v1.3.3 / 2024-01-25

Changes for All platforms

• Add removeStorage() static method to safely delete underlying files of an MMKV instance.
• Add protection from a potential crash of a multi-process MMKV loading due to the MMKV file not being valid.
• Add back the lazy load feature. It was first introduced in v1.2.16. But it was rollbacked in v1.3.0 of potential ANR & file corruption. Now it's clear that the bug was caused by something else, it's time to bring it back.
• Optimize loading speed by using shared inter-process lock unless there's a need to truncate the file size, which is rare.
• Make these two lately added features more robust: customizing the initial file size & optimizing write speed when there's only one key inside MMKV.

Android

• Fix a bug that null is returned when the value is in fact an empty ByteArray.
• Fix AGP >= 8 package namespace error.
• Fix the FastNative naming conflict.
• Upgrade to SDK 34.
• Upgrade androidx.annotation to v1.7.1.

iOS & macOS

• On the Xcode 15 build, an App will crash on iOS 14 and below. Previously we have recommended some workarounds (check the v1.3.2 release note for details). Now you can use Xcode 15.1 to fix this issue.
• Fix a bug that the multi-process mode won't configure correctly. It was introduced in v1.3.2.
• Fix a macro naming conflict.
• Avoid using a so-called privacy API when creating temp files.

v1.3.2 / 2023-11-20

Among most of the features added in this version, the credit goes to @kaitian521.

Changes for All platforms

• Add the feature of customizing the initial file size of an MMKV instance.
• Optimize write speed when there's only one key inside MMKV, the new key is the same as the old one, and MMKV is in SINGLE_PROCESS_MODE.
• Optimize write speed by overriding from the beginning of the file instead of append in the back, when there's zero key inside MMKV, and MMKV is in SINGLE_PROCESS_MODE.
• Add the feature of clearAll() with keeping file disk space unchanged, reducing the need to expand file size on later insert & update operations. This feature is off by default, you will have to call it with relative params or newly added methods.
• Add the feature of comparing values before setting/encoding on the same key.
• Fix a potential bug that the MMKV file will be invalid state after a successful expansion but a failure zeroFill(), will lead to a crash.
• Fix a potential crash due to other module/static lib turn-off RTTI, which will cause MMKV to fail to catch std::exception.
• Fix several potential crash due to the MMKV file not being valid.

Android

• Use the -O2 optimization level by default, which will reduce native lib size and improve read/write speed a little bit.
• Experimantal use @fastNative annotation on enableCompareBeforeCompare() to speed up JNI call.

iOS & macOS

• Optimize auto-clean logic to reduce lock waiting time.
• Turn-off mlock() protection in background on iOS 13+. We have verified it on WeChat that the protection is no longer needed from at least iOS 13. Maybe iOS 12 or older is also not needed, but we don't have the chance to verify that because WeChat no longer supports iOS 12.

Known Issue

• On Xcode 15 build, App will crash on iOS 14 and below. The bug is introduced by Apple's new linker. The official solutions provided by Apple are either:
  • Drop the support of iOS 14.
  • Add -Wl,-weak_reference_mismatches,weak or -Wl,-ld_classic options to the OTHER_LDFLAGS build setting of Xcode 15. Note that these options are not recognized by older versions of Xcode.
  • Use older versions of Xcode, or wait for Xcode 15.2.

v1.3.1 / 2023-8-11

This is a hotfix version. It's highly recommended that v1.2.16 & v1.3.0 users upgrade as soon as possible.

This version is mainly for Android & Flutter.

Android

• Complete JavaDoc documentation for all public methods, classes, and interfaces. From now on, you can find the API reference online.
• Drop the support of armeabi arch. Due to some local build cache mistake, the last version (v1.2.9) of MMKV still has an unstripped armeabi arch inside. This is fixed.
• Change MMKV.mmkvWithID() from returning null to throwing exceptions on any error.
• Add MMKV.actualSize() to get the actual used size of the file.
• Mark MMKV.commit() & MMKV.apply() as deprecated, to avoid some misuse after migration from SharedPreferences to MMKV.

Flutter (v1.2.11)

• Bug Fixed: When building on iOS, occasionally it will fail on symbol conflict with other libs. We have renamed all public native methods to avoid potential conflict.
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.10.

v1.2.9 / 2021-05-26

This version is mainly for Android & Flutter.

Android

• Drop the support of armeabi arch. As has been mention in the last release, to avoid some crashes on the old NDK (r16b), and make the most of a more stable libc++, we have decided to upgrade MMKV's building NDK in this release. That means we can't support armeabi anymore. Those who still in need of armeabi can build from sources by following the instruction in the wiki.

We really appreciate your understanding.

Flutter (v1.2.10)

• Bug Fixed: When calling MMKV.encodeString() with an empty string value on Android, MMKV.decodeString() will return null.
• Bug Fixed: After upgrading from Flutter 1.20+ to 2.0+, calling MMKV.defaultMMKV() on Android might fail to load, you can try calling MMKV.defaultMMKV(cryptKey: '\u{2}U') with an encrytion key '\u{2}U' instead.
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.9.

v1.2.8 / 2021-05-06

This will be the last version that supports armeabi arch on Android. To avoid some crashes on the old NDK (r16b), and make the most of a more stable libc++, we have decided to upgrade MMKV's building NDK in the next release. That means we can't support armeabi anymore.

We really appreciate your understanding.

Android

• Migrate MMKV to Maven Central Repository. For versions older than v1.2.7 (including), they are still available on JCenter.
• Add MMKV.disableProcessModeChecker(). There are some native crash reports due to the process mode checker. You can disable it manually.
• For the same reason described above (native crashed), MMKV will now turn off the process mode checker on a non-debuggable app (aka, a release build).
• For MMKV to detect whether the app is debuggable or not, when calling MMKV.initialize() to customize the root directory, a context parameter is required now.

iOS / macOS

• Min iOS support has been upgrade to iOS 9.
• Support building by Xcode 12.

Flutter (v1.2.9)

• Support null-safety.
• Upgrade to flutter 2.0.
• Fix a crash on the iOS when calling encodeString() with an empty string value.

Known Issue on Flutter

• When calling encodeString() with an empty string value on Android, decodeString() will return null. This bug will be fixed in the next version of Android Native Lib. iOS does not have such a bug.

Windows

• Fix a compile error on Visual Studio 2019.

v1.2.7 / 2020-12-25

Happy holidays everyone!

Changes for All platforms

• Fix a bug when calling sync() with false won't do msync() asynchronous and won't return immediately.

Android

• Fix an null pointer exception when calling putStringSet() with null.
• Complete review of all MMKV methods about Java nullable/nonnull annotation.

Flutter (v1.2.8)

• Fix a crash on the iOS simulator when accessing the default MMKV instance.
• Fix a bug on iOS when initing the default MMKV instance with a crypt key, the instance is still in plaintext.

Golang

Add golang for POSIX platforms. Most things actually work!. Check out the wiki for information.

v1.2.6 / 2020-11-27

Changes for All platforms

• Fix a file corruption when calling reKey() after removeKeys() has just been called.

Android

• Fix compile error when MMKV_DISABLE_CRYPT is set.
• Add a preprocess directive MMKV_DISABLE_FLUTTER to disable flutter plugin features. If you integrate MMKV by source code, and if you are pretty sure the flutter plugin is not needed, you can turn that off to save some binary size.

Flutter (v1.2.7)

Add MMKV support for Flutter on iOS & Android platform. Most things actually work!
Check out the wiki for more info.

v1.2.5 / 2020-11-13

iOS / macOS

• Add auto clean up feature. Call +[MMKV enableAutoCleanUp:] to enable auto cleanup MMKV instances that not been accessed recently.
• Fix a potential crash on devices under iPhone X.

Android

• Add multi-process mode check. After so many issues had been created due to mistakenly using MMKV in multi-process mode in Android, this check is added. If an MMKV instance is accessed with SINGLE_PROCESS_MODE in multi-process, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

POSIX

• Add support for armv7 & arm64 arch on Linux.

v1.2.1 / 2020-07-03

This is a hotfix release. Anyone who has upgraded to v1.2.0 should upgrade to this version immediately.

• Fix a potential file corruption bug when writing a file that was created in versions older than v1.2.0. This bug was introduced in v1.2.0.
• Add a preprocess directive MMKV_DISABLE_CRYPT to turn off MMKV encryption ability once and for all. If you integrate MMKV by source code, and if you are pretty sure encryption is not needed, you can turn that off to save some binary size.
• The parameter relativePath (customizing a separate folder for an MMKV instance), has been renamed to rootPath. Making it clear that an absolute path is expected for that parameter.

iOS / macOS

• -[MMKV mmkvWithID: relativePath:] is deprecated. Use -[MMKV mmkvWithID: rootPath:] instead.
• Likewise, -[MMKV mmkvWithID: cryptKey: relativePath:] is deprecated. Use -[MMKV mmkvWithID: cryptKey: rootPath:] instead.

v1.2.0 / 2020-06-30

This is the second major version of MMKV. Everything you call is the same as the last version, while almost everything underneath has been improved.

• Reduce Memory Footprint. We used to cache all key-values in a dictionary for efficiency. From now on we store the offset of each key-value inside the mmap-memory instead, reducing memory footprint by almost half for (non-encrypt) MMKV. And the accessing efficiency is almost the same as before. As for encrypted MMKV, we can't simply store the offset of each key-value, the relative encrypt info needs to be stored as well. That will be too much for small key-values. We only store such info for large key-values (larger than 256B).
• Improve Writeback Efficiency. Thanks to the optimization above, we now can implement writeback by simply calling memmove() multiple times. Efficiency is increased and memory consumption is down.
• Optimize Small Key-Values. Small key-values of encrypted MMKV are still cached in memory, as all the old versions did. From now on, the struct MMBuffer will try to store small values in the stack instead of in the heap, saving a lot of time from malloc() & free(). In fact, all primitive types will be store in the stack memory.

All of the improvements above are available to all supported platforms. Here are the additional changes for each platform.

iOS / macOS

• Optimize insert & delete. Especially for inserting new values to existing keys, or deleting keys. We now use the UTF-8 encoded keys in the mmap-memory instead of live encoding from keys, cutting the cost of string encoding conversion.
• Fix Xcode compile error on some projects.
• Drop the support of iOS 8. thread_local is not available on iOS 8. We choose to drop support instead of working around because iOS 8's market share is considerably small.

POSIX

• It's known that GCC before 5.0 doesn't support C++17 standard very well. You should upgrade to the latest version of GCC to compile MMKV.

v1.1.2 / 2020-05-29

Android / iOS & macOS / Windows / POSIX

• Fix a potential crash after trim() a multi-process MMKV instance.
• Improve clearAll() a bit.

v1.1.1 / 2020-04-13

iOS / macOS

• Support WatchOS.
• Rename +[MMKV onExit] to +[MMKV onAppTerminate], to avoid naming conflict with some other OpenSource projects.
• Make background write protection much more robust, fix a potential crash when writing meta info in background.
• Fix a potential data corruption bug when writing a UTF-8 (non-ASCII) key.

Android

• Fix a crash in the demo project when the App is hot reloaded.
• Improve wiki & readme to recommend users to init & destruct MMKV in the Application class instead of the MainActivity class.

POSIX

• Fix two compile errors with some compilers.

v1.1.0 / 2020-03-24

This is the first major breaking version ever since MMKV was made public in September 2018, introducing bunches of improvement. Due to the Covid-19, it has been delayed for about a month. Now it's finally here!

• Improved File Recovery Strategic. We store the CRC checksum & actual file size on each sync operation & full write back, plus storing the actual file size in the same file(aka the .crc meta file) as the CRC checksum. Base on our usage inside WeChat on the iOS platform, it cuts the file corruption rate down by almost half.
• Unified Core Library. We refactor the whole MMKV project and unify the cross-platform Core library. From now on, MMKV on iOS/macOS, Android, Windows all share the same core logic code. It brings many benefits such as reducing the work to fix common bugs, improvements on one platform are available to other platforms immediately, and much more.
• Supports POSIX Platforms. Thanks to the unified Core library, we port MMKV to POSIX platforms easily.
• Multi-Process Access on iOS/macOS. Thanks to the unified Core library, we add multi-process access to iOS/macOS platforms easily.
• Efficiency Improvement. We make the most of armv8 ability including the AES & CRC32 instructions to tune encryption & error checking speed up by one order higher than before on armv8 devices. There are bunches of other speed tuning all around the whole project.

Here are the old-style change logs of each platform.

iOS / macOS

• Adds multi-process access support. You should initialize MMKV by calling +[MMKV initializeMMKV: groupDir: logLevel:], passing your app group id. Then you can get a multi-process instance by calling +[MMKV mmkvWithID: mode:] or +[MMKV mmkvWithID: cryptKey: mode:], accessing it cross your app & your app extensions.
• Add inter-process content change notification. You can get MMKV changes notification of other processes by implementing - onMMKVContentChange: of <MMKVHandler> protocol.
• Improved File Recovery Strategic. Cuts the file corruption rate down by almost half. Details are above.
• Efficiency Improvement. Encryption & error checking speed are up by one order higher on armv8 devices(aka iDevice including iPhone 5S and above). Encryption on armv7 devices is improved as well. Details are ahead.
• Other speed improvements. Refactor core logic using MRC, improve std::vector push_back() speed by using move constructors & move assignments.
• +[MMKV setMMKVBasePath:] & +[MMKV setLogLevel:] are marked deprecated. You should use +[MMKV initializeMMKV:] or +[MMKV initializeMMKV: logLevel:] instead.
• The MMKVLogLevel enum has been improved in Swift. It can be used like MMKVLogLevel.info and so on.

Android

• Improved File Recovery Strategic. Cuts the file corruption rate down by almost half. Details are above.
• Efficiency Improvement. Encryption & error checking speed are up by one order higher on armv8 devices with the arm64-v8a abi. Encryption on armeabi & armeabi-v7a is improved as well. Details are ahead.
• Add exception inside core encode & decode logic, making MMKV much more robust.
• Other speed improvements. Improve std::vector push_back() speed by using move constructors & move assignments.

Windows

• Improved File Recovery Strategic. Cuts the file corruption rate down by almost half. Details are above.
• Add exception inside core encode & decode logic, making MMKV much more robust.
• Other speed improvements. Improve std::vector push_back() speed by using move constructors & move assignments.

POSIX

• Most things actually work! We have tested MMKV on the latest version of Linux(Ubuntu, Arch Linux, CentOS, Gentoo), and Unix(macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD) on the time v1.1.0 is released.

v1.0.13 / 2018-11-09

iOS / macOS

What's new

• Special chars like / are supported in MMKV now. The file name of MMKV with special mmapID will be encoded with md5 and stored in seperate folder.
• Add callback for MMKV error handling. You can make MMKV to recover instead of discard when crc32 check fail happens.

Known Issues

• Setting nil value to reset a key will be ignored. Use remove instead.

Android

What's new

• Add static linked of libc++ to trim AAR size. Use it when there's no other lib in your App embeds libc++_shared.so. Or if you already have an older version of libc++_shared.so that doesn't agree with MMKV.
  Add implementation 'com.tencent:mmkv-static:1.0.13' to your App's gradle setting to integrate.

• Port to macOS
• Support NSCoding
  You can store NSArray/NSDictionary or any object what implements <NSCoding> protocol.
• Redesign Swift interface
• Some performance improvement

Known Issues

• MMKV use mmapID as its filename, so don't contain any / inside mmapID.
• Storing a value of type A and getting by type B may not work. MMKV does type erasure while storing values. That means it's hard for MMKV to do value-type-checking, if not impossible.

• registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener not supported.
  This is intended. We believe doing data-change-listener inside a storage framework smells really bad to us. We suggest using something like event-bus to notify any interesting clients.
