8.6.0

This version adds support for 5 new locales, support for diacritics, and makes it easier to identify the host application. It also improves many of the localized system keyboards that are provided by Pro.

This version also changes the default autocomplete behavior, by making KeyboardInputViewController only use the pre-cursor part of the current word for autocomplete, which is how the native keyboard behaves.

This version also makes KeyboardKit Pro no longer overwrite custom services that are set before registering a license. This means that you can now apply custom services at any time, without it being overwritten.

This version also reduces load times and memory usage in KeyboardKit Pro, by lazily resolving localized callout action providers and layout providers, and makes all supported locales use the iPad Pro layout.

8.5.0

This version moves many types into their related namespaces, to make the SDK surface smaller and easier to overview. Since this involves many renamings, the Deprecations section below only lists deprecated types.

The library has deprecation types to help you migrate to the new type names, so you should not run into any breaking changes when migrating from earlier versions to this one.

The KeyboardState namespace has been renamed to KeyboardStatus, since it was often confused with Keyboard.KeyboardState. Keyboard.KeyboardState & Keyboard.KeyboardServices have also been renamed to the shorter Keyboard.State and Keyboard.Services, since it reads better in code.

There are new namespaces too. For instance, KeyboardApp has app-related types, KeyboardFeedback has feedback-related types, and KeyboardSettings has settings-related types.

This version also makes it easier to register custom audio & haptic feedback, in a way that requires less or no customizations in the action handler. Just register any custom feedback for any gesture on any action, and it will be triggered by the standard action handler. You can also play URL-based sound effects from custom audio files.

This version also makes the action and input callout bubbles look more native, and adds support for adding an input toolbar between the system keyboard and autocomplete toolbar.

Finally, KeyboardKit Pro makes more locales use the new iPad Pro layout. It also provides a brand new KeyboardApp.HomeScreen that can be used as an app home screen, and a new KeyboardStatus.Section that can show all relevant statuses for a keyboard app.

🚨 Important Information

• The EmojiKeyboard sub-components are now throwing as well.
