3.13.0

New

Pre-fetch translations for a locale

Call Phrase.prefetchLocale(localeCode) to download and cache a locale's translations ahead of time without switching the user's active locale. Useful for preparing offline use or speeding up locale switches.

Improvements

Smaller dependency footprint

The Material library is no longer pulled in transitively by the SDK. If your app uses Material it continues to work; if it doesn't, you save the dependency.

No more StrictMode violations on startup

Phrase.setup() no longer triggers main-thread disk reads, so apps running with StrictMode enabled won't see violations from the SDK during initialization.

Network layer now uses OkHttp

Translation downloads run on OkHttp instead of HttpURLConnection, so SDK traffic now shows up in OkHttp interceptors, network profilers, and per-app traffic stats.

3.12.0

• Downloaded releases are rechecked against the latest app version on start and will be removed if their minimum or maximum version constraints no longer match. Fixes #42
• Log used webview version in debug mode

3.11.0

Added

• Add optional formatArgs parameter to Translations.getString() and Translations.getQuantityString() for automatic translation placeholder replacement.
• Add getPhraseString(), getPhraseText(), getPhraseStringArray(), getPhraseTextArray(), getPhraseQuantityString() and getPhraseQuantityText() extension functions to Context and Resources
• Add optional wrapContext parameter to Phrase.getDelegate() to disable Activity Context wrapping.

Compose

• Deprecate Phrase {} wrapper composable. Context Wrapping is not necessary any more to use Phrase translations in Compose.
• Add phraseText(), phraseStringArray(), phraseTextArray(), phraseQuantityString() and phraseQuantityText() composables to complete the Phrase Translation support in Compose.
