---

Programmable Chat iOS 4.0.0 (July 20, 2020)

[tar] [docs]

Breaking changes:

• Renamed TCHMessage accessor: timestamp → dateCreated; timestampAsDate → dateCreatedAsDate.
• Asynchronous [TCHMembers membersWithCompletion] transformed to synchronous [TCHMembers membersList].
• Added TCHMemberUpdateLastConsumptionTimestamp.
  • This as a result also changed value of TCHMemberUpdateAttributes. (potentially silently breaking change if this value was serialized)
• Changed TWSMap/TWSList queryItemsWithOptions to return error in completion if pageSize is 0.
• Changed [TCHChannel getUnconsumedMessagesCountWithCompletion] to return nil instead of 0 if message consumption horizon was not set.
  • Completion now uses NSNumber* (nullable object type), instead of NSUInteger to accommodate this change.
• Changed [TCHMessages setNoMessagesConsumedWithCompletion] to use nullable NSNumber*, it will always return nil (because it resets the consumption horizon).

Changes:

• Added [TCHMessage getMediaContentTemporaryUrlWithCompletion] to get a temporary direct link to Media content.
  • To download Media by direct URL, use native iOS API, such as [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL()].
  • Deprecated [TCHMessage getMediaWithOutputStream:...]. Use above API instead.

Programmable Chat iOS 3.0.0 (March 6, 2020)

[tar] [docs]

Breaking changes:

• Dropped iOS v9, v10 support. Minimum iOS version now is 11.0
• Added type-safe interface TCHJsonAttributes for Attributes (TCHChannel, TCHMessage, TCHMember, TCHUser). Now it supports not only Json Object, which was translated to NSDictionary, but also NSArray, NSString, NSNumber, NSNull.

Changes:

• Fixed a bug when channel attributes are empty when chatClient:channelAdded: called.
• Fixed an issue when sometimes connecting events don’t arrive.
• Fixed incorrect behaviour when user identity contained some special symbols.
• New type of error TCHClientConnectionStateFatalError could appear in some cases. This error means chat is in a terminal state, and needs to re-create the client.
