Version 0.6.0

Changes

Since version 0.5.0

Fixes

• Fix crash when trying to create ViewModels with zero constructor arguments
• Fix crash when requesting activityViewModel from a fragment.
• Add consumer proguard rules to vector module
• Fix improper ViewModel instantiation when factory does not implement create method
• withState actions are now treated as side-effects
• Make Kotlin, Fragment, ViewModel SavedState and Coroutines libraries part
  of the public API in Gradle

New Features

• New Documentation website covering components of this library, as well as real world usage scenarios.
• A brand new StateProcessor built using the select expression
• Add a new simple sample app to the repository

Version 0.5.0

A lot of new features in this release, including automatic ViewModel creation, support for assisted inject factories, and more.

New:

• Add new viewmodel delegates for Fragments and Activities for automatic viewmodel
  creation.
• Better support for libraries such as AssistedInject, because of overloaded versions of
  viewmodel delegates which accept a factory lambda for the viewmodel.
• Easier state persistence in SavedStateVectorViewModel, using the new KEY_SAVED_STATE
  for storing state objects in the saved state handle and a new setStateAndPersist method.
• Migrate Sample app to use Dagger and AssistedInject

Other:

• Deprecate setInitialState method
• Reflection benchmarks in the benchmark module

The library is stuck on androidx.lifecycle v2.2.0-alpha04 for now because of a SavedStateController bug in version 2.2.0-alpha05.

There is a ton of new stuff in this release. Please file issues if you have a bug report or a feature request.

Version 0.4.0

Features:

• Add SavedStateVectorViewModel which has access to SavedStateHandle to easily persist state
• Change LiveData based state observable from VectorViewModel to a Kotlin Flow based observable
• Updated sample app with support for editing entities

Fixes:

• Remove unused Fragment dependency from vector module

Deprecations:

• Deprecate renderState() method in VectorFragment in favour or a parameterized implementation

Version 0.3.0

New:

• Internal refactoring of StateStore into sub-components
• Target Android Q
• Update to Coroutines 1.3.0-RC

Version 0.2.0

Features

• Add logging feature. StateStore and ViewModel now log state changes if
  logging is enabled
• Update Kotlin to 1.3.40

Fixes

• Fix CoroutineScope in Application class of Sample app
• Update Android Gradle Plugin and sample app dependencies

Version 0.1

New features:

• StateStore is now built using Coroutine Actors, performance is much improved.
• setState and withState in VectorViewModel are no longer suspend functions, so they can be called outside a coroutine scope as well.

Fixes:

• Fix implementation of CoroutineScope in VectorFragment

Misc:

• Sample app now handles state persistence in the AddEntityFragment
