See all tickets marked for the 5.15.1 release

Fixes

• Ensure the Downloader and DownloaderOperation callback the completion in atomic and never miss one #3477
• • This fix a long-term issue when multiple download request for same URL at the same time, some callbacks will missing. After fix, this will cause a brand new HTTP request but never miss any callbacks.

5.15.0 - Performance Enhancement, on Jan 17th, 2023

See all tickets marked for the 5.15.0 release

Features

Encoder

• Added encodeWithFrames API for animation encoding in custom coder, better for usage #3469
• • Previously you have to wrap SDImageFrame array into temp image object for encoding, this cause wrap/unwrap performance cost (even bad on macOS because it implicit triggers temp GIF encoding). Now you can directly pass it into new encodedDataWithFrames: APIs.

Decoder

• Update the decode solution to allows CoreGraphics avoid using any UIKit method #3468

Cache

• Seperate the SDImageCache encode queue and IO queue to match waitStoreCache behavior #3466
• • Now, the encode process does not block IO queue and query disk cache faster. Previously SDWebImageWaitStoreCache is useless when you use transformer or cache serializer. Now you MUST pass this if you want to query disk cache inside completionBlock.

Manager/Cache/Loader

• Added context option callbackQueue and SDCallbackQueue wrapper for advanced user to control which queue to callback #3465 #3457
• • If you want SDWebImage callback your completion in current non-main queue, pass .context[.callbackQueue] = .current
• Added SDWebImageContextImageEncodeOptions to pass encode options like compression quality to SDImageCache storeImage API #3466
• • The re-encode and store cache logic happens if you use transformer or custom cache serializer, now you can pass the encode options.

5.14.3 - 5.14 Opt, on Dec 27th, 2022

See all tickets marked for the 5.14.3 release

Performance

• Added ioQueueAttributes to use concurrent or control QoS for image cache internal IO Queue #3460
• When frame timestamp not reached, we should prefetch frame in advance for image render #3452

5.14.0 - Meet DecodeOptions, on Nov 8th, 2022

See all tickets marked for the 5.14.0 release

Behavior Changes

• Introduce SDWebImageContextImageDecodeOptions, deprecate SDImageCoderWebImageContext #3421
• • Note the deprecated SDImageCoderWebImageContext is no longer used. Update your codebase to use SDWebImageContextImageDecodeOptions to pass extra information from manager to coder. Loaded image will also store the same information in image.sd_decodeOptions
• Refactor the hack when multiple different thumbnail image requests for same url called at the same time #3423
• • Now the SDWebImageDownloader can callback each thumbnail request for same url with the correct image size as well (previously can't)
• • Now if manager's callback image is thumbnail (image.sd_isThumbnail == YES), or transformed (image.sd_isTransformed == YES), the callback data will be nil. This because the image does not match downloaded data actually. If you really need original full size data, query the disk cache again using the original key. You may need SDWebImageWaitStoreCache options as well. (previously behavior is undefined, may callback with full size data, or encoded small size data, or even nil)

Features

Coder

• Support use url.path or custom UTI hint passed to ImageIO, solve the TIFF/NEF/SRW raw image decoding with wrong size #3419
• • Note from 5.14.0, we may pass the file extension to coder as a UTI hint
• Added SDImageCoderDecodeUseLazyDecoding to control whether to use lazy-decoding for ImageIO #3425
• • Note from 5.14.0, by default we enable lazy decoding for static image coder, disable lazy decoding for animated image coder, suitable for most cases. If you want, pass .decodeUseLazyDecoding = YES to context option .imageDecodeOptions

Performance

• Introduce new workaround to strip CGImage retained CGImageSource on iOS 15 #3425 #3387
• • Note this also fix the limitation that you can not use lazy-decoding for animated image on iOS 15+. Pass .decodeUseLazyDecoding = YES to context option .imageDecodeOptions
• Replace conformsToProtocol call with appropriate respondsToSelector check to improve performance #3429
• Fix del redundant autoreleasepool #3388

• Added the sync API to query disk image with context and options, which matches the async version

Coder

• Feature supports encoding options like max file size, max pixel size, as well as background color when using JPEG for alpha image #2972
• You can use .encodeMaxFileSize to limit the desired lossy file size, better than compression quality
• You can use .encodeMaxPixelSize to limit the pixel size, like thumbnail encoding

Transformer

• Refactory the current thumbnail && transformer about cache key. Developer should have the API to calculate the cache key from thumbnail or transformer, not hard-coded. #2966

Context Option

• Added new query cache type support, including the SDImageCache API and context option #2968
• You use .queryCacheType to query image from memory/disk/both cache during image pipeline loading

See all tickets marked for the 5.6.0 release

Features

URLSession Metrics

• Added the URLSessionTaskMetrics support for downloader && operation, which can be used for network metrics #2937
• Typically you use custom operation class to collect all metrics in your app. You can also collect metrics for single url request level. Check the #2937 example code to grab the download token and check metrics.

Vector Image

• Feature - better support for vector format detection, now PDF rasterized bitmap is built-in #2936
• Pass .thumbnailPixelSize to control the PDF bitmap size. If you want vector PDF rendering, you still need to use SDWebImagePDFCoder.
• Vector image like SVG (via SDWebImageSVGCoder) and PDF (via SDWebImagePDFCoder), or system symbol images, can be detected by new API sd_isVector.
• Vector image does not pass to transformer by default, because they support dynamic size changing. Pass .transformVectorImage option to allow transformation.

Cache

• Add a better check to handle the cases when call storeImage without imageData #2953
• Which means, if you store image to disk without data, we will use extra information via sd_imageFormat or custom image class, to choose the the image format (including GIF and PDF) for encoding. Previously we only encode it into PNG or JPEG.

Features

Thumbnail Decoding

• Supports to load the large web image with thumbnail, control the limit size and aspect ratio #2922 #2810
• Better than resize transformer, which does not allocate full pixel RAM and faster on CPU. If you've already use transformer to generate thumbnail, you'd better have a try
• Works for both animated images and progressive images, each frame using the thumbnail decoding
• Applies for Vector Format like SVG/PDF as well, see more in Coder Plugin List

Core Image

• Support all transformer method on CIImage based UIImage/NSImage #2918
• For CIImage based UIImage/NSImage, using the CIFilter to take shortcut, which is faster and lazy (rasterize on demand)

Performances

• Using UIGraphicsImageRenderer on iOS 10+, save memory when image bitmap is RGB(-25%) or Grayscale(-75%) #2907
• Provide the polyfill APIs for firmware iOS 10- and macOS. If you already use SDGraphicsBeginImageContext for drawing, you'd better replace that instead.

See all tickets marked for the 5.1.0 release

Features

Swift Package Manager

• Add support for Swift Package Manager #2756

Options Processor

• Supports global control on options and context for individual image request #2736

Context Option

• Supports store original image to cache for transformer via SDWebImageContextOriginalStoreCacheType #2590

Project

• Follow App Store submit rule, upgrade the minimum Xcode version to Xcode 10.0 #2780
• Provide a script target to directly build all SDWebImage framework and generate all in one XCFramework from Xcode 11 #2764

Notable Behavior Changes

• Ensure we always callback user's completion block even when cancelled with SDWebImageErrorCancelled error code #2692

This may effect some users. In previous 4.0~5.0 version, we will not callback completion block when we receive cancel call. (including all View Category/Cache/Manager/Downloader APIs)

But from 5.1, we always callback on this case with error code SDWebImageErrorCancelled. You can filter this error code if you don't care about cancel.

This change makes usages like Dispatch Group, observer, or any logic which relay on the completion's callback become acceptable, which is not reliable and will cause issue in previous versions.

• Change that the sd_imageProgress property to not auto-create instance by framework #2763

Now, we don't create the NSProgress object from internal method call, this does not affect user's KVO usage.

• Change the default value of accept request header #2772

Now, the default HTTP header filed Accept, use image/*,*/*;q=0.8, instead of image/*;q=0.8.

See all tickets marked for the 4.0.0 release

Features

• Add an option to scale down large images #787 00bf467 efad1e5 8d1a0ae. Fixed #538, #880 and #586. This one is a more robust solution than #884 or #894. Can be activated via SDWebImageScaleDownLargeImages or SDWebImageDownloaderScaleDownLargeImages

Fixes

• Fixed #1668 CGContextDrawImage: invalid context 0x0 - b366d84

4.0.0 beta - New platforms (Mac OS X and watchOS) + refactoring, on Oct 5th, 2016

See all tickets marked for the 4.0.0 release

Infrastructure:

• support for watchOS and OS X platforms #1595
• the SDWebImage xcodeproj contains the following targets:
  • SDWebImage iOS static (iOS static lib)
  • SDWebImage watchOS static (watchOS static lib)
  • SDWebImage OSX (OSX dynamic framework)
  • SDWebImage iOS (iOS dynamic framework)
  • SDWebImage tvOS (tvOS dynamic framework)
  • SDWebImage watchOS (watchOS dynamic framework)
  • the SDWebImage Demo xcodeproj contains the following targets:
    • SDWebImage OSX Demo
    • SDWebImage iOS Demo
    • SDWebImage TV Demo
    • SDWebImage Watch Demo
• bumped libwep version to 0.5.1
• improved unit testing code coverage (35% -> 77%) and integrated CodeCov

Backwards incompatible changes

• removed all deprecated methods (that we carried around for backwards compatibility in previous versions) #774
• Renamed SDWebImageManager downloadImageWithURL:options:progress:completed: to loadImageWithURL:options:progress:completed: as it makes more sense, since we check the cache first and download only if needed a32a177
• Deleted targets: SDWebImage+MKAnnotation, SDWebImage+WebP, SDWebImageFramework:
  • SDWebImage target that build as a static library (all subspecs included) -> libSDWebImage.a
  • SDWebImageiOS and SDWebImagetvOS targets that build as dynamic frameworks
• Renamed the dynamic frameworks targets from WebImage to SDWebImage. Renamed the WebImage.h to SDWebImage.h to match the framework naming
• Renamed the schemes for consistency. Updated the Tests Podfile + project.
• For #883 Fix multiple requests for same image and then canceling one, several breaking changes were needed:
  • SDWebImageDownloader method - downloadImageWithURL:options:progress:completed: now returns a SDWebImageDownloadToken * instead of id <SDWebImageOperation> (give the ability to cancel downloads using the returned token)
  • SDWebImageDownloaderOperation initializer - initWithRequest:options:progress:completed:cancelled split into - initWithRequest:options and addHandlersForProgress:completed:. Note: there is no more cancel block
• Modern Objective-C syntax done in 64382b9 includes:
  • initializers now return instancetype instead of id
  • explicit designated initializers (i.e. for SDImageCache)
• For #1575 GIF support using FLAnimatedImage, several changes were needed:
  • replaced type SDWebImageQueryCompletedBlock with SDCacheQueryCompletedBlock and added an NSData * param
  • because of the change above, the done param of SDImageCache queryDiskCacheForKey:done: is now a SDCacheQueryCompletedBlock and those blocks must now include an NSData * param
  • replaced type SDWebImageCompletionWithFinishedBlock with SDInternalCompletionBlock and added an NSData * param
  • because of the change above, the completed param of SDWebImageManager loadImageWithURL:options:progress:completed: is now SDInternalCompletionBlock and those blocks must now include an NSData * param
  • for consistency with the previous change, also renamed SDWebImageCompletionBlock to SDExternalCompletionBlock
  • UIImage will no longer respond to sd_animatedGIFNamed: or sd_animatedImageByScalingAndCroppingToSize:
• Xcode 7 Objective-C updates (Lightweight Generics and Nullability) #1581
  • breaks compatibility at least for Swift users of the framework
• watchOS and OS X support #1595 required
  • renamed SDWebImage iOS static lib target to SDWebImage iOS static for clarity
• improving the unit tests code coverage #1681 required
  • Refactored NSData ImageContentType category, instead of returning the contentType as a string, the new added method sd_imageFormatForImageData will return a SDImageFormat enum value
  • SDImageCache configuration properties moved into SDImageCacheConfig (which is now available via config property):
    • shouldDecompressImages
    • shouldDisableiCloud
    • shouldCacheImagesInMemory
    • maxCacheAge
    • maxCacheSize
  • The storeImage: methods from SDImageCache were async already, but declared as sync. Properly marked them as async + added completion. Got rid of the recalculate param. If the NSData is provided, use it. Otherwise, recalculate from the UIImage
  • Removed the synchronous methods diskImageExistsForURL: and cachedImageExistsForURL: from SDWebImageManager
  • Removed the synchronous method diskImageExistsWithKey: from SDImageCache
  • Get rid of the confusion caused by cleanDisk and clearDisk on SDImageCache. Renamed cleanDisk to deleteOldFiles. No longer expose the sync clearDisk and deleteOldFiles, just the async ones.
  • Renamed SDImageCache queryDiskCacheForKey:done: to queryCacheOperationForKey:done:
  • Another SDImageCache clarification: imageFromDiskCacheForKey: used to also check the memory cache which I think is misleading. Now imageFromDiskCacheForKey only checks the disk cache and the new method imageFromCacheForKey checks both caches
  • Got rid of removeImageForKey: and removeImageForKey:fromDisk: from SDImageCache that looked sync but were async. Left only the 2 async ones
  • Removed UIImageView sd_cancelCurrentHighlightedImageLoad
• Added sd_ prefix to the activity indicator related methods (setShowActivityIndicatorView:, setIndicatorStyle:, showActivityIndicatorView, addActivityIndicator, removeActivityIndicator) #1640
• Use dispatch_main_async_safe for all the completion blocks on the main queue (used to be dispatch_sync) - avoiding locks.
• Removed dispatch_main_sync_safe as it can be mistakenly used
• Add url as param to progress block SDWebImageDownloaderProgressBlock - #984

Features:

• Switched our GIF support to a better implementation: FLAnimatedImage by Flipboard #1575
  • requires iOS 8+ (it's the only way due to FLAnimatedImage requirements)
  • the implementation relies on a WebCache category on top of FLAnimatedImageView
  • details in the README
• Converted any remaining code to Modern Objective-C syntax - 64382b9
• Xcode 7 Objective-C updates (Lightweight Generics and Nullability) #1581
• via #1595 Clarified and simplified the usage of TARGET_OS_* macros. Added SD_MAC, SD_UIKIT, SD_IOS, SD_TV, SD_WATCH. The biggest issue here was TARGET_OS_MAC was 1 for all platforms and we couldn't rely on it.
• Replaces #1398 Allow to customise cache and image downloader instances used with SDWebImageManager - added a new initializer (initWithCache:downloader:) 9112170
• UIImage responds to sd_imageData and sd_imageDataAsFormat: via the MultiFormat category. Those methods transform a UIImage to the NSData representation 82d1f2e
• Created SDWebImageDownloaderOperationInterface to describe the behavior of a downloader operation. Any custom operation must conform to this protocol df3b6a5
• Refactored all the duplicate code from our WebCache categories into a UIView WebCache category. All the other categories will make calls to this one. Customization of setting the image is done via the setImageBlock and the operationKey e1840c3
• Due to the change above, the activity indicator can now be added to UIButton, MKAnnotationView, UIImageView
• Animated WebP support #1438
• The shared objects (not really singletons) should allow subclassing, therefore the return type of the shared resource method should be instancetype and not a fixed type - c57cf7e
• Allow to specify NSURLSessionConfiguration for SDWebImageDownloader #1654
• Add url as param to progress block SDWebImageDownloaderProgressBlock - #984

Fixes:

• Fix multiple requests for same image and then canceling one #883 + 8a78586
• Fixed #1444 and the master build thanks to @kenmaz
• Fixed an issue with the SDWebImageDownloaderOperation : cancelInternal was not called because of the old mechanism rellying on the thread property - probably because that thread did not have a runloop. Removed that and now cancelInternal is called as expected f4bdae6
• Replaced #781 on replacing dispatch_sync with dispatch_async for the main queue 062e50a f7e8246 c77adf4 fdb8b2c 265ace4 0c47bc3. Check for main queue instead of main thread.
• Fixed #1619 iOS 10 crash (setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil) - #1676 7940577
• Fixed #1326 #1424 (Carthage bitcode issue) - #1593
• Fixed #1639 via #1657 (Add support for downloading images behind redirect)
• Replaced #1537 via 9cd6779 - fixed a potential retain cycle
• Updated dispatch_main_async_safe macro in order to avoid redefinition when included as Pod
• Fixed #1089 by updating the docs on the calling queue for the progressBlock (background queue)
• Fixed a compilation issue on FLAnimatedImageView+WebCache - #1687

3.8.2 Patch release for 3.8.0 on Sep 5th, 2016

Fixes:

• Fixed #1608 #1623 #1644 Crash in [NSURLCache cachedResponseForRequest:] - the fix is actually avoiding to access NSURLCache which appears to generate a race condition. We only call it if necesarry (SDWebImageRefreshCached is used and the image cannot be cached by the system when it's too big or behind authentication)

3.8.1 Patch release for 3.8.0 on Jun 7th, 2016

Fixes:

• SDWebImage 3.8.0 get wrong image #1589 - the issue was caused by the changes in 3.8.0 (Removed the URL query params from the filename (key) fb0cdb6d 1bf62d4 #1584 - fixes #1433 #1553 #1583 #1585) - Reverted.
• Note: The solution for those issues (i.e. #1433 #1553) is to set the SDWebImageManager cacheKeyFilter block and do their own calculations there.
