Bugsnag v4.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-08-15 // over 6 years ago

  • 🚀 This is a major release which adds a number of new features to the library. The minimum SDK version supported by Bugsnag is now API 14.

    💥 Breaking Changes

    Identifying devices and users (unless overridden) is now captured and persisted through a per-install generated UUID, replacing use of 👀 Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID. As a result, existing errors may see doubled user ⬆️ counts if they continue to happen. If this is an issue, see the [upgrade ⬆️ guide](UPGRADING.md#upgrade-from-3x-to-4x) ↪ for more information and a workaround.

    • 👌 Support loading different API keys for different product flavors, through manifest placeholders

    • 👌 Support custom HTTP Error Reporting clients, by allowing custom implementations of ErrorReportApiClient

    • ➕ Add nullability annotations throughout application
