v4.1.0

Ktor 3.0.0

Version 4.1.0 updates usages of Ktor from 2.3.11 to 3.0.0:

• If you are using apollo-runtime-js or apollo-debug-server-jvm, you need to update your app to Ktor 3.0.0+ at the same time as updating to Apollo 4.1.0 (apollo-debug-server-android is unaffected).
• If you are using the deprecated apollo-mockserver or apollo-ktor-support from this repo, you need to update to the new coordinates.

All other cases are unaffected. In particular, apollo-runtime on Android and iOS uses OkHttp and NsUrlConnection respectively and is not impacted by the Ktor update.

You can read more details in the pull request.

New media type: application/graphql-response+json

application/graphql-response+json is a new media type being introduced by the GraphQL over HTTP draft. It allows differentiating a valid GraphQL response from an error JSON response that could be transmitted by a cache or proxy in the HTTP chain.

If your server uses application/graphql-response+json and returns non-2xx response, Apollo Kotlin will now parse those responses and expose data and errors instead of returning an ApolloHttpException before.

K2 support for the IntelliJ plugin

The IntelliJ plugin is now compatible with K2 (#6150)

v4.0.1

This release contains a handful of bug fixes and improvements.

⚙️ Add ApolloCompilerPlugin.schemaListener()

The compiler plugins API has been extended to allow listening to schema changes.
This can be used to have plugins generate code based on the schema. To do this, implement the schemaListener
function on your plugin:

class MyCompilerPlugin() : ApolloCompilerPlugin {
  @ApolloExperimental
  override fun schemaListener(): SchemaListener {
    return object : SchemaListener {
      override fun onSchema(schema: Schema, outputDirectory: File) {
        // Generate some code inside outputDirectory based on schema
      }
    }
  }
}

🚀 Allow mapping scalars to simple generic types

Previously, to map a scalar to a generic type, you had to use a typealias.
Now, simple generic types are accepted, and common types like List and String don't need to be fully qualified:

mapScalar("MassList", "List<com.example.Measure<com.example.Mass>>", "com.example.MassListAdapter")

v4.0.0

Apollo Kotlin 4 is a maturity release. It focuses on tooling, stability and making the library more maintainable, so it can evolve smoothly for the many years to come.

While most of the core APIs stayed the same, Apollo Kotlin 4 contains a few binary breaking changes. To account for that, and in order to be more future-proof, we changed the package name to com.apollographql.apollo.

You need to replace all the com.apollographql.apollo3 with com.apollographql.apollo in your codebase.

• Migration guide: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/kotlin/migration/4.0.
• Evolution policy: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/kotlin/essentials/evolution.

v4.0.0-rc.2

We're on the road to v4 with this second release candidate which includes a few minor tweaks as well as one new feature.

Note: in v4.0.0-rc.1 apollo-debug-server and apollo-tooling depended on com.apollographql.apollo3 artifacts. This is no longer the case with v4.0.0-rc.2, where all dependencies are under the com.apollographql.apollo group id.

Add memoryCacheOnly (#6049)

.memoryCacheOnly(true) can be set on calls to read and store records in the memory cache only even when a persistent cache is configured.
This can be useful in scenarios where long term storage isn't needed and performance is important.

• [gradle-plugin] Use a better warning for Service.schemaFile users (#6036)
• [all] Update apollo-kotlin-execution (#6040)
• [IJ Plugin] Add com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-api-jvm to dependencySupport (#6039)

• [gradle-plugin] Disable service-loading ApolloCompilerPlugin (#6059)

v3.8.5

Version 3.8.5 is a maintenance release. New developments happen in the 4.x versions.

• [codegen] Fix mapping of the builtin Float scalar type (#6047)
• [normalized-cache] SqlNormalizedCacheFactory make sqldriver public to support Sqlcipher data encryption. (#5972)

v4.0.0-rc.1

New package name & evolution policy

We changed the package name from com.apollographql.apollo3 to com.apollographql.apollo for version 4. This is a safe default for the many years to come and works well with our new evolution policy.

If you are updating from version 3 or an alpha/beta version 4, you need to replace all com.apollographql.apollo3 with com.apollographql.apollo

Apollo galaxy

As part of this release, some of the non-core artifacts have been moved to separate coordinates and GitHub repositories. Moving forward, this will allow us to iterate faster on those artifacts while keeping the core ones more maintainable.

Some of the existing symbols are kept as deprecated to ease the transition (like MockServer for an example). Others (the -incubating ones) have been removed, and you need to update them now.

You can read more in the migration guide.

• [normalized-cache] Use a single transaction when using MemoryCache chaining (#5861)
• [normalized-cache] Call through to loadRecords from the MemoryCache to the SQL one (#5863)

v4.0.0-beta.6

SQL cache performance improvements

If you're using a chained memory + SQL cache, #5840 makes sure cache writes are wrapped in a transaction, making them much faster.

Apollo Compiler Plugins

Plugin is renamed to ApolloCompilerPlugin. There is a new documentTransform API as well as other fixes. More details in the compiler plugins documentation.

Experimental WebSockets

A new .websocket package is available that makes it easier to retry WebSockets and handle errors. More details and migration guide in the experimental websockets documentation.

ApolloIdlingResource is deprecated

We recommend using reactive patterns to test your UI instead. See this article about ways to do so.

Removed androidx.startup dependency

androidx.startup was introduced in beta.5 but is problematic for unit tests and other cases. beta.6 removes that dependency. More details in the network connectivity documentation.

WasmJS support for apollo-adapter

You can see Wasm in action at https://wasm.confetti-app.dev/

Threading changes

In a effort to minimize the number of thread switches, the whole request is now run in the same dispatcher. See Threading.md for more details.
