data and hook related to typing indicator are being revamped in PR #2912
    • lastTypingAt reducer is deprecated, use typing instead. The newer reducer contains typing indicator from the user
    • useLastTypingAt() hook is deprecated, use useActiveTyping(duration?: number) instead. For all typing information, pass Infinity to duration argument
  • Customizable activity status: new nextVisibleActivity to control activity status visibility
    • Previously, we use timestampClassName to control if the activity should show or hide timestamp. The timestampClassName was added as a class attribute the DOM element which contains the timestamp
    • Today, activity and nextVisibleActivity are passed to the middleware, so the activityRendererMiddleware can decide whether the timestamp should be shown or not. For example, developers can group timestamp based on activity type
