v4.0.0-beta.6

SQL cache performance improvements

If you're using a chained memory + SQL cache, #5840 makes sure cache writes are wrapped in a transaction, making them much faster.

Apollo Compiler Plugins

Plugin is renamed to ApolloCompilerPlugin. There is a new documentTransform API as well as other fixes. More details in the compiler plugins documentation.

Experimental WebSockets

A new .websocket package is available that makes it easier to retry WebSockets and handle errors. More details and migration guide in the experimental websockets documentation.

ApolloIdlingResource is deprecated

We recommend using reactive patterns to test your UI instead. See this article about ways to do so.

Removed androidx.startup dependency

androidx.startup was introduced in beta.5 but is problematic for unit tests and other cases. beta.6 removes that dependency. More details in the network connectivity documentation.

WasmJS support for apollo-adapter

You can see Wasm in action at https://wasm.confetti-app.dev/

Threading changes

In a effort to minimize the number of thread switches, the whole request is now run in the same dispatcher. See Threading.md for more details.
