v1.3.4

v1.3.4 / 2024-03-15

Changes for All platforms

• Make trim() more robust in multi-process mode.

iOS & macOS

• Support visionOS.

POSIX

• Fix a compile error on ::unlink().

v1.3.3

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.

POSIX

• Fix a compile error on memcpy().

Golang

• Fix a compile error when MMKV_DISABLE_CRYPT is on.

v1.3.2

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 crashes 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, the 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

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.

Changes for All platforms

• Fix a critical bug that might cause multi-process MMKV corrupt. This bug was introduced in v1.2.16.
• Add the ability to filter expired keys on count() & allKeys() methods when auto key expiration is turn on.
• Reduce the msync() call on newly created MMKV instances.

v1.3.0

v1.3.0 / 2023-06-14

Changes for All platforms

• Add auto key expiration feature. Note that this is a breaking change, once upgrade to auto expiration, the MMKV file is not valid for older versions of MMKV (v1.2.16 and below) to correctly operate.
• Rollback the lazy load optimization due to reported ANR issues. It was introduced in v1.2.16.

iOS & macOS

• Fix a potential memory leak on setting a new value for an existing key.
• Upgrade min support target to iOS 11 / macOS 10.13 / tvOS 13 / watchOS 4.

Flutter

• The version of MMKV for Flutter is now the same as the MMKV native library.

v1.2.16

v1.2.16 / 2023-04-20

Changes for All platforms

• Optimization: The actual file content is lazy loaded now, saving time on MMKV instance creation, and avoiding lock waiting when a lot of instances are created at the same time.
• Fix a bug when restoring a loaded MMKV instance the meta file might mistakenly report corrupted.

Android

• Optimization: Remove unnecessary binder call on main process instantiation.

Flutter

• Fix a crash on decoding an empty list.
• Remove deprecated dependence.
• Make the script more robust to fix the iOS Flutter plugin name.

iOS & macOS

• Fix a compile error on macOS.
• Fix a bug that some ObjC exceptions are not being caught.
• Add assert on nil MMKV base path, protect from mis-using MMKV in global variable initialization.
