[0.2.1-alpha] 2018-06-11

Fixed

• Fix RuntimeException while deleting SQLite database.

Added

• Wendy .clear() has an async and sync version.
• Breaking Change Wendy.clear() has been renamed to Wendy.clearAsync(). Wendy.clear() is the synchronous version now.

For the use case of your users logging out of your app and you want to delete all of the data associated with them, .clear() has been added to Wendy!

Full changelog below:

Added

• Method added to stop the task runner and delete all Wendy databases and shared preferences. Used to "reset" Wendy if your app user decides to logout of the app, for example.
• README.md docs have been improved to include how to provide dependencies to your PendingTask instances to perform tasks such as API calls and working with a database.

Changed

• Compile version for library updated to SDK 28 (Android P).

No breaking changes in this release. Good ol bug fixes release.

[0.1.3-alpha] - 2018-05-02

Fixed

• When adding a TaskStatusListener for a PendingTask, check if there is an error for the PendingTask and call the listener if there is.
• Improve logic for handling PendingTasks when one is added to Wendy but the task runner is already running a similar task.

Changed

• When Wendy.resolveError(taskId) is called for a PendingTask that belongs to a group, Wendy will grab all of the similar PendingTasks of that group (same tag, dataId, groupId), iterate them all in order by createdAt property, then resolve the first error that Wendy comes upon. This is to help the developer not need to handle 2+ different PendingTask taskIds for groups.

I have been doing a lot of work on Wendy-iOS lately and while I was working on it, I found some bugs with Wendy-Android. I have gone through and fixed those in this release.

Note: There are indeed a couple minor breaking changes here.

[0.1.2-alpha] - 2018-04-18

Added

• Enforce a new best practice: All subclasses of a PendingTask must all have a groupId or none of them have a groupId.

Fixed

• While a PendingTask is running by the task runner, if a duplicate of that PendingTask gets added to Wendy, do not delete the PendingTask if it runs successfully.
• I forgot to include all of the parameters in the recursion calls to the task runner's runAllTasks() function call. That's fixed.

Changed

• Breaking Change Removed the rescheduled parameter in the Wendy listeners when a task is complete. It is always rescheduled if it fails so no need for the paramter.
• Breaking Change Wendy.runAllTasks() now takes an object for filtering instead of a string for groupId.

This 0.1.1-alpha release is a bug fix release with some breaking changes (don't you love alpha software 😉?).

Full changelog

[0.1.1-alpha] - 2018-04-13

Added

• Add strict mode to help developer during development of Wendy.

Fixed

• Update README.md docs for the new changes done to the library recently.
• PendingTasks no longer get deleted on failing running tasks.

Changed

• Breaking Change This release comes with a SQLite database change but does not come with a database migration! This is not backwards compatible with the last release 0.1.0-alpha. This was done because 0.1.0-alpha is not used in production by any apps (to my knowledge) and the change would have taken a bit of work to do. This was the easier solution for the situation.
• Breaking Change PendingTasksFactory.getTask() returns nullable PendingTask.
• Breaking Change Make taskId property nullable in PendingTask as it is null until it is added to Wendy.
• Breaking Change Rename PendingTasks file to Wendy.
• Do not allow tasks to run if part of a group and the task is not the first task in a group.

BIG refactor.

• Wendy no longer requires the use of RxJava, Realm, Retrofit, and a few other depedencies (sorry about requiring those, geez...)
• Wendy is much easier to work with. Built more generic to satisfy all the use cases instead of a very small subset.
• Manually run, groups, work better.
• Listeners for tasks.
• Example app built to test out the library.
• Way better developer experience. API built from the ground up.
• PendingTasks are no longer models. This makes it was easier to work with and way quicker to create tasks for Wendy.

I have learned a lot in the past year while building this library on how it should work. This release is going in the right direction. I am excited to see where it goes from here.

More stable. Better API. Slimmed down.

---

You may use this version in your apps if you wish. I am using them in my production apps. However, I am not guaranteeing that the library API will not change.

I am marking this release as alpha. Usable, but may be buggy and API may change. Use it and report issues 😄.
