• Dependency of DocC plugin is now removed and Swift Package Index can still generate and host the documentation. #1952 @marcusziade

7.2.3 - Track Transform

Fix

• Now the URL based AVAssetImageDataProvider support tracking transform by default. This could solve some cases that the video thumbnail were not at correct orientation. #1951 @sgarg4008
• Use DocC as documentation generator and switch to Swift Package Index as the host. Big thanks to @daveverwer and all other fellows for the fantastic work!

7.2.0 - End of the tunnel

Add

• An option in memory cache that allows the cached images not be purged while the app is switchted to background. #1890

Fix

• Now the animated images are reset when deinit. This might fix some ocasional crash when destroying the AnimatedImageView. #1886
• Fix wrong key override when a local resource created by ImageResource's initializer. #1903

7.1.2 - Cold Days

Fix

• Lacking of diskStoreWriteOptions from KFOptionSetter. Now it supports to be set in a chainable way. #1862 @ignotusverum
• A duplicated nested Radius type which prevents the framework being used in Playground. #1872
• An issue that sometimes KFImage does not load images correctly when a huge amount of images are being loaded due to animation setting. #1873 @tatsuz0u
• Remove explicit usage of @Published to allow refering KFImage even under a deploy target below iOS 13. #1875
• Now the image cache calculats the cost animated images correctly with all frames. #1881 @pal-aspringfield
• Remove CarPlay support when building against macCatalyst, which is not properly conditionally supported. #1876

7.1.1 - Double Ninth

Fix

• In some cases the KFImage loading causes a freeze on certain iOS 14 systems. #1849 Thanks reporting from @JetForMe @benjamincombes @aralatpulat
• Setting image to an AnimatedImageView now correctly replaces its layer contents. #1836 @phantomato

7.1.0 - Autumn Patch

Add

• Extension for CarPlay support. Now you can use Kingfisher's extension image setting methods on CPListItem. #1802 from @waynehartman

Fix

• An Xcode issue that not recognizes iOS 15 availability checking for Apple Silicon. #1822 from @enoktate
• Add onFailureImage modifier back to KFImage, which was unexpected removed while upgrading. #1829 from @skellock
• Start binder loading when body is evaluated. This fixes an unwanted flickering. This also adds a protection for internal loading state. #1828 from @JetForMe and @IvanShah
• Use color description based on CGFloat style of a color instead of a hex value to allow extended color space when setting it to a processor. #1826 from @vonox7
• An issue that the local file provided images are cached for multiple times when an app is updated. This is due to a changing main bundle location on the disk. Now Kingfisher uses a stable version of disk URL as the default cache key. #1831 from @iaomw
• Now KFImage's internal rendered view is wrapped by a ZStack. This prevents a lazy container from recognizing different KFImages with a same URL as the same view. #1840 from @iOSappssolutions

7.0.0 - Version 7

Add

• Rewrite SwiftUI support based on @StateObject instead of the old @ObservedObject. It provides a stable and better data model backs the image rendering in SwiftUI. For this, Kingfisher SwiftUI supports from iOS 14 now. #1707
• Mark ImageCache.retrieveImageInMemoryCache(forKey:options:) as open to expose a correct override entry point to outside. #1703
• The NSTextAttachment extension method now accepts closure instead of a evaluated view. This allows delaying the passing in view to the timing which actually it is needed. #1746
• A KFAnimatedImage type to display a GIF image in SwiftUI. #1705
• Add a progress parameter to the KFImage's placeholder closure. This allows you create a view based on the loading progress. #1707
• Now KFAnimatedImage also supports configure modifier so you can set options to the underhood AnimatedImageView. #1768
• Expose AnimatedImageView fields to allow consumers to observe GIF progress. #1789 @AttilaTheFun
• An option to pass in an write option for writing data to the disk cache. This allows writing cache in a fine-tuned way, such as .atomic or .completeFileProtection. #1793 @ignotusverum

Fix

• Uses UIGraphicsImageRenderer on iOS and tvOS for better image drawing. #1706
• An issue that prevents Kingfisher compiling on mac Catalyst target in some certain of Xcode versions. #1692 @kvyatkovskys
• The KF.retry(:_) method now accepts an optional value. It allows to reset the retry strategy by passing in a nil value. #1729
• The placeholder view builder of KFImage now works when it gets changed instead of using its initial value forever. #1707
• Some minor performance improvement. #1739 @fuyoufang
• The LocalFileImageDataProvider now loads data in a background queue by default. This prevents loading performance issue when the loading is created on main thread. #1764 @ConfusedVorlon
• Respect transition for SwiftUI view when using KFImage. #1767
• A type of AuthenticationChallengeResponsable. Now use AuthenticationChallengeResponsible instead. #1780 @fakerlogic
• An issue that AnimatedImageView dose not change the tintColor for templated images. #1786 @leonpesdk
• A crash when loading a GIF image in iOS 13 and below. #1805 @leonpesdk

Remove

• Drop support for iOS 10/11, macOS 10.13/10.14, tvOS 10/11 and watch OS 3/4. #1802
• The workaround of KFImage.loadImmediately is not necessary anymore due to the model switching to @StateObject. The interface is kept for backward compatibility, but it does nothing in the new version. #1707

7.0.0-beta.4 - Version 7

Add

• An option to pass in an write option for writing data to the disk cache. This allows writing cache in a fine-tuned way, such as .atomic or .completeFileProtection. #1793

Fix
