Kingfisher v7.0.0-beta.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-07-27 // over 2 years ago

  • ➕ Add

    • 👍 Rewrite SwiftUI support based on @StateObject instead of the old @ObservedObject. It provides a stable and better data model backs the image rendering in SwiftUI. For this, Kingfisher SwiftUI supports from iOS 14 now. #1707
    • Mark ImageCache.retrieveImageInMemoryCache(forKey:options:) as open to expose a correct override entry point to outside. #1703
    • The NSTextAttachment extension method now accepts closure instead of a evaluated view. This allows delaying the passing in view to the timing which actually it is needed. #1746
    • A KFAnimatedImage type to display a GIF image in SwiftUI. #1705
    • ➕ Add a progress parameter to the KFImage's placeholder closure. This allows you create a view based on the loading progress. #1707

    🛠 Fix

    • 👉 Uses UIGraphicsImageRenderer on iOS and tvOS for better image drawing. #1706
    • An issue that prevents Kingfisher compiling on mac Catalyst target in some certain of Xcode versions. #1692
    • The KF.retry(:_) method now accepts an optional value. It allows to reset the retry strategy by passing in a nil value. #1729
    • 🏗 The placeholder view builder of KFImage now works when it gets changed instead of using its initial value forever. #1707
    • 🐎 Some minor performance improvement. #1739

    ✂ Remove

    • ⬇️ Drop support for iOS 10, macOS 10.13, tvOS 10 and watch OS 3.
    • ↪ The workaround of KFImage.loadImmediately is not necessary anymore due to the model switching to @StateObject. The interface is kept for backward compatibility, but it does nothing in the new version. #1707
