Fresco v2.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-07-03 // almost 5 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Breaking Dependency Change

    ๐Ÿ‘ We bumped the major version since Fresco is now using AndroidX support libraries.
    ๐Ÿ‘ If you are still using the previous support library, please use version 1.14.2 until you've migrated to AndroidX.

    ๐Ÿ†• New Flipper Images Plugin

    ๐Ÿ“š We've open sourced our Flipper images plugin, which makes it easy for you to debug images within your application. Take a look at the Flipper documentation here: https://fbflipper.com/docs/features/images-plugin.html
    It also allows you to track unclosed CloseableReferences if you're using the image pipeline directly.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixes and Improvements

    Highlights:

    • โž• Added explicit color management (51efaa7). See #2323 for more information.
    • โž• Added API to get the size of the disk cache.
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix scaling up image with RoundingParams.
    • Prevent Fresco from crashing for certain invalid GIFs.
    • โž• Added local content URI support for fetching encoded images.
    • โž• Added CloseableReference leak tracking. You can hook up your own listener to track unclosed references.
    • Video thumbnails: generate video thumbnail from content provider when we cannot get file path.
    • โšก๏ธ Updated the Showcase sample app to enable the Flipper images plugin and started using Kotlin.
    • Display Image URI in Fresco's debug overlay.
    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improved image origin listener accuracy.
    • โž• Added caller context verification to the ImagePipeline. You can now check whether proper image attribution (caller context) is set.
