v2.7.1 (22 May, 2018)

Bug fix

  • Fixed memory management issues rarely reported.

v2.7.0 (20 Apr, 2018)

Enhancement

  • Switched JSON Encoding/Decoding library to NSJSONSerialization from SBJSON.

    We were using an old version of SBJSON, and there was a problem of handling unicode escaped strings. From this version, JSON is handled by NSJSONSerialization.

    Behavior changes:

    • Unicode escaped strings are now correctly handled by SDK.
    • Decimal number parsing :

    SBJSON uses NSDecimanNumber for parsing JSON returned from the server, whereas NSJSONSerializaton uses binary format double. Parsed two from the same string could have a very small error.

    Example: 0.1 can be represented without any error in decimal, but with an error in binary double.

    Several libraries use different methods for representing decimal numbers. You can not expect a unified method to be used among all the system and thus need to be prepared for such errors. The best practice for avoiding such errors is always to use an integer by aligning to the smaller unit when storing data and convert the data to a suitable unit on display.

    Example: Store as 1100m rather than 1.1Km.
