Fixed
Presence graph may not show all active connections. (#10507)

Mesh could choose random connections. (#10711)
Fixed
A bug with Ditto's internal crash handler. (#10022)


Java Version 4.4.5

Released: Fri Nov 17, 2023
Added
SDK version/language/platform and device name are now included in the small peer info document. (#10515)


Java Version 4.4.4

Released: Thur Nov 2, 2023
Improved
Runtime validation of corrupted attachments being inserted into documents (#10552)
Fixed
An issue introduced in 4.4.2 where the Small Peer Info attachments were not replicated to the Portal. (#10538)


Java Version 4.4.3

Released: Wed Nov 14, 2023
Improved
Runtime validation of corrupted attachments being inserted into documents (#10552)
Fixed
An issue introduced in 4.4.2 where the Small Peer Info attachments were not replicated to the Portal. (#10538)


Java Version 4.4.2

Fixed
Small Peer info collection now defaults to localPeerOnly, preventing data from being collected on the Big Peer until the feature is explicitly enabled and sync scope is set to bigPeerOnly. (#10203, #10204)
Fixed
Fixed: DittoCollection.upsert() and DittoScopedWriteTransaction.upsert() are now annotated to indicate that they can throw a DittoError (#10109)


Java Version 4.4.1

Improved
BLE connection reliability on Android 13. (#10005)


Java Android Version 4.4.0

Added
New smallPeerInfo property to Ditto class for access to the single DittoSmallPeerInfo class instance. (#9704)
Added
New DittoSmallPeerInfoSyncScope enum class. The smallPeerInfo collection's sync scope determines which "kind" of peers it will replicate to. Defaults to BigPeerOnly. (#9704, #9788)
Added
New ValidationError and InternalError classes to help diagnose issues. (#9704)
Added
More informative log message for query failures caused by database access errors. (#9364)
Added
Small peers now persist structured log data to disk for later retrieval, with limits on the resulting disk usage. (#9547)
Improved
Print some internal errors in a more human-readable format. (#9269)
Improved
TransportConfig and its associated types can be serialized/deserialized into/from JSON and CBOR. (#9585)
Improved
Sets a minimum session refresh period. The small peer will always try to start refreshing its session after 3 days no matter how long the session period issue. Previously the small peer would start to refresh after half of the session length had elapsed. (#9594, #9645)
Improved
Initial replication time by reducing one roundtrip of messages before peers can sync. (#9404)
Improved
Attachment fetch time in several edge case scenarios. (#9501)
Improved
efficiency by using less system resources when connected to peers but no replication changes are needing to be sent. (#9479, #7995)
Improved
Significantly reduced startup resource consumption linked to total document count. (#9501)
Fixed
A scenario where a peer could incorrectly receive data back from other peers even after they had modified their subscription and evicted the old data. (#9404)
Fixed
An issue where unusually high replication write load in large meshes could block all readers from reading the database. (#9395, #8872)"

Released: Tue Jul 18th 2023, 10:02 pm

Release Notes:

⚠️ Warning: This SDK version will migrate some data formats on disk. Once upgraded to 4.3.0, an SDK can only be downgraded back to 4.2.2 and 4.2.1 but no earlier. Downgrading to versions earlier than 4.2.1 will require uninstalling and re-installing to clear out the new data formats. (#8946)

  • Changed: new serialization format improves efficiency of replication, particularly in the Big Peer. (#8946)
  • Changed: Better logging for diagnosing auth failures. (#8984)
  • Changed: Improved replication performance by introducing a small internal caching layer for commonly computed values. (#8777)
  • Fixed: The replication engine can now recover from certain filesystem corruption issues during sync instead of panicking. (#8965)
