Release Date: 2016-03-28 // about 8 years ago

  • Full Changelog

    ✨ Enhancements:

    • Retains monitored regions across service restarts, preventing apps from getting multiple region entry callbacks each time the service restarts. (#315, Mateusz Sarzyński)
    • ➕ Add string identifier to BeaconParser which can be referenced by decoded Beacon object, allowing easy determination of beacon type. (#333, David G. Young)
    • Switch to using ELAPSED_REALTIME clocks, so scanning doesn't stop on devices without a battery-backed RTC (#339, Luca Niccoli)
    • ➕ Add ability to access raw EDDYSTONE_TLM data for sending info to Google services. (#328, David G. Young)
    • 🆕 New distance formula for Moto X Pro (#330, David G. Young)
    • Adjust the BackgroundPowerSaver so it accepts any context (#355, Kristof Snyers)
    • ➕ Add support for pre-Eddystone UriBeacon layout (#358, David G. Young)

    🐛 Bug Fixes:

    • Multiple consumers of the BeaconService will now each get a onBeaconServiceConnected() callback. (#340, Mateusz Sarzyński)
    • Don't scan for bluetooth devices if permission has not been granted in Android 6. This prevents large number of exceptions in the log. (#327, Alex Urzhumtcev)
    • 🛠 Fix crash on beacon parsing comparison overrun (#324, David G. Young)
