CHANGELOG.md

Change Log

The change log has moved to this repo's GitHub Releases Page.

v2.4.0

• Introduce the captureIp configuration settting. For browser settings, this determines how we attempt to capture IP addresses from the client that submits items. For server settings, this determines how we capture IP addresses from requests.

  Possible values are: true, false, or anonymize.

  If true then we will attempt to capture and store the full IP address of the client. If set to anonymize we will do a semi-anonymization on the captured IP address by masking out the least significant bits. If set to false we will not attempt to capture any IP address.

  Default: true

• Introduce the captureUsername and captureEmail configuration settings. In the server context, as described in the documentation, we attempt to gather information about the current user. Prior to this release, we tried to gather the id, username, and email. Starting with this release, by default we only attempt to capture the id for a user. The boolean configuration options captureEmail and captureUsername can be used to change this behaviour.

v2.3.6

• Updates for React Native

v2.3.5

• Correct error in typescript declarations

v2.3.4

• Fix React Native undefined Regexp -> RegExp
• Minor documentation changes
• More typescript declarations

v2.3.3

• Rewrite filenames for React Native hosts to make source maps easier to work with.
• Include current item in telemetry queue to mitigate a UI issue on the backend

v2.3.2

• Be defensive about navigator not existing on window #514

• Proper scrubbing #510

• Be defensive when accessing event properties #503

• Add environment to options type enhancement #499

• call the transform in the options on the server side too #498

• fixes errMsg.match is not a function error #492

• Call callback even if logging same as last error #490

v2.3.1

• Attempt to get CDNJS to work

v2.3.0

• React Native support. This introduces a interface layer for handling Javascript errors from React Native. This library is a dependency of https://github.com/rollbar/rollbar-react-native which is intended to be the main entry point for interacting with Rollbar from React Native.

• Fix a bug related to telemetry scrubbing configuration options not being properly set via calls to configure

• BREAKING: the endpoint configuration option used to default to https://api.rollbar.com/api/1 and we would append /item/ to obtain the URL for posting items. Now the default configuration option for endpoint is https://api.rollbar.com/api/1/item/ and we no longer append /item/ to whatever value you set. Therefore, if you are currently setting this value, you will need to change your setting to be equal to the exact URL you want items posted to, rather than the base URL that gets /item/ appended.

v2.2.10

• lastError was an undocumented feature that was accidentially removed, add it back but as a function rather than as a simple property: #318
• Add a blacklist functionality similar to the host whitelist: #319
• Add a helper function for wrapping server-side callbacks: #321

v2.0.1

• Maintenance release - No new features or bugfixes

v2.0.0

This release is the first where the library supports both browser and node environments from the same package. We decided to deprecate the rollbar-browser npm package in favor of using the rollbar npm package for all javascript environments. This single codebase now handles both environments and therefore require('rollbar') can be used regardless of where the code is to be run. The node_rollbar library is now deprecated in favor of this library.

The major structural change in the library is that we no longer treat Rollbar as a singleton. In order to report errors to Rollbar, one uses a particular instance of the Rollbar notifier. For convenience, when loaded via the html snippet, we put the rollbar constructor onto the window at window.rollbar and we put an instance on the window at window.Rollbar which has been instantiated with the options set via _rollbarConfig. For most workflows, this change should not be noticable. However, there are a few cases where one might run in to trouble.

• scope: this method no longer exists, it was arguably a hack to allow something like a new instance without having to instantiate something manually because a constructor was not exposed. Instead of using scope, it works just to create a new instance var otherRollbar = new rollbar({...}). The downside being that the options passed to the constructor must be a complete set of options, not just the ones you want to override which is how scope worked. This is a minor inconvenience to pay for the flexibility of having real lifecycle ownership over your rollbar instances.
• uncaught exceptions and unhandled rejections: the choice to report uncaught exceptions and/or unhandled rejections is still made via a configuration parameter set in _rollbarConfig or in the options passed directly to the constructor. However, due to the nature of these handlers being global, we made the choice to only have one instance set as this handler. What this means is that if you create a new instance with the option captureUncaught set to true, that instance will take over as the uncaught exception handler. Similarly for captureUnhandledRejections. If you set either of these options to true in _rollbarConfig and use the snippet to load rollbar, then the convenience instance located at window.Rollbar will be setup as this handler.

• Build the library using webpack.
• Replace tracekit and use error-stack-parser.

1.2.2

• Added nojson distribution, for use on sites with a Content Security Policy that disallows unsafe-eval. (The standard distributions ship with a built-in JSON implementation, since external libraries, such as MooTools, sometimes break the brower's built-in JSON.) If you know that the built-in JSON is not being modified in your application, or you are disallowing unsafe-eval, use this distribution.

1.2.1

• Fixed bug where the global notifier not being used to atch event listener exceptions. (pr#70)

1.2.0

• Fixed AMD build to now return the notifier instance from the init() method.

1.1.16 - EDIT: This version has been removed due to finding a bug that broke backward compatibility.

• Optimized the AMD build to not create a Notifier instance until the init() method is called.

1.1.15

• Fix a bug where custom context functions that returned undefined were causing Rollbar.wrap() to throw an error.

1.1.14

• Fix a bug in IE8 where DOMException was being used even though it's not defined, (#62).

1.1.13

• Add responseText and statusText to the data reported by the jQuery ajax plugin, (pr#61).

• Fixes a bug where wrapped functions were crashing when a null callback was given to removeEventListener(), (pr#50).

1.1.10

• Pulls in the latest JSON-js changes that do not call .toJSON() if the method exists already. This was breaking because MooTools v1.2.4 sets .toJSON() to use a broken JSON stringify implementation.

1.1.9

• Always use the custom JSON implementation since some users are initializing a library that will overwrite a working JSON.stringify() with a broken one after Rollbar has checked for JSON.stringify() correctness.

1.1.8

• Added a callback function to loadFull() to support Segment.io's plugin model.

1.1.7

1.1.2

• Fixed a bug that was causing Rollbar.configure() to incorrectly handle overwriting array configuration.
• Added in support for a ignoredMessages configuration option, (pr#35).
• Fixed a bug that was causing some EventListener objects to not be unbound, (pr#33).

1.0.0-rc.9

• Fixed a bug that caused a wrapped async handler to break if there was no callback provided.

1.0.0-rc.8

• Fixed a bug that created/used a global variable.

1.0.0-rc.7

• Change default reportLevel to debug. Previously, calls to Rollbar.info and Rollbar.debug were filtered out under the default configuration; now they are let through.

1.0.0-rc.6
