v0.7.4

This is a small release that adds a ProGuard configuration to the Android module to fix crashes when using the API with ProGuard enabled.

Changelog

🔥 Crash fixes

• Add proguard configuration to android module #103, by @nielsvanvelzen

🔧 Build changes

• Fix GitHub release assets again #91, by @nielsvanvelzen

v0.7.3

v0.7.1

Unfortunately our previous release did not go as expected. Some major issues caused the Android library to cause crashes because of some missing classes. And nothing was published to Bintray because of a misconfiguration. This release fixes both of these issues.

🔧 Build changes

• Fix Java files not being included in the Android build #84, by @nielsvanvelzen
• Fix incorrect Bintray repository URL #85, by @nielsvanvelzen

v0.7.0

This release was not published to Bintray due too a failure in packaging the Android library and in the publishing configuration. A new version was released to fix this issue.

---

A few months ago we made the decision to drastically change the apiclient to be more robust and future proof. To achieve this goal the primary language of the code changed from Java to Kotlin and a bunch of features were removed because they were badly implemented or did not fit in the library. Some of those features might come back in the future based on our needs in the Android apps and feedback we receive from our users.

Our plan is to release the next version with a brand new HTTP API. This new API will be automatically adapt to the OpenAPI specification that Jellyfin 10.7.0 and up will generate. The code will change a lot: functions will use camel case instead of pascal case, the package will change, callback are replaced with coroutines and much more. Because of these drastic changes we decided to release version 0.7.0 (this one!) first to make it easier to migration applications. Allowing developers to upgrade the apiclient in two separate steps.

💜 Highlights

• The library is now published on Bintray making it easier to install
• New Jellyfin class that helps using all library features
  • The README samples use this class
• Removed the credential manager
  • The implementation was bad and it made the code unmaintainable
  • Applications should store their credentials themselves
• Rewritten server discovery
  • It now uses Kotlin coroutines and works on the JVM (previously Android only)
• Added the "Kotlin Console Example", a command line interface for Jellyfin
  • See the README for more information
