BREAKING CHANGES

AndroidApplication.currentContext in tns-core-modules/application module is now removed.

Use AndroidApplication.startActivity, AndroidApplication.foregroundActivity, or AndroidApplication.context properties instead.

start(...) method in tns-core-modules/application module is now removed.

Use application.run(...) method instead. Check the "Flexible Frame Composition" section in this document that explains the full migration path from application.start(...) to application.run(...) and the implications from this change

loadPage(...) method in tns-core-modules/ui/builder module is now removed.

Use createViewFromEntry(entry: NavigationEntry) method in tns-core-modules/ui/builder module instead.

tns-core-modules/ui/core/dependency-observable module is now removed.

Use tns-core-modules/ui/core/properties module instead.

ViewBase.showModal(), ViewBase.showModal(moduleName: string, context: any, closeCallback: Function, fullscreen?: boolean, animated?: boolean, stretched?: boolean): ViewBase, and ViewBase.showModal(view: ViewBase, context: any, closeCallback: Function, fullscreen?: boolean, animated?: boolean, stretched?: boolean): ViewBase method overloads are now removed.

Use ViewBase.showModal(moduleName: string, modalOptions: ShowModalOptions): ViewBase or ViewBase.showModal(view: ViewBase, modalOptions: ShowModalOptions): ViewBase instead.

Frame.androidOptionSelectedEvent and AndroidOptionEventData interfrace in tns-core-modules/ui/frame module are now removed.

Event not raised by NativeScript core framework anymore.

AndroidFrame.cachePagesOnNavigate in tns-core-modules/ui/frame module is now removed.

Not used internally in NativeScript core framework anymore.

stack() method in tns-core-modules/ui/frame module is now removed.

Use getFrameById(...) method if you want to retrieve a frame different than the topmost one instead.

AndroidActivityCallbacks.onCreate(activity: any, savedInstanceState: any, superFunc: Function) method overload in tns-core-modules/ui/frame module is now removed.

Use AndroidActivityCallbacks.onCreate(activity: any, savedInstanceState: any, intent: any, superFunc: Function) instead.

WebView.url property in tns-core-modules/ui/web-view module is now removed.

Use WebView.src property instead.

ios.getter(...) function in tns-core-modules/utils module is now removed.

Use the respective native property directly instead.

View.observe(...) method in tns-core-modules/ui/core/view module is now removed.

Use View.on(...) method instead.

The addedCount variable from ObservableArray.splice(...) change event is always the amount of added items.

Migration steps: The old addedCount can be obtained by const addedCount = event.addedCount - event.removed.length

Fix to cancel contradictory gesture events (e.g. tap and double tap) introduces the following behavior breaking change

Before:

iOS / Android:
- double tap: child tap -> parent tap -> child double tap -> parent double tap
- tap: child tap -> parent tap

After:

iOS:
- double tap: child double tap
- tap: child tap
Android:
- double tap: child double tap -> parent double tap
- tap: child tap -> parent tap

Migration steps: Move event handlers accordingly.

iOS: Safe Area Support (#6230) (982acdc)
iOS: update platform declarations (f54f71b)

BREAKING CHANGES

android: NativeScript core framework now extends support library APIs versus native framework classes as per Google's latest guidelines (#6129) (cf034dd):
- NativeScript activities now extend android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity (vs android.app.Activity)
- NativeScript fragments now extend android.support.v4.app.Fragment (vs android.app.Fragment)
- NativeScript now works internally with android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager (vs android.app.FragmentManager)

The implications of these changes should be mostly transparent to the developer except for the fact that the support library Fragment / FragmentManager work with Animation APIs versus Animator APIs.

For Android API Levels lower than 28 the new Fragment API uses a different fragment enter animation by default. You can customise the transition per navigation entry or globally via the navigation transitions API Before: Default fragment enter animation was fade animation

After: Default fragment enter animation for API levels lower than 28 is now a fast "push fade" animation; default fragment enter animation for API levels equal to or greater than 28 remains fade animation

Layout class (tns-core-modules/ui/layouts/layout) is now removed as it is not used in {N} framework any more.

Before: Built-in {N} layouts GridLayout, StackLayout, WrapLayout, etc. extended Layout class

After: Built-in {N} layouts GridLayout, StackLayout, WrapLayout, etc. now extend LayoutBase class

To migrate your code follow the example below:

Before:

import { Layout } from "ui/layouts/layout";
// ...

let wrapLayout: Layout;

export function pageLoaded(args: EventData) {
     const page = <Page>args.object;
     wrapLayout = page.getViewById<Layout>("wrapLayout");
 }

After:

import { LayoutBase } from "ui/layouts/layout-base"; // or import { WrapLayout } from "ui/layouts/wrap-layout;
// ...

let wrapLayout: LayoutBase; // or let wrapLayout: WrapLayout;

export function pageLoaded(args: EventData) {
     const page = <Page>args.object;
     wrapLayout = page.getViewById<LayoutBase>("wrapLayout"); // or wrapLayout = page.getViewById<WrapLayout>("wrapLayout"); 
 }

android: change androidOffscreenTabLimit to 1 when using bottom tabs of tab-view(#6476) (371fc9b)
ios: widgets native view lifecycle refactoring - native view is now created right before they are added to visual tree (#6102) (46705ee):

The iOS widgets native view lifecycle now matches the Android widgets. Before, the iOS native view was created in the widget constructor and you could manipulate the native view right after the widget is instantiated. After the refactoring, the widget's native view will be created when it's added to the visual tree. The most correct way to manipulate the native view is in the loaded event handler.

Before:

import { Button } from "ui/button";
// ...

const button = new Button();
button.nativeView.someNativeAPIMethod();

After:

import { Button } from "ui/button";
// ...

const button = new Button();
button.on("loaded", () => {
    button.nativeView.someNativeAPIMethod();
});

ios: Widgets that inherit the ContainerView class now overflow the safe area by default (#6230) (982acdc):

These are: AbsoluteLayout, DockLayout, GridLayout, StackLayout, WrapLayout, FlexboxLayout, ScrollView, ListView, WebView and Repeater.

The change is that now if these widgets touch the edge of the safe area, they will be automatically expanded to the edge of the screen. This will change their width and height. Margins and paddings will still be applied only in the safe area. This behavior can be reverted to the old one by setting the iosOverflowSafeArea property of the widget to false.

BREAKING CHANGES

typings:
- There is no longer added I prefix in the names of the interfaces. For example, android.view.IMenuItem is now android.view.MenuItem. This matches the original name of the interface in the Android framework.
- We are now generating only public methods, so all the methods which you override when extending Android class should be public.
- You need to use Array<string> (lowercase string) instead of Array<String> (uppercase String) when overriding a method accepting string array type.

BREAKING CHANGES

ios-layout Frame, Page and TabView measure/layout methods no longer used. We now rely on the iOS to position these controls. As a result width, height, minWidth, minHeight, margins won't be respected on these controls
ios-layout Layouts for ViewContollers now implemented with UILayoutGuide (requires iOS 9)
tabview TabViewItems are now loaded/unloaded on demand - when they will be displayed.
webpack: Extending classes requires marking the derived class with @CSSType The root classes are not marked with CSSType and classes derived from ViewBase and View will continue to work as expected. More concrete view classes (Button, Label, etc.) are marked with @CSSType now and store their cssType on the prototype suppressing the previous implementation that looked up the class function name. So clien classes that derive from one of our @CSSType decorated classes will now have to be marked with @CSSType.
android-images: change decodeHeight/decodeWidth properties to accept device independent pixels by default
image-source: Change the return type of setNativeSource method from boolean to void.

Breaking changes

(#242) View and GesturesObserver classes have some breaking changes related to gesture operations

1.0.0 (2015, April 29)

New

New options for camera module. Added a resizing options along with keep-aspect-ratio options. More information about how to use it can be found at the dedicated camera help article.
First-file search order changed. Now package.json is searched first, then index.js and bootstrap.js is being searched last.

Fixed

Taking a full size picture in Android with NativeScript camera module.
Pages no longer freeze on cancelling back-navigation via swipe gesture.
Items having verticalAlignment set to center now have correct layout bounds.
Camera for iOSs no longer throws a Null pointer error.
iOS dialog OK button now appears last.

Breaking changes

image-cache now stores native image instances, i.e., android.graphics.Bitmap or UIImage.
Image.src property is now of type any and can accept either a string containing an image url or a native image instance.
Gesture-related enum values changed to start with a small letter in order to be consistent with all other enums within NativeScript. For example, "gesturesModule.GestureType.Tap" should be used like "gesturesModule.GestureType.tap".
knownEvents modules within all UI controls are removed and replaced with a static string values. In that case, all possible events will be visible through the inheritance tree. These static strings have an Event suffix. Every place where viewModule.knownEvents.loaded is used should be changed to viewModule.View.loadedEvent or pageModule.Page.loadedEvent. This change is relevant to code-behind only (xml declaration will not be affected).

0.10.0 (2015, April 17)

Fixed

New

In addition to binding converters introduced in version 0.42 static (global) place for most common converters is added. This place is named application.resources. More information about how to use it can be found in the special help topic: Data binding.
Using plain objects (numbers, strings also an entire object) as binding context via $value. More information can be found at the dedicated Data binding help topic.

Breaking changes

Image: url property renamed to src.
Image: source property renamed to imageSource.
TabView: TabEntry renamed to TabViewItem.
Module local-settings changed to application-settings. Only the name of the module is changed (API remains the same), hence the require statements must be updated, i.e., require("local-settings") should be changed to require("application-settings").
