mmkv 1.3.6

An efficient, small mobile key-value storage framework developed by WeChat. Works on Android & iOS.

MMKV for Flutter Change Log

v1.3.6 / 2024-07-05

• Android: MMKV will try to load libmmkv.so before Dart code, to reduce the error of loading library in Android.
• Android: Use the latest ashmem API if possible.
• Android: Use the latest API to get the device API level.

v1.3.5 / 2024-04-24

• Migrate to federated plugins to avoid the iOS rename headache. From now on, no more renaming from mmkv to mmkvflutter is needed.
• Bump iOS Deployment Target to iOS 12.
• Bump Android minSdkVersion to 23.

v1.3.4 / 2024-03-15

• Make trim() more robust in multi-process mode.

v1.3.3 / 2024-01-25

• Add removeStorage() static method to safely delete underlying files of an MMKV instance.
• Add protection from a potential crash of a multi-process MMKV loading due to the MMKV file not being valid.
• Add back the lazy load feature. It was first introduced in v1.2.16. But it was rollbacked in v1.3.0 of potential ANR & file corruption. Now it's clear that the bug was caused by something else, it's time to bring it back.
• Optimize loading speed by using shared inter-process lock unless there's a need to truncate the file size, which is rare.
• Make these two lately added features more robust: customizing the initial file size & optimizing write speed when there's only one key inside MMKV.
• On the Xcode 15 build, an App will crash on iOS 14 and below. Previously we have recommended some workarounds (check the v1.3.2 release note for details). Now you can use Xcode 15.1 to fix this issue.

v1.3.2 / 2023-11-20

Among most of the features added in this version, the credit goes to @kaitian521.

• Add the feature of customizing the initial file size of an MMKV instance.
• Optimize write speed when there's only one key inside MMKV, the new key is the same as the old one, and MMKV is in SINGLE_PROCESS_MODE.
• Optimize write speed by overriding from the beginning of the file instead of append in the back, when there's zero key inside MMKV, and MMKV is in SINGLE_PROCESS_MODE.
• Add the feature of clearAll() with keeping file disk space unchanged, reducing the need to expand file size on later insert & update operations. This feature is off by default, you will have to call it with relative params or newly added methods.
• Add the feature of comparing values before setting/encoding on the same key.
• Fix a potential bug that the MMKV file will be invalid state after a successful expansion but a failure zeroFill(), will lead to a crash.
• Fix a potential crash due to other module/static lib turn-off RTTI, which will cause MMKV to fail to catch std::exception.
• Fix several potential crash due to the MMKV file not being valid.
• Android: Use the -O2 optimization level by default, which will reduce native lib size and improve read/write speed a little bit.
• Android: Experimantal use @fastNative annotation on enableCompareBeforeCompare() to speed up JNI call.
• Turn-off mlock() protection in background on iOS 13+. We have verified it on WeChat that the protection is no longer needed from at least iOS 13. Maybe iOS 12 or older is also not needed, but we don't have the chance to verify that because WeChat no longer supports iOS 12.

Known Issue

• On Xcode 15 build, App will crash on iOS 14 and below. The bug is introduced by Apple's new linker. The official solutions provided by Apple are either:
  • Drop the support of iOS 14.
  • Add -Wl,-weak_reference_mismatches,weak or -Wl,-ld_classic options to the OTHER_LDFLAGS build setting of Xcode 15. Note that these options are not recognized by older versions of Xcode.
  • Use older versions of Xcode, or wait for Xcode 15.2.

v1.3.1 / 2023-8-11

This is a hotfix version. It's highly recommended that v1.2.16 & v1.3.0 users upgrade as soon as possible.

• Fix a critical bug that might cause multi-process MMKV corrupt. This bug was introduced in v1.2.16.
• Add the ability to filter expired keys on count() & allKeys() methods when auto key expiration is turn on.
• Reduce the msync() call on newly created MMKV instances.

v1.3.0 / 2023-06-14

• Add auto key expiration feature. Note that this is a breaking change, once upgrade to auto expiration, the MMKV file is not valid for older versions of MMKV (v1.2.16 and below) to correctly operate.
• Roll back the lazy load optimization due to reported ANR issues. It was introduced in v1.2.16.
• The version is now the same as the MMKV native library.
• Starting from v1.3.0, Flutter for Android will use com.tencent:mmkv. Previously it's com.tencent:mmkv-static. It's the same as com.tencent:mmkv starting from v1.2.11.

v1.2.17 / 2023-04-20

• Optimization: The actual file content is lazy loaded now, saving time on MMKV instance creation, and avoiding lock waiting when a lot of instances are created at the same time.
• Fix a bug when restoring a loaded MMKV instance the meta file might mistakenly report corrupted.
• Fix a crash on decoding an empty list.
• Remove deprecated dependence.
• Make the script more robust to fix the iOS Flutter plugin name.
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.16.

v1.2.16 / 2023-01-12

• Reduce the privacy info needed to obtain android sdkInt, avoid unnecessary risk on Android App Review.
• Log handler now handles all logs from the very beginning, especially the logs in initialization.
• Log handler register method is now deprecated. It's integrated with initialize().
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.15.

• Fix a bug that MMKV.decodeXXX() may return invalid results in multi-process mode.
• Upgrade to Flutter 3.0.
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.14.

• Replace the deprecated device_info package with device_info_plus.
• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.13.

v1.2.13 / 2022-01-17

• Fix a bug that a subsequential clearAll() call may fail to take effect in multi-process mode.
• Hide some OpenSSL symbols to prevent link-time symbol conflict, when an App somehow also static linking OpenSSL.

• Keep up with MMKV native lib v1.2.11.

v1.2.11 / 2021-06-25

• Bug Fixed: When building on iOS, occasionally it will fail on symbol conflict with other libs. We have renamed all public native methods to avoid potential conflict.

• Bug Fixed: When calling MMKV.encodeString() with an empty string value on Android, MMKV.decodeString() will return null.
• Bug Fixed: After upgrading from Flutter 1.20+ to 2.0+, calling MMKV.defaultMMKV() on Android might fail to load, you can try calling MMKV.defaultMMKV(cryptKey: '\u{2}U') instead.
