Changelog

v0.19.0 (2019-01-03)

  • Enhancements

    • All database files (parser databases and short code maps) can be downloaded using a single mix task ua_inspector.download
    • Downloading the databases ensures hackney is started to allow calling mix run --no-start -e "UAInspector.Downloader.download()"
    • Finding the data table is now done via a named lookup table instead of calling the database state server
    • If you need to check if all databases are loaded (i.e. "no longer empty") you can use UAInspector.ready?/0
    • OS Families are no longer hardcoded inside Util.OS but read from the original source and stored in a short code map
    • OS Families used for desktop detection are no longer hardcoded inside Util.OS but read from the original source and stored in a short code map
    • Reloading will now issue a warning if no database path is configured while resuming operation with an empty database
  • Soft deprecations (no warnings)

    • The individual download tasks for databases and short code maps have been removed from the documentation. They are still completely functional but will eventually be removed after a proper deprecation phase

v0.18.0 (2018-08-15)

  • Enhancements

    • Configuration can be done on supervisor (re-) start or when running the mix download tasks by setting a {mod, fun} tuple for the config key :init. This method will be called without arguments.
    • Old data tables are deleted with a configurable delay after reloading to avoid race conditions (and the resulting empty lookup responses)
  • Bug fixes

    • ETS tables of short code maps are now properly cleaned after reload
  • Soft deprecations (no warnings)

    • Support for {:system, "ENV_VARIABLE"} configuration has been removed from the documentation. It will eventually be removed completely after a proper deprecation phase

v0.17.0 (2018-02-18)

  • Enhancements

    • References to piwik (like database URLs) have been updated to reflect the rename to matomo

v0.16.1 (2018-01-17)

  • Bug fixes

    • Broken module naming for the mix download tasks has been fixed (#12)

v0.16.0 (2018-01-05)

  • Backwards incompatible changes

    • Minimum required elixir version is now ~> 1.3

v0.15.1 (2018-01-17)

  • Bug fixes

    • Broken module naming for the mix download tasks has been fixed (#12)

v0.15.0 (2017-12-30)

  • Enhancements

    • All databases can be reloaded (asynchronously) using UAInspector.reload/0
    • Supervision can now be done without starting the application (#8)
    • The database downloader has been promoted to a directly usable module
  • Bug fixes

    • If a device has no type configured in the database previously nil was returned instead of the expected :unknown

v0.14.0 (2017-05-31)

  • Enhancements

    • Empty user agents ("" or nil) now return a result without performing an actual lookup. By definition an empty user agent is never detected as a bot
    • System environment configuration can set an optional default value to be used if the environment variable is unset
  • Bug fixes

    • Properly handles nil values passed to the lookup functions (#7)

v0.13.0 (2016-09-08)

  • Enhancements

    • Engine versions are extracted
    • Remote url of database files is now configurable. Due to naming changes a complete re-download is necessary
    • Remote url of short code map files is now configurable

v0.12.0 (2016-08-18)

  • Enhancements

    • Database downloads are done using hackney in order to prepare an upcoming auto-update feature
    • If the initial load of a database (during process initialisiation) fails a message will be sent through Logger.info/1
    • If the initial load of a short code map (during process initialisation) fails a message will be sent through Logger.info/1
  • Backwards incompatible changes

    • Completely unknown devices now yield :unknown instead of a struct with all values set to :unknown
    • Downloads are now done using :hackney instead of mix. This may force you to manually reconfigure the client
    • Minimum required elixir version is now ~> 1.2
    • Minimum required erlang version is now ~> 18.0
