Hi all,
I had promised it months ago... and it's finally here! I published one week ago the first beta release of ACRA v4. It finally is a v4, because there have been so many changes since ACRA 3.1 that a simple 3.2 version was just not realistic enough! The archive can be downloaded here: http://code.google.com/p/acra/downloads/detail?name=acra-4.0.0b.zip Some documentation: - Setup instructions: http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/BasicSetup - Advanced usage: here: http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/AdvancedUsage - Reports fields (old and new): here: http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/ReportContent - For maven users, a repository is now available: are listed here: http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/Maven What are the most significant changes ? Full details are available in the ChangeLog (http://code.google.com/p/acra/wiki/ChangeLog) but lets sum this up: - New data added to reports: - logcat: default, events, radio (requires READ_LOGS permission) - result of 'dumpsys meminfo' for your application process - application version code - phone device id (requires READ_PHONE_STATE permission) - text events from the system dropbox (requires READ_LOGS) - application start date - device features - report unique id - application installation unique id - external storage state - settings (system and secure) - is silent ? - As requested by many, a report should only be notified once to the user. Reports which could not be sent due to bad network are still sent but without annoying the user anymore. - You can now implement your own Report Sender and do whatever you want with reports data on the device. - Basic HTTP Authentification is available for those using the formUri parameter to send reports to a custom script - Reports can be sent by a mail Intent, for applications where INTERNET permission is not wanted - New SharedPreferences items: - include system logs (may contain private data) - include Device ID (IMEI) (this a private identifier) - include user email (the user inputs his email address in the preference field) - always accept sending reports - The crash report dialog can now include an email field. The content of this field is saved in SharedPreferences. - All android build related fields have been merged in a single BUILD field - You can define which fields will be collected and sent. This can improve performance and allow you to get rid of the fields you never read. Lots of things have been rewritten, so this beta phase will last around a month so that we can ensure that there is no major issue using ACRA v4 instead of ACRA v3. As I have really limited time to do deep testing, ACRA relies on your testing and bug reports! Thank you all!
