🦊 What's Changed 🦊

• Updated the Nimbus Gradle Plugin to fix a number of issues after migrating it to this repository (#5348)
• Good fences: protected calls out to the error reporter with a try/catch (#5366)
• Updated the Nimbus FML CLI to only import the R class if it will be used by a feature property (#5361)

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• Android and iOS: Several errors have been moved to an internal support library and will no longer be reported as top-level Nimbus errors. They should still be accessible through NimbusError.ClientError. They are: RequestError, ResponseError, and BackoffError. (#5369)

Tabs

What's Changed

The Tabs engine is now more efficient in how it fetches its records:

• The Tabs engine no longer clears the DB on every sync.
• Tabs now tracks the last time it synced and only fetches tabs that have changed since the last sync.
• Tabs will keep records for up to 180 days, in parity with the clients engine. To prevent the DB from getting too large.

autofill

What's Changed

• Fixed a bug where scrub_encrypted_data() didn't update the last sync time, which prevented the scrubbed CC data
  from being fixed.
• Don't report sentry errors when we try to decrypt the empty string. This happens when the consumer tries to decript
  a CC number after scrub_encrypted_data() is called.

logins

What's Changed

• Don't report Origin is Malformed errors to Sentry. This is a known issue stemming from FF Desktop sending us
  URLs without a scheme. See #5233 for details.

places

What's Changed

• Switch to using incremental vacuums for maintenance, which should speed up the process.
• Don't report places relative URL without a base to Sentry. This is a known issue caused by Fenix sending us URLs
  with an invalid scheme (see #5235)

v96.1.0

v96.1.0 (2022-11-29)

Full Changelog

FxA Client

What's new

• Exposed a new function for swift consumers resetPersistedState
  • resetPersistedState can be used to refresh the account manager to reflect the latest persisted state.
  • resetPersistedState should be called in between a different account manager instance persisting the state, and the current account manager persisting state
    • For example, the Notification Service in iOS creates its own instance of the account manager, changes its state (by changing the index of the last retrieved send tab)
    • The main account manager held by the application should call resetPersistedState before calling any other method that might change its state. This way it can retrieve the most up to date index that the Notification Services persisted.

What's changed

• The processRawIncomingAccountEvent function will now process all commands, not just one. This moves the responsibilty of ensuring each push gets a UI element to the caller.

FxA Client

What's changed

Full Changelog

⛅️🔬🔭 Nimbus

✨ What's New ✨

• active_experiments is available to JEXL as a set containing slugs of all enrolled experiments (#5227)
• Added Behavioral Targeting/Display Triggers accessible from JEXL for experiments and messages (#5226, #5228)
• Android only: added a new NimbusBuilder method to unify Fenix and Focus startup sequences. (5239)

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• Changed the type of customTargetingAttributes in NimbusAppSettings to a JSONObject. The change will be breaking only for Android. (#5229)
• Android only: Removed the initialize() methods in favor of NimbusBuilder class. (5239)

Logins

What's Changed

• Include a redacted version of the URL in the Sentry error report when we see a login with an invalid origin field.
• Made it so InvalidDatabaseFile errors aren't reported to Sentry. These occurs when a non-existent path is passed
  to migrateLoginsWithMetrics(), which happens about 1-2 times a day. This is very low volume, the code is going
  away soon, and we have a plausible theory that these happen when Fenix is killed after the migration but before
  SQL_CIPHER_MIGRATION is stored.

Places

What's Changed

• Report a Sentry breadcrumb when we fail to parse URLs, with a redacted version of the URL.

JwCrypto

What's Changed

• Log a breadcrumb with a redacted version of the crypto key when it has an invalid form (before throwing
  DeserializationError)
