  • v2.9 Changes

    July 25, 2016

    Full Changelog

    ✨ Enhancements:

    • πŸ‘ Multiple ranging and monitoring notifiers are supported via BeaconManger#addRangeNotifier(RangeNotifier notifier) and BeaconManger#addMonitorNotifier(MonitorNotifier notifier) (#392, ost-ct)

  • v2.8.1 Changes

    April 18, 2016

    Full Changelog

    πŸ› Bug Fixes:

    • πŸš€ As of the 2.8 release, scanning would never start on Android 4.x devices unless the application manually added ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml.

  • v2.8 Changes

    • βž• Add string identifier to BeaconParser which can be referenced by decoded Beacon object, allowing easy determination of beacon type. (#333, David G. Young)

  • v2.7.1 Changes
