FDC3 Standard 2.0 - 2022-07-01

Added

  • Definition of the icons property of AppMetadata, based on PWA icon spec (#319)
  • Added support for raiseIntent without a context via the addition of the fdc3.nothing context type (#375)
  • Added FDC3 Workbench, an FDC3 API developer application (#457)
  • Added advice on how to broadcast complex context types, composed of other types, so that other apps can listen for both the complex type and simpler constituent types (#464)
  • Added the ability to return data from an intent, via the addition of an IntentHandler type and a getResult() to IntentResolution, both of which return a Promise of a Context object. (#495)
  • Added a field to specify the Context type that intent can return to the AppD Application schema and extended the findIntent API calls to be able to use it for resolution. (#499)
  • Added the ability to return a Channel from an intent (via the IntentResult type), resolver support for intents that return Channels and the concept of PrivateChannels. (#508)
  • Added error UserCancelled to the ResolveError enumeration to be used when user closes the resolver UI or otherwise cancels resolution of a raised intent (#522)
  • Added IntentDeliveryFailed to the ResolveError enumeration to be used when delivery of an intent and context to a targetted app or instance fails. (#601)
  • Added an instanceId (and optional instanceMetadata) field to AppMetadata allowing it to refer to specific app instances and thereby supporting targetting of intents to specific app instances. Also added a findInstances() function to the desktop agent and TargetAppUnavailable and TargetInstanceUnavailable Errors to the ResolveError enumeration. (#509)
  • Added a References and Bibliography section to the Standard's documentation to hold links to 'normative references' and other documentation that is useful for understanding the standard (#530)
  • Added a Trademarks page to website to acknowledge trademarks used within the Standard not owned by FINOS or the Linux Foundation (#534)
  • Added details of FDC3's existing versioning and deprecation policies to the FDC3 compliance page (#539)
  • Added a new experimental features policy, which exempts features designated as experimental from the versioning and deprecation policies, to the FDC3 compliance page (#549)
  • Added a recommended set of user channel definitions to the API docs and typescript sources (#727)
  • Added the optional exposure of originating app metadata to messages received via addContextListener and addIntentListener via the new ContextMetadata type. (#725)
  • Added the current app's AppMetadata to the ImplementationMetadata returned by fdc3.getInfo() allowing an app to retrieve its own metadata, according to the Desktop Agent (#726)
  • Added a context type representing a range of time (fdc3.timerange). (#706)
  • Added a context type representing a Currency (fdc3.currency). (#708)
  • Added a context type representing the price and value of a holding (fdc3.valuation). (#709)
  • Added a context type representing a Chart (fdc3.chart). (#715)
  • Added a context type ChatInitSettings to initialize a chat creation with new optional parameters (#620)
  • Added guide on how to submit a new Intent. (#624)
  • Added a ViewResearch Intent to be used when a user wants to see the latest research on a particular stock (#623)
  • Added a ViewProfile intent, which supersedes the ViewContact intent which is deprecated. (#619)
  • Added a ViewInteractions intent to be used when a user wants to see the latest interactions (calls, meetings, conferences, roadshows) on a particular stock or with an individual or organization. (#625)
  • Added a ViewOrders intent to be used when a user wants to see the order history of an individual, an institution or of a particular instrument. (#672)
  • Added a StartEmail intent and fdc3.email context type to be used to initiate an email with a contact or list of contacts provided as part of the context. (#632)
  • Added a definition for "app directory record" to the FDC3 glossary to be used to refer to a single appD record (#658)
  • Added /v2/ paths to the AppD's specification, allowing a single implementation to support serving both FDC3 v1.2 and v2.0 application records, enabling simpler migration (#666)
  • Added a moreInfo URL field to AppD application records to enable linking to a web page with more information on an app (#669)
  • Added lang field to AppD application records to specify the primary language of an app and its appD record. (#670)
  • Added localizedVersions field to AppD application records to support localized versions of descriptive fields in the app records and alternative launch details for localized versions of the applications themselves. (#670)
  • Added type and details elements to AppD application records to support vendor-agnostic launch details for both web and native apps (#671)
  • Added categories field and recommended categories list to AppD application records to enable category based browsing of AppDs (#673)
  • Added an interop field to AppD application records, replacing the intents field, to more fully describe an app's use of FDC3 and enable search for apps that 'interoperate' with a selected app (#697)
  • Added AppIdentifier type, which is a new parent of AppMetadata and clarifies required fields for API call parameters which now prefer appId and instanceId over name (#722)
  • Added a getAppMetdata() function to the desktop agent that can be used to retrieve the full AppMetadata for an AppIdentifier and reduced types such as IntentResolution.source and ContextMetadata.source from AppMetadata to AppIdentifier to clarify what fields a developer can rely on and that they should manually retrieve the full AppMetadata when they need it for display purposes. (#751)

Changed

  • Consolidated Listener documentation with other types (#404)
  • Updated definition of the Position context type to support negative (short) positions (#419)
  • Upgraded web access statements from SHOULD to MUST in the API specification (#440)
  • Updated copyright notices (#467)
  • Adjusted wording in API spec and documentation to acknowledge the possibility of methods of intent resolution other than a resolver UI (#461)
  • Replaced 'System channels' with 'User channels' throughout the spec, documentation, API and methods.ts. Clarified spec and documentation where it is referring to User channels vs. App channels. Added support to methods.ts for automatic fallback to getSystemChannels if getUserChannels doesn't exist. (#470)
  • Moved the Icon type definition into the Types documentation page for consistency with other types. (#493
  • The fdc3.joinChannel(), fdc3.getCurrentChannel() and fdc3.leaveCurrentChannel() functions have been made optional for FDC3 API compliance, but are recommended through the application of the SHOULD keyword. (#512)
  • All DesktopAgent and Channel API functions are now async for consistency, changing the return type of the broadcast, addIntentListener, addContextListener and getInfo functions (#516)
  • IntentResolution now requires the name of the intent raised to included, allowing it to be used to determine the intent raised via fdc3.raiseIntentForContext(). (#507)
  • The App Directory record schema (Application) has had the manifestType and manifest properties removed and replaced with the new type (required), details and hostManifests properties (#437)
  • App Directory images field was replaced with screenshots to better align the application record with web application manifest and match its format to that used by icons (#675)
  • API AppMetadata type was updated to replace the images field with a screenshots field (an array of Image objects) matching the spec of the App Directory's screenshots field entries (#736)
  • App Directory endpoint for creating applications was removed as these will often be implementation dependent and should not be required for compliance (#695)
  • App Directory endpoint for searching applications was removed as searches over multiple app directories are better implemented by retrieving all the records and searching over the resulting combined dataset (#696)
  • Extended Intent Naming conventions and added hyperlinks for existing Intent spec definitions (#701)
  • Extended recommended field type conventions for contexts to include types for ids, times, dates, currency codes and country codes. The fdc3.country context type was updated to comply with the recommended field name for country codes (COUNTRY_ISOALPHA2). (#704)
  • The intents field of an AppD application records has been replaced with the interop field, to more fully describe an app's use of FDC3 and enable search for apps that 'interoperate' with a selected app (#697)

Deprecated

  • Deprecated the ViewContact intent, which is superseded by ViewProfile (#619)
  • Removed details of the 'global' channel that was deprecated in FDC3 1.2. (#496)
  • open, raiseIntent and raiseIntentForContext function signatures that make use of the app name have been deprecated in favour of using AppIdentifier (which is a new parent of AppMetadata that clarifies required fields for API call parameters) (#722)
