  • Fixing Configuration fetched handler HasChanges

2021-02-03: V5.0.1

  • Fixing RegEx Match condition, and empty string values

2021-01-05: V5.0.0

Breaking changes:

  • Variant changed to RoxString

    • New Variant("defaultStr", new String[] {"str1", "str2"}) ⇒ new RoxString("defaultStr", new String[] {"str1", "str2"})

  • Functions input validations

    • Some trivial parameters (mostly type) validations were added to dynamicApi and flags constructions. For example: new RoxString(null) will raise an ArgumentException as default cannot be null (default value of RoxString should be a string). Rox.dynamicApi.value(null, 'defaultStr', ['str2', 'str3']) will raise an ArgumentException because of null flag name (name should always be a string)

Fixes and Additions:

  • Can use register without a namespace:

    • register(container) will register the container under an empty string namespace (multiple register calls with the same namespaces are still not allowed!)

  • Added a User Space Error handling

    • It is recommended to wrap all handlers used in Rox platform (all Rox.SetCustom<…​>Property, RoxOptions.ImpressionHandler, RoxOptions.ConfigurationFetchedHandler, RoxOptions.DynamicPropertiesRule) with try-catch in order to be in the right context. In case there will be an uncaught error, it will reach the Rox.SetUserspaceUnhandledErrorHandler handler. You can use this handler for debugging, or for further error handling. An Error thrown within this handler will be written to log. If no SetUserspaceUnhandledErrorHandler was set, errors will be written to the log.

  • Analytics / impressions

    • Starting with SDK 5, flags will always send impressions after setup (not only when targeting is enabled on the dashboard)

  • Impression handler parameters change

    • As experiments were removed, impressions handler signature was changed from (reportingValue, experiment, context) to (reportingValue, context). reportingValue now also has a Targeting (boolean) property, indicating the flag was evaluated by using the dashboard configurations.

  • New Flag Types Int/Double

    • In addition to RoxFlag and RoxString, we also added RoxInt and RoxDouble

    • DynamicApi was also updated with matching GetInt and GetDouble methods

  • Added a graceful Rox.Shutdown

    • In order to clean all background Tasks
