v1.9.0

Version 1.9.0

Changes

• The call to the Master Switch API which blocked the onReady has been removed. (#1377)
• A couple of performance optimizations were made to this SDK. This includes progressive rendering of child components, avoidance of unnecessary cloneDeep calls, and the removal of an extraneous, expensive DOM.create call. Note that the progressive rendering is opt-in. (#1397, #1411)
• Code coverage reports of the SDK are now generated automatically. (#1409)
• The outdated sample-app was removed and the contents of docs is now up-to-date. (#1420)
• If an addComponent call fails, it no longer blocks subsequent addComponent calls. An error is simply printed to the console and the SDK attempts to render
  the other components. (#1426)
• The Core version was updated to support rich text featured snippets. (#1437)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an IE11 console error that appeared when providing DirectAnswer feedback. (#1416)

v1.8.0

Version 1.8.0

This release, a number of changes were made to the SDK. Some tech debt was addressed by changing the SDK to use both the answers-core and answers-storage libraries under the hood. Support for Boolean Facets, Document Search, and Pre-applying Facets and Filters via URL params was also added.

Changes

• We made improvements to better support Boolean facets out of the box. The values of true and false are now properly capitalized and translated. (#1335, #1359)
• The new highlightedFields attribute provided by Live API is now included on any applicable Result. This attribute contains information on what highlighting to apply to a text field or sub-field. (#1277)
• The SDK now relies on the answers-core library to perform autocomplete, search, and question submission. (#1333)
• Internally, the SDK's storage was re-worked. It is now more streamlined and is powered by the answers-storage library.
• We now distribute a THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file with the SDK. This file contains the license information of all direct and indirect dependencies. (#1347)
• A new configuration attribute was added for the FacetsComponent: transformFacets. This attribute allows you to modify the facet and facet options returned by the back-end before they are rendered on the page. (#1344, #1346)
• The rtf-converter dependency was upgraded to allow ANSWERS.formatRichText to support strike-through, superscripts, and subscripts. (#1378)
• Facets and static filters are now correctly applied from the URL parameters on page load.
• An empty search is now allowed on Universal. Further, you can also specify an empty defaultInitialSearch for Universal. (#1312)

Bug Fixes

• The SDK now enters the SEARCH_LOADING state as soon as a search is initiated. Previously, this state was entered right before the API call was made. (#1364)
• The performance of the LocationBias component was improved. Further, unwanted flashing of this component was removed. (#1365)
• Outdated and vulnerable dependencies were updated. (#1345)

v1.7.4

Bug Fixes

• Added a unique identifier to each component. This prevents a bug that led to components being unnecessarily removed from the page during a re-render. (#1371)
• Updated the rtf-converter dependency to support the new Yext Markdown strike-through syntax. (#1370)
