Full Changelog

Places

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• Removed some functions related to sync interruption. These were never really completed and don't seem to be in use by iOS/Android code:
  • PlacesApi.new_sync_conn_interrupt_handle()
  • Swift only: PlacesAPI.interrupt()
• The exception variant InternalPanic was removed. It's only use was replaced by the already existing UnexpectedPlacesException. (#4847)

What's New

• The Places component will report more error variants to telemetry. (#4847)

Autofill / Logins / Places / Sync Manager, Webext-Storage

What's Changed

• Updated interruption handling and added support for shutdown-mode which interrupts all operations.

Tabs

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• The tabs component's constructor now requires the path to the database file where remote tabs will be persisted to.
• Requesting remote tabs before the first sync will now return the tabs in this database, so may be "stale".

Glean

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

Swift

• GleanMetrics should now be imported under import Glean instead of importing via MozillaRustComponents

Nimbus FML

What's Changed

• Papercut fixes for nicer developer experience #4867
  • More helpful validation error reporting
  • Better handling of defaults in objects and enum maps
  • More YAML syntactic checking.
• Allow experimenter to output to a YAML file, as well as JSON. #4874
  • If the file extension is yaml, then output as YAML, otherwise, output as JSON.

⛅️🔬🔭 Nimbus SDK

What's fixed

• Fixes a bug where disabling studies did not disable rollouts. (#4807)

✨ What's New ✨

• A message helper is now available to apps wanting to build a Messaging System on both Android and iOS. Both of these access the variables
  provided by Nimbus, and can have app-specific variables added. This provides two functions:
  • JEXL evaluation (#4813) which evaluates boolean expressions.
  • String interpolation (#4831) which builds strings with templates at runtime.

Xcode

• Bumped Xcode version from 13.1.0 -> 13.2.1

Nimbus FML

What's fixed

• Fixes a bug where each time the fml is run, the ordering of features in the experimenter json is changed. (#4819)

Places

What's Changed

• The database initialization code now uses BEGIN IMMIDIATE to start a
  transaction. This will hopefully prevent database is locked errors when
  opening a sync connection.

What's New

• The HistoryVisitInfo struct now has an is_remote boolean which indicates whether the
  represented visit happened locally or remotely. (#4810)

Nimbus FML

What's New

• The Nimbus FML can now generate swift code for the feature manifest. (#4780)
  • It can be invoked using:

  $ nimbus-fml <FEATURE_MANIFEST_YAML> -o <OUTPUT_NAME> ios features

  • You can check the support flags and options by running:

  $ nimbus-fml ios --help

  • The generated code exposes:
    • a high level nimbus object, whose name is configurable using the --classname option. By default the object is MyNimbus.
    • All the enums and objects defined in the manifest as idiomatic Swift code.
  • Usage:
    • To access a feature's value:

      // MyNimbus is the class that holds all the features supported by Nimbus
      // MyNimbus has an singleton instance, you can access it using the `shared` field:
      
      let nimbus = MyNimbus.shared
      
      // Then you can access the features using:
      // MyNimbus.features.<featureNameCamelCase>.value(), for example:
      
      let feature = nimbus.features.homepage.value()

    • To access a field in the feature:

      // feature.<propertyNameCamelCase>, for example:
      
      assert(feature.sectionsEnabled[HomeScreenSection.topSites] == true)

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• Android only: Accessing drawables has changed to give access to the resource identifier. (#4801)

  • Migration path to the old behaviour is:

  let drawable: Drawable = MyNimbus.features.exampleFeature.demoDrawable

  becomes:

  let drawable: Drawable = MyNimbus.features.exampleFeature.demoDrawable.resource

General iOS

What's changed

• Moved SwiftKeychainWrapper from an external Swift Package to be bundled with FxA. This is due to issues Firefox iOS had with their dependency tree. (#4797)
• Exposed all crates as targets for the XCFramework. (#4797)

What's new
