Change Log

7.4.0 - Summer Ends (2022-10-05)

Add

A data property in RetrieveImageResult for reading the original data when an image loading is done. #1986
An async data getter in ImageDataProvider. More async methods are on the way. #1989

Fix

A workaround for some cases the KFImage does not load images when embedded in the SwiftUI List on iOS 16. This only alleviates the problem when shallow embedded. For deeper nested, waiting for Apple's fix. #1988 FB11564208

7.3.2 - Align Layout (2022-08-10)

Fix

A regression introduced by the previous version, which changed the default layout behavior when setting a placeholder. Now the KFImage should have the same layout behavior as SwiftUI's AsyncImage while loading. if no placeholder is set, it takes all the proposed size while loading. If a placeholder is set, it propose size to the placeholder and follow placeholder's layout. #1975

7.3.1 - Empty Not Void (2022-07-31)

Fix

An issue that EmptyView as KFImage placeholder fails loading of the image. #1973 [@damian-rzeszot]

7.3.0 - Progressive Progress (2022-07-06)

Add

Added ImageProgressive now contains a delegate onImageUpdated which will notify you everytime the progressive scanner can decode an intermediate image. You also have a chance to choose an image update strategy to respond the delegate. #1957 @jyounus
Now the progressive option can work with KingfisherManager. Previously it only works when set in the view extension methods under kf. #1961 @onevcat

Fix

A potential crash in AnimatedImageView that releasing on another thread. #1956 @ufosky
A few internal clean up and removal of unused code. #1958 @idrougge

Remove

With the support of ImageProgressive.onImageUpdated, the semantic of ImageProgressive.default is conflicting with the behavior. ImageProgressive.default is now marked as deprecated. To initilize a default ImageProgressive, use ImageProgressive.init() instead.

7.2.4 - Removing DocC plugin (2022-06-15)

Fix

Dependency of DocC plugin is now removed and Swift Package Index can still generate and host the documentation. #1952 @marcusziade

7.2.3 - Track Transform (2022-06-09)

Fix

Now the URL based AVAssetImageDataProvider support tracking transform by default. This could solve some cases that the video thumbnail were not at correct orientation. #1951 @sgarg4008
Use DocC as documentation generator and switch to Swift Package Index as the host. Big thanks to @daveverwer and all other fellows for the fantastic work!

7.2.2 - Rainy Season (2022-05-08)

Fix

Loading an animated images from cache now respects the received options. #1935 @uclort

7.2.1 - Spring Earth (2022-04-11)

Fix

Align requestModifier parameter with AsyncImageDownloadRequestModifier to allow async request changing. #1918 @KKirsten
Fix an issue that data downloading task callbacks are held even when the task is removed. #1913 @onevcat
Give correct cache key for local urls in its conformance of Resource. #1914 @onevcat
Reset placeholder image when loading fails. #1925 @PJ-LT
Fix several typos and grammar. #1926 @johnmckerrell #1927 @SunsetWan

7.2.0 - End of the tunnel (2022-02-27)

Add

An option in memory cache that allows the cached images not be purged while the app is switchted to background. #1890

Fix

Now the animated images are reset when deinit. This might fix some ocasional crash when destroying the AnimatedImageView. #1886
Fix wrong key override when a local resource created by ImageResource's initializer. #1903

7.1.2 - Cold Days (2021-12-07)

Fix

Lacking of diskStoreWriteOptions from KFOptionSetter. Now it supports to be set in a chainable way. #1862 @ignotusverum
A duplicated nested Radius type which prevents the framework being used in Playground. #1872
An issue that sometimes KFImage does not load images correctly when a huge amount of images are being loaded due to animation setting. #1873 @tatsuz0u
Remove explicit usage of @Published to allow refering KFImage even under a deploy target below iOS 13. #1875
Now the image cache calculats the cost animated images correctly with all frames. #1881 @pal-aspringfield
Remove CarPlay support when building against macCatalyst, which is not properly conditionally supported. #1876

7.1.1 - Double Ninth (2021-10-16)

Fix

In some cases the KFImage loading causes a freeze on certain iOS 14 systems. #1849 Thanks reporting from @JetForMe @benjamincombes @aralatpulat
Setting image to an AnimatedImageView now correctly replaces its layer contents. #1836 @phantomato

7.1.0 - Autumn Patch (2021-10-12)

Add

Extension for CarPlay support. Now you can use Kingfisher's extension image setting methods on CPListItem. #1802 from @waynehartman

Fix

An Xcode issue that not recognizes iOS 15 availability checking for Apple Silicon. #1822 from @enoktate
Add onFailureImage modifier back to KFImage, which was unexpected removed while upgrading. #1829 from @skellock
Start binder loading when body is evaluated. This fixes an unwanted flickering. This also adds a protection for internal loading state. #1828 from @JetForMe and @IvanShah
Use color description based on CGFloat style of a color instead of a hex value to allow extended color space when setting it to a processor. #1826 from @vonox7
An issue that the local file provided images are cached for multiple times when an app is updated. This is due to a changing main bundle location on the disk. Now Kingfisher uses a stable version of disk URL as the default cache key. #1831 from @iaomw
Now KFImage's internal rendered view is wrapped by a ZStack. This prevents a lazy container from recognizing different KFImages with a same URL as the same view. #1840 from @iOSappssolutions

7.0.0 - Version 7 (2021-09-21)

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 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

6.3.0 - Open To Better (2021-04-21)

Add

Mark SessionDelegate as public to allow a subclass to take over the delegate methods from session tasks. #1658
A new imageDownloader(_:didDownload:with:) in ImageDownloaderDelegate to pass not only Data but also the whole URLResponse to delegate method. Now you can determine how to handle these data based on the received response. #1676

6.2.1 - Spring Release Fix (2021-03-09)

Fix

Revert changes for the external delegate in #1620, which caused some image resource loading failing due to a CFNetwork internal error.

6.2.0 - Spring Release (2021-03-08)

Add

The backend of Kingfisher's cache solution, DiskStorage and MemoryStorage, are now marked as public. So you can use them standalone in your project. #1649
An imageFrameCount property in image view extensions. It holds the frame count of an animated image if available. #1647
A new extraSessionDelegateHandler in ImageDownloader. Now you can receive the related session task delegate method by registering an external delegate object. #1620
A new method loadImmediately for KFImage to start the load manually. It is useful if you want to load the image before onAppear is called.

Fix

Drop the use of @State for keeping image across View update for KFImage. This should fix some SwiftUI internal crash when setting the image in KFImage. #1642
The image reference in ImageBinder now is marked with weak. This helps release memory quicker in some cases. #1640

6.1.1 - SwiftUI Issues (2021-02-17)

Fix

Remove unnecessary queue dispatch when setting image result. This prevents image flickering when some situation. #1615
Now the KF builder methods also accept optional URL or Source. It aligns the syntax with the normal view extension methods. #1617
Fix an issue that wrong hash is calculated for ImageBinder. It might cause view state lost for a KFImage. #1624
Now the ImageCache will disable the disk storage when there is no free space on disk when creating the cache folder, instead of just crashing it. #1628
A workaround for @State lost when using a view inside another container in a Lazy stack or grid. #1631
Performance improvement for images with an non-up orientation in Exif when displaying in KFImage. #1629

6.1.0 - SwiftUI Rework (2021-02-01)

Add

Rewrite state management for KFImage. Now the image reloading works in a more stable way without task dispatching. #1604
Add fade and forceTransition modifier to KFImage to support built-in fade in effect when loading image in SwiftUI. #1604

Fix

When an ImageModifier is applied, the modified image is not cached to memory cache anymore. The ImageModifier is intended to be used just before setting the image to a view and now it works as expected. #1612
Now SwiftUI and Combine are declared as weak link in podspec. This is a workaround for some rare case build issue. It does not affect supported deploy version of Kingfisher. #1607
Remove header file from podspec to allow Kingfisher built as a static framework in a Swift-ObjC mixed project. #1608

6.0.1 - Bind & Hug (2021-01-05)

Fix

Start the binder again when KFImage initialized, to keep the same behavior as previous versions. #1594

6.0.0 - New Year 2021 (2021-01-03)

Add

A KF shorthand to create image setting tasks and config them. It provides a cleaner and modern way to use Kingfisher. Now, instead of using imageView.kf.setImage(with:options:), you can perform chain-able invocation with KF helpers. For example, the code below is identical. #1546

// Old way
imageView.kf.setImage(
  with: url,
  placeholder: localImage,
  options: [.transition(.fade(1)), .loadDiskFileSynchronously],
  progressBlock: { receivedSize, totalSize in
      print("progressBlock")
  },
  completionHandler: { result in
      print(result)
  }
)

// New way
KF.url(url)
  .placeholder(localImage)
  .fade(duration: 1)
  .loadDiskFileSynchronously()
  .onProgress { _ in print("progressBlock") }
  .onSuccess { result in print(result) }
  .onFailure { err in print("Error: \(err)") }
  .set(to: imageView)

Similar to KF, The KFImage for SwiftUI is now having the similar chain-able syntax to setup an image task and options. This makes the KFImage APIs closer to the way how SwiftUI code is written. #1586
Add support for TVMonogramView on tvOS. #1571
Some important properties and method in AnimatedImageView.Animator are marked as public now. It provides some useful information of the decoded GIF files. #1575
An AsyncImageDownloadRequestModifier to support modifying the request in an asynchronous way. #1589
Add a .lowDataMode option to support for Low Data Mode. When the .lowDataMode option is provided with an alternative source (usually a low-resolution version of the original image), Kingfisher will respect user's Low Data Mode setting and download the alternative image instead. #1590

Fix

An issue that importing AppKit wrongly in a macCatalyst build. #1547

Remove

Deprecated types, methods and properties are removed. If you are still using Kingfisher.Image, Kingfisher.ImageView or Kingfisher.Button, use the equivalent KFCrossPlatform types (such as KFCrossPlatformImage, etc) instead. Please make sure you do not have any warnings before migrate to Kingfisher v6. For more about the removed deprecated things, check #1525.
The standalone framework target of SwiftUI support is removed. Now the SwiftUI support is a part in the main Kingfisher library. To upgrade to v6, first remove Kingfisher/SwiftUI subpod (if you are using CocoaPods) or remove the KingfisherSwiftUI target (if you are using Carthage or Swift Package Manager), then reinstall Kingfisher. #1574

5.15.8 - KFImage handler (2020-11-27)

Fix

An issue caused the onSuccess handler not be called when the image is already cached. #1570

5.15.7 - Cancel Lock (2020-10-29)

Fix

Fix

Give SessionDelegate an Objective-C name so it can work with other libraries even added by a dependency which generates Objective-C header. #1532

5.15.3 - Farewell Objective-C (2020-09-21)

Fix

Removed the unnecessary ObjC header generating and module defining due to Xcode 12 is now generating conflicted types even for different libraries. #1517
Set deploy target for SwiftUI target and its pod spec to iOS 10 and macOS 10.12, which aligns to the settings of core framework. That resolves some dependency issues when using CocoaPods for both app target and extension targets. But it does not mean you can use the SwiftUI support on those minimal target. All related APIs are still unavailable on old system versions. #1524

5.15.2 - Xcode 11 Revived (2020-09-19)

Fix

Fix a build error introduced by the previous SwiftUI fix for Xcode 12. Now Xcode 11 can also build the KingfisherSwiftUI target. #1515

New extension methods on NSTextAttachment to load an image from network for an attachment. #1495
A general clear cache method which combines clearing for memory cache and disk cache. #1494

Fix

Now the sample app has a new look and supports dark mode, finally. #1496

Fix

Early return if no valid animator in an AnimatedImageView. This prevents a CGImage rendering issue displaying a static image. #1428
Enable Define Module setting to generate module map. So Kingfisher could be used in libraries imported to Objective-C projects. #1451
A fix to workaround on implicitly initializer of queue that might cause a crash. #1449
Improve the disk cache performance by avoiding unnecessary disk operations. #1480

5.14.0 - Retry Strategy (2020-05-13)

Add

A .retryStrategy option and associated RetryStrategy to define a highly customizable retry mechanism in Kingfisher. [#1424]
Built-in DelayRetryStrategy to provide a most common used retry strategy implementation. It simplifies the normal retry requirement when downloading an image from network. #1447
Now you can set the round corner radius for a RoundCornerImageProcessor in a fraction way. This is useful when you do not know the desire image view size, but still want to clip any received image to a certain round corner ratio (such as a circle for any image). #1443
Add an isLoaded binding to KFImage to follow SwiftUI pattern better. #1429

Fix

An issue that .imageModifier option not working on an ImageProvider provided image. #1435
A workaround for making xcframework continue to work when exported with Swift 5.2 compiler and Xcode 11.4. #1444

5.13.4 - Build Configurations (2020-04-11)

A race condition when setting CacheCallbackCoordinator state. #1394
Move an @objc attribute to prevent warnings in Xcode 11.4.

5.13.1 - Internal Warning (2020-02-17)

Fix

Fix an unused variable warning which is on by default in Xcode 11.4 and Swift 5.2, which makes CocoaPods angry when compiling. #1393

5.13.0 - New Year 2020 (2020-01-17)

Add

Mark DefaultCacheSerializer as public and enables the ability of original data caching. #1373
Add image compression quality parameter to DefaultCacheSerializer. #1372
A new contentURL property in ImageDataProvider to provide a URL when it makes sense. #1386

Fix

Now, local file URLs can be loaded as Resources without converted to LocalFileImageDataProvider explicitly. #1386

5.12.0 - White Overflow (2019-12-13)

Add

Two error cases under KingfisherError.CacheErrorReason to give out the detail error information and reason when a failure happens when caching the file on disk. Check .cannotCreateCacheFile and .cannotSetCacheFileAttribute if you need to handle these errors. #1365

Fix

A 32-bit Int overflow when calculating expiration duration when a large days value is set for StorageExpiration. #1371
The build config for SwiftUI sub-pod now only applies to the KingfisherSwiftUI scheme. #1368

Fix a issue which prevents building with Xcode 10. #1353

5.10.0 - Rex Rabbit (2019-11-17)

Add

An .alternativeSources option to provide a list of alternative image loading Sources. These Sources act as a fallback when the original Source downloading fails where Kingfisher will try to load images from. #1343

Fix

The .waitForCache option now also waits for caching for original image if the .cacheOriginalImage is also set. #1344
Now the retrieveImage methods in ImageCache calls its callbackQueue is .mainCurrentOrAsync by default instead of .untouch. It aligns the behavior of other parts in the framework. #1338
An issue that causes customize indicator not being placed with correct size. #1345
Performance improvement for loading progressive images. #1332

5.9.0 - Combination (2019-10-24)

Add support for iPad Apps for Mac. You can use Kingfisher's UIKit extensions (like UIImage and UIImageView) on a catalyst project.
Add support for SwiftUI. Build and import KingfisherSwiftUI.framework or contain the "Kingfisher/SwiftUI" subpod, then you can use KFImage to load image asynchronously. KFImage provides a similar interface as View.Image.
Add support for building as a binary framework. A zipped file containing xcframework and related dSYMs is provided in the release page.
A diskCacheAccessExtendingExpiration option to give more control of disk cache extending behavior. #1287
Combine all targets into one. Now Kingfisher is a cross-platform target and you need to specify an SDK to build it.

Fix

Rename too generic typealias names in Kingfisher, to avoid conflicting with SwiftUI types. Original Kingfisher.Image is now Kingfisher.KFCrossPlatformImage. The similar rules are applied to other cross-platform typealias too, such as Kingfisher.View, Kingfisher.Color and more.
A potential thread issue in taskIdentifier which might cause a crash when using data provider. #1276
An issue that causes memory shortage when a large number of network images are loaded in a short time. #1270

Add

Support extending memory cache TTL to a specified time instead of the fixed original expire setting. Use the .memoryCacheAccessExtendingExpiration to set a customize expiration extending duration when accessing the image. #1196
Add prebuilt binary framework when releasing to GitHub. Further supporting of fully compatible binary framework would come after Swift module stability. #1194

Fix

Resizing performance for animated images should be improved dramatically. #1189
A small optimization on MD5 calculation for image file cache key. #1183

5.5.0 - Progressive JPEG (2019-05-17)

5.3.0 - Prefetching Sources (2019-03-24)

Add

Now ImagePretcher also supports using Source as fetching target. #1142
An option to skip file name hashing when storing image to disk cashe. #1140
Supports multiple Swift versions for CocoaPods 1.7.0.

Fix

An issue that loading a downsampled image from original version might lead to different scale and potential memory performance problem. #1126
Marking setter of kf wrapper as nonmutating and seperate value/reference version of KingfisherCompatible. This allows mutating properties on kf even with a let declaration. #1134
A regression which causes stack overflow when using ImagePretcher to load huge ammount of images. #1143

5.2.0 - Swift 5.0 (2019-02-27)

Add

Compatible with Swift 5.0 and Xcode 10.2. Now Kingfisher builds against Swift 4.0, 4.2 and 5.0. #1098

Fix

A possible dead lock when using ImagePretcher heavily in another thread. #1122
Redesign Result type based on Swift Result in standard library. Deprecate value and error getter for Kingfisher.Result.

5.0.0 - Reborn (2018-12-08)

Add

Add Result type to Kingfisher. Now all callbacks in Kingfisher are using Result instead of tuples. This is more future-friendly and provides a modern way to make error handling better.
Make KingfisherError much more elaborate and accurate. Instead of simply provides the error code, now KingfisherError contains error reason and necessary associated values. It will help to understand and track the errors easier.
Better cache management by separating memory cache and disk cache to their own storages. Now you can use MemoryStorage and DiskStorage as the ImageCache backend.
Image cache of memory storage would be purged automatically in a certain time interval. This reduce memory pressure for other parts of your app.
The ImageCache is rewritten from scratch, to get benefit from new created MemoryStorage and DiskStorage. At the same time, this hybrid cache abstract keeps most API compatibility from the earlier versions.
Now the ImageCache can receive only raw Data object and cache it as needed.
A KingfisherParsedOptionsInfo type to parse KingfisherOptionsInfoItems in related API. This improves reusability and performance when handling options in Kingfisher.
An option to specify whether an image should also prefetched to memory cache or not.
An option to make the disk file loading synchronously instead of in its own I/O queue.
Options to specify cache expiration for either memory cache or disk cache. This gives you a chance to control cache lifetime in a per-task grain size.
Add a default maximum size for memory cache. Now only at most 25% of your device memory will be used to kept images in memory. You can also change this value if needed.
An option to specify a processing queue for image processors. This gives your flexibility if you want to use main queue or if you want to dispatch the processing to a different queue.
A DownsamplingImageProcessor for downsampling an image to a given size before loading it to memory.
Add ImageDataProvider protocol to make it possible to provide image data locally instead of downloading from network. Several concrete types are provided to load images from data format. Use LocalFileImageDataProvider to load an image from a local disk path, Base64ImageDataProvider to load image from a Base64 string representation and RawImageDataProvider to provide a raw Data object.
A general Source protocol to define from where the image should be loaded. Currently, we support to load an image from ImageDataProvider or from network now.

Fix

Now CommonCrypto from system is used to calculate file name from cache key, instead of using a customized hash algorithm.
An issue which causes ImageDownloader crashing when a lot of downloading tasks running at the same time.
All operations like image pretching and data receiving should now be performed in non-UI threads correctly.
Now KingfisherCompatible uses struct for kf namespacing for better performance.
