- Fix
AnimatedImageView
not changing thetintColor
for templated images. [#1785]
7.0.0-beta.2 - Version 7 (2021-08-02)
LocalFileImageDataProvider
now loads data in a background queue by default. This prevents loading performance issue when the loading is created on main thread. [#1764]
7.0.0-beta.1 - Version 7 (2021-07-27)
- Rewrite SwiftUI support based on
@StateObject
instead of the old@ObservedObject
. It provides a stable and better data model backs the image rendering in SwiftUI. For this, Kingfisher SwiftUI supports from iOS 14 now. #1707 - Mark
ImageCache.retrieveImageInMemoryCache(forKey:options:)
asopen
to expose a correct override entry point to outside. #1703 - The
NSTextAttachment
extension method now accepts closure instead of a evaluated view. This allows delaying the passing in view to the timing which actually it is needed. #1746 - A
KFAnimatedImage
type to display a GIF image in SwiftUI. #1705 - Add a
progress
parameter to theKFImage
'splaceholder
closure. This allows you create a view based on the loading progress. #1707
- Uses
UIGraphicsImageRenderer
on iOS and tvOS for better image drawing. #1706 - An issue that prevents Kingfisher compiling on mac Catalyst target in some certain of Xcode versions. #1692
- The
KF.retry(:_)
method now accepts an optional value. It allows to reset the retry strategy by passing in anil
value. #1729 - The
placeholder
view builder ofKFImage
now works when it gets changed instead of using its initial value forever. #1707 - Some minor performance improvement. #1739
- Drop support for iOS 10, macOS 10.13, tvOS 10 and watch OS 3.
- The workaround of
KFImage.loadImmediately
is not necessary anymore due to the model switching to@StateObject
. The interface is kept for backward compatibility, but it does nothing in the new version. #1707
6.3.0 - Open To Better (2021-04-21)
- Mark
SessionDelegate
as public to allow a subclass to take over the delegate methods from session tasks. #1658 - A new
imageDownloader(_:didDownload:with:)
inImageDownloaderDelegate
to pass not onlyData
but also the wholeURLResponse
to delegate method. Now you can determine how to handle these data based on the received response. #1676 - An option
autoExtAfterHashedFileName
inDiskStorage.Config
to allow appending the file extension extracted from the cache key. #1671
- Now the GIF continues to play in a collection view cell with highlight support. #1685
- Fix a crash when loading GIF files with lots of frames in
AnimatedImageView
. Thanks for contribution from @wow-such-amazing #1686
6.2.1 - Spring Release Fix (2021-03-09)
- Revert changes for the external delegate in #1620, which caused some image resource loading failing due to a CFNetwork internal error.
6.2.0 - Spring Release (2021-03-08)
- The backend of Kingfisher's cache solution,
DiskStorage
andMemoryStorage
, are now marked aspublic
. So you can use them standalone in your project. #1649 - An
imageFrameCount
property in image view extensions. It holds the frame count of an animated image if available. #1647 - A new
extraSessionDelegateHandler
inImageDownloader
. Now you can receive the related session task delegate method by registering an external delegate object. #1620 - A new method
loadImmediately
forKFImage
to start the load manually. It is useful if you want to load the image beforeonAppear
is called.
- Drop the use of
@State
for keeping image acrossView
update forKFImage
. This should fix some SwiftUI internal crash when setting the image inKFImage
. #1642 - The image reference in
ImageBinder
now is marked withweak
. This helps release memory quicker in some cases. #1640
6.1.1 - SwiftUI Issues (2021-02-17)
- Remove unnecessary queue dispatch when setting image result. This prevents image flickering when some situation. #1615
- Now the
KF
builder methods also accept optionalURL
orSource
. It aligns the syntax with the normal view extension methods. #1617 - Fix an issue that wrong hash is calculated for
ImageBinder
. It might cause view state lost for aKFImage
. #1624 - Now the
ImageCache
will disable the disk storage when there is no free space on disk when creating the cache folder, instead of just crashing it. #1628 - A workaround for
@State
lost when using a view inside another container in aLazy
stack or grid. #1631 - Performance improvement for images with an non-up orientation in Exif when displaying in
KFImage
. #1629
6.1.0 - SwiftUI Rework (2021-02-01)
- Rewrite state management for
KFImage
. Now the image reloading works in a more stable way without task dispatching. #1604 - Add
fade
andforceTransition
modifier toKFImage
to support built-in fade in effect when loading image in SwiftUI. #1604
- When an
ImageModifier
is applied, the modified image is not cached to memory cache anymore. TheImageModifier
is intended to be used just before setting the image to a view and now it works as expected. #1612 - Now
SwiftUI
andCombine
are declared as weak link in podspec. This is a workaround for some rare case build issue. It does not affect supported deploy version of Kingfisher. #1607 - Remove header file from podspec to allow Kingfisher built as a static framework in a Swift-ObjC mixed project. #1608
6.0.1 - Bind & Hug (2021-01-05)
- Start the binder again when
KFImage
initialized, to keep the same behavior as previous versions. #1594
6.0.0 - New Year 2021 (2021-01-03)
-
A
KF
shorthand to create image setting tasks and config them. It provides a cleaner and modern way to use Kingfisher. Now, instead of usingimageView.kf.setImage(with:options:)
, you can perform chain-able invocation withKF
helpers. For example, the code below is identical. #1546// Old way imageView.kf.setImage( with: url, placeholder: localImage, options: [.transition(.fade(1)), .loadDiskFileSynchronously], progressBlock: { receivedSize, totalSize in print("progressBlock") }, completionHandler: { result in print(result) } ) // New way KF.url(url) .placeholder(localImage) .fade(duration: 1) .loadDiskFileSynchronously() .onProgress { _ in print("progressBlock") } .onSuccess { result in print(result) } .onFailure { err in print("Error: \(err)") } .set(to: imageView)
-
Similar to
KF
, TheKFImage
for SwiftUI is now having the similar chain-able syntax to setup an image task and options. This makes theKFImage
APIs closer to the way how SwiftUI code is written. #1586 -
Add support for
TVMonogramView
on tvOS. #1571 -
Some important properties and method in
AnimatedImageView.Animator
are marked aspublic
now. It provides some useful information of the decoded GIF files. #1575 -
An
AsyncImageDownloadRequestModifier
to support modifying the request in an asynchronous way. #1589 -
Add a
.lowDataMode
option to support for Low Data Mode. When the.lowDataMode
option is provided with an alternative source (usually a low-resolution version of the original image), Kingfisher will respect user's Low Data Mode setting and download the alternative image instead. #1590
- An issue that importing AppKit wrongly in a macCatalyst build. #1547
- Deprecated types, methods and properties are removed. If you are still using
Kingfisher.Image
,Kingfisher.ImageView
orKingfisher.Button
, use the equivalentKFCrossPlatform
types (such asKFCrossPlatformImage
, etc) instead. Please make sure you do not have any warnings before migrate to Kingfisher v6. For more about the removed deprecated things, check #1525. - The standalone framework target of SwiftUI support is removed. Now the SwiftUI support is a part in the main Kingfisher library. To upgrade to v6, first remove
Kingfisher/SwiftUI
subpod (if you are using CocoaPods) or remove theKingfisherSwiftUI
target (if you are using Carthage or Swift Package Manager), then reinstall Kingfisher. #1574
5.15.8 - KFImage handler (2020-11-27)
- An issue caused the
onSuccess
handler not be called when the image is already cached. #1570
5.15.7 - Cancel Lock (2020-10-29)
- A potential crash when cancelling image downloading task while accessing its original request on iOS 13 or earlier. #1558
5.15.6 - ImageBinder Callback (2020-10-11)
- Prevent main queue dispatching in
ImageBinder
if it is already on main thread. This prevents unintended flickering when reloading. #1551
5.15.5 - Cancelling Fix (2020-09-29)
- A possible fix for the crashes when cancelling a huge amount of image tasks too fast. [#1537]
5.15.4 - Farewell Objective-C (CocoaPods) (2020-09-24)
- Give
SessionDelegate
an Objective-C name so it can work with other libraries even added by a dependency which generates Objective-C header. #1532
5.15.3 - Farewell Objective-C (2020-09-21)
- Removed the unnecessary ObjC header generating and module defining due to Xcode 12 is now generating conflicted types even for different libraries. #1517
- Set deploy target for SwiftUI target and its pod spec to iOS 10 and macOS 10.12, which aligns to the settings of core framework. That resolves some dependency issues when using CocoaPods for both app target and extension targets. But it does not mean you can use the SwiftUI support on those minimal target. All related APIs are still unavailable on old system versions. #1524
5.15.2 - Xcode 11 Revived (2020-09-19)
- Fix a build error introduced by the previous SwiftUI fix for Xcode 12. Now Xcode 11 can also build the KingfisherSwiftUI target. #1515
5.15.1 - SwiftUI Layout (2020-09-16)
- A workaround for a SwiftUI issue that embedding an image view inside the
List
>NavigationLink
>HStack
hierarchy could crash the app on iOS 14. #1508
5.15.0 - Video and Text Attachment (2020-08-17)
- An
AVAssetImageDataProvider
to generate an image from a remote video asset at a specified time. All the processing gets benefits from current existing Kingfisher technologies, such as cache and image processors. #1500 - New extension methods on
NSTextAttachment
to load an image from network for an attachment. #1495 - A general clear cache method which combines clearing for memory cache and disk cache. #1494
- Now the sample app has a new look and supports dark mode, finally. #1496
5.14.1 - Summer Fix (2020-07-06)
- Early return if no valid animator in an
AnimatedImageView
. This prevents a CGImage rendering issue displaying a static image. #1428 - Enable Define Module setting to generate module map. So Kingfisher could be used in libraries imported to Objective-C projects. #1451
- A fix to workaround on implicitly initializer of queue that might cause a crash. #1449
- Improve the disk cache performance by avoiding unnecessary disk operations. #1480
5.14.0 - Retry Strategy (2020-05-13)
- A
.retryStrategy
option and associatedRetryStrategy
to define a highly customizable retry mechanism in Kingfisher. [#1424] - Built-in
DelayRetryStrategy
to provide a most common used retry strategy implementation. It simplifies the normal retry requirement when downloading an image from network. #1447 - Now you can set the round corner radius for a
RoundCornerImageProcessor
in a fraction way. This is useful when you do not know the desire image view size, but still want to clip any received image to a certain round corner ratio (such as a circle for any image). #1443 - Add an
isLoaded
binding toKFImage
to follow SwiftUI pattern better. #1429
- An issue that
.imageModifier
option not working on anImageProvider
provided image. #1435 - A workaround for making xcframework continue to work when exported with Swift 5.2 compiler and Xcode 11.4. #1444
5.13.4 - Build Configurations (2020-04-11)
- Expose all build configurations in Package.swift file for Swift Package Manager. Now you can choose the linking style by yourself. #1426
5.13.3 - Dynamic SPM (2020-04-01)
- Allows Carthage to build this library for macOS. #1413
- Explicitly specify to build as a dynamic framework for Swift Package Manager. #1420
5.13.2 - KFImage Orientation (2020-02-28)
- An issue for
KFImage
when resizing images with different EXIF orientation other than top. #1396 - A race condition when setting
CacheCallbackCoordinator
state. #1394 - Move an
@objc
attribute to prevent warnings in Xcode 11.4.
5.13.1 - Internal Warning (2020-02-17)
- Fix an unused variable warning which is on by default in Xcode 11.4 and Swift 5.2, which makes CocoaPods angry when compiling. #1393
5.13.0 - New Year 2020 (2020-01-17)
- Mark
DefaultCacheSerializer
aspublic
and enables the ability of original data caching. #1373 - Add image compression quality parameter to
DefaultCacheSerializer
. #1372 - A new
contentURL
property inImageDataProvider
to provide a URL when it makes sense. #1386
- Now, local file URLs can be loaded as
Resource
s without converted toLocalFileImageDataProvider
explicitly. #1386
5.12.0 - White Overflow (2019-12-13)
- Two error cases under
KingfisherError.CacheErrorReason
to give out the detail error information and reason when a failure happens when caching the file on disk. Check.cannotCreateCacheFile
and.cannotSetCacheFileAttribute
if you need to handle these errors. #1365
- A 32-bit
Int
overflow when calculating expiration duration when a largedays
value is set forStorageExpiration
. #1371 - The build config for SwiftUI sub-pod now only applies to the KingfisherSwiftUI scheme. #1368
5.11.0 - macCatalyst (2019-11-30)
- Support macCatalyst platform when building with Carthage. #1356
- Fix an issue that image orientation not correctly applied when an image processor used. #1358
5.10.1 - Repeat Count (2019-11-20)
- Fix a wrong calculation of
repeatCount
ofAnimatedImageView
. Now it can play correct count for an animated image. #1350 - Make sure to skip disk cache when
fromMemoryCacheOrRefresh
set. #1351 - Fix a issue which prevents building with Xcode 10. #1353
5.10.0 - Rex Rabbit (2019-11-17)
- An
.alternativeSources
option to provide a list of alternative image loadingSource
s. TheseSource
s act as a fallback when the originalSource
downloading fails where Kingfisher will try to load images from. #1343
- The
.waitForCache
option now also waits for caching for original image if the.cacheOriginalImage
is also set. #1344 - Now the
retrieveImage
methods inImageCache
calls itscallbackQueue
is.mainCurrentOrAsync
by default instead of.untouch
. It aligns the behavior of other parts in the framework. #1338 - An issue that causes customize indicator not being placed with correct size. #1345
- Performance improvement for loading progressive images. #1332
5.9.0 - Combination (2019-10-24)
- Introduce a
|>
operator for combining image processors. #1320
- Improve performance of reading task identifier when handling downloading side effect. #1310
- Improve some type conversion to boost building. #1321
5.8.3 - Carthage Cache (2019-10-09)
- Generate Objective-C header to make carthage cache work again. #1308
5.8.2 - Game of Thrones (2019-10-04)
- Fix broken semantic versioning introduced by 5.8.0. #1304
- Remove implicit animations in SwiftUI when a
.fade
animation applied in the option. Now Kingfisher respect all animations set by users instead of overwriting it internally. #1301 - Now project uses KingfisherSwiftUI with Swift Package Manager can be archived correctly. #1300
5.8.1 - Borderless (2019-09-27)
- Remove the unexpected border in
KFImage
while loading the image. #1293
5.8.0 - Xcode 11 & SwiftUI (2019-09-25)
- Add support for Swift Package Manager. Now you can build and use Kingfisher with SPM under Xcode 11 and use it in all targets.
- Add support for iPad Apps for Mac. You can use Kingfisher's UIKit extensions (like
UIImage
andUIImageView
) on a catalyst project. - Add support for SwiftUI. Build and import KingfisherSwiftUI.framework or contain the "Kingfisher/SwiftUI" subpod, then you can use
KFImage
to load image asynchronously.KFImage
provides a similar interface asView.Image
. - Add support for building as a binary framework. A zipped file containing
xcframework
and related dSYMs is provided in the release page. - A
diskCacheAccessExtendingExpiration
option to give more control of disk cache extending behavior. #1287 - Combine all targets into one. Now Kingfisher is a cross-platform target and you need to specify an SDK to build it.
- Rename too generic typealias names in Kingfisher, to avoid conflicting with SwiftUI types. Original
Kingfisher.Image
is nowKingfisher.KFCrossPlatformImage
. The similar rules are applied to other cross-platform typealias too, such asKingfisher.View
,Kingfisher.Color
and more. - A potential thread issue in
taskIdentifier
which might cause a crash when using data provider. #1276 - An issue that causes memory shortage when a large number of network images are loaded in a short time. #1270
5.7.1 - Thread Things (2019-08-11)
- Setting
runLoopMode
forAnimatedImageView
will trigger animation restart normally. #1253 - A possible thread issue when removing storage object from memory cache by the cache policy. #1255
- Manipulating on
AnimateImageView
's frame array is now thread safe. #1257
5.7.0 - Summer Bird (2019-07-03)
- Mark
cacheFileURL(forKey:)
ofDiskStorage
to public. #1214 - Mark
KingfisherManager
initializer to public so other dependencies can customize the manager behavior. #1216

- Fix a potential thread issue when checking progressive JPEG. #1220
- The deprecated
Result
extensions for Swift 4 back compatibility are removed. #1224
5.6.0 - The Sands of Time (2019-06-11)
- Support extending memory cache TTL to a specified time instead of the fixed original expire setting. Use the
.memoryCacheAccessExtendingExpiration
to set a customize expiration extending duration when accessing the image. #1196 - Add prebuilt binary framework when releasing to GitHub. Further supporting of fully compatible binary framework would come after Swift module stability. #1194
- Resizing performance for animated images should be improved dramatically. #1189
- A small optimization on MD5 calculation for image file cache key. #1183
5.5.0 - Progressive JPEG (2019-05-17)
- Add support for loading progressive JPEG images. This feature is still in beta and will be improved in the next few releases. To try it out, make sure you are loading a progressive JPEG image with a
.progressiveJPEG
options passed in. Thanks @lixiang1994 #1181 - Choose to use
Swift.Result
as the default result type when Swift 5.0 or above is applied. #1146
- Apply to some modern Swift syntax, which may also improve internal performance a bit. #1181
5.4.0 - Accio Support (2019-04-24)
- Now
maxCachePeriodInSecond
of cache would treat 0 as expiring correctly. #1160 - Normalization of image now returns an image with
.up
as orientation. #1163
5.3.1 - Prefetching Thread (2019-03-28)
- Some thread issues which may cause crash when loading images by
ImagePrefetcher
. #1150 - Setting a negative value by the deprecated
maxCachePeriodInSecond
API now expires the cache correctly. #1145
5.3.0 - Prefetching Sources (2019-03-24)
- Now
ImagePretcher
also supports usingSource
as fetching target. #1142 - An option to skip file name hashing when storing image to disk cashe. #1140
- Supports multiple Swift versions for CocoaPods 1.7.0.
- An issue that loading a downsampled image from original version might lead to different scale and potential memory performance problem. #1126
- Marking setter of
kf
wrapper asnonmutating
and seperate value/reference version ofKingfisherCompatible
. This allows mutating properties onkf
even with alet
declaration. #1134 - A regression which causes stack overflow when using
ImagePretcher
to load huge ammount of images. #1143
5.2.0 - Swift 5.0 (2019-02-27)
- Compatible with Swift 5.0 and Xcode 10.2. Now Kingfisher builds against Swift 4.0, 4.2 and 5.0. #1098
- A possible dead lock when using
ImagePretcher
heavily in another thread. #1122 - Redesign
Result
type based on SwiftResult
in standard library. Deprecatevalue
anderror
getter forKingfisher.Result
.
5.1.1 - Racing (2019-02-11)
- Deprecate incorrect
ImageCache
initializer withpath
parameter. Now use thecacheDirectoryURL
version for clearer implemetation. #1114 - Fix a race condition when setting download delegate from multiple
ImagePrefetcher
s. #1109 - Now
directoryURL
of disk storage backend is marked as public correctly. #1108
5.1.0 - Redirecting & Racing (2019-01-12)
- Add a
ImageDownloadRedirectHandler
for intercepting HTTP request which redirects. #1072
- Some thread racing when downloading and resetting images in the same image view. #1089
5.0.1 - Interweave (2018-12-17)
- Retrieving images from cache now respect options
callbackQueue
setting. #1066 - A crash when passing zero or negative size to
DownsamplingImageProcessor
. #1073
5.0.0 - Reborn (2018-12-08)
- Add
Result
type to Kingfisher. Now all callbacks in Kingfisher are usingResult
instead of tuples. This is more future-friendly and provides a modern way to make error handling better. - Make
KingfisherError
much more elaborate and accurate. Instead of simply provides the error code, nowKingfisherError
contains error reason and necessary associated values. It will help to understand and track the errors easier. - Better cache management by separating memory cache and disk cache to their own storages. Now you can use
MemoryStorage
andDiskStorage
as theImageCache
backend. - Image cache of memory storage would be purged automatically in a certain time interval. This reduce memory pressure for other parts of your app.
- The
ImageCache
is rewritten from scratch, to get benefit from new createdMemoryStorage
andDiskStorage
. At the same time, this hybrid cache abstract keeps most API compatibility from the earlier versions. - Now the
ImageCache
can receive only rawData
object and cache it as needed. - A
KingfisherParsedOptionsInfo
type to parseKingfisherOptionsInfoItem
s in related API. This improves reusability and performance when handling options in Kingfisher. - An option to specify whether an image should also prefetched to memory cache or not.
- An option to make the disk file loading synchronously instead of in its own I/O queue.
- Options to specify cache expiration for either memory cache or disk cache. This gives you a chance to control cache lifetime in a per-task grain size.
- Add a default maximum size for memory cache. Now only at most 25% of your device memory will be used to kept images in memory. You can also change this value if needed.
- An option to specify a processing queue for image processors. This gives your flexibility if you want to use main queue or if you want to dispatch the processing to a different queue.
- A
DownsamplingImageProcessor
for downsampling an image to a given size before loading it to memory. - Add
ImageDataProvider
protocol to make it possible to provide image data locally instead of downloading from network. Several concrete types are provided to load images from data format. UseLocalFileImageDataProvider
to load an image from a local disk path,Base64ImageDataProvider
to load image from a Base64 string representation andRawImageDataProvider
to provide a rawData object
. - A general
Source
protocol to define from where the image should be loaded. Currently, we support to load an image fromImageDataProvider
or from network now.
- Now CommonCrypto from system is used to calculate file name from cache key, instead of using a customized hash algorithm.
- An issue which causes
ImageDownloader
crashing when a lot of downloading tasks running at the same time. - All operations like image pretching and data receiving should now be performed in non-UI threads correctly.
- Now
KingfisherCompatible
uses struct forkf
namespacing for better performance.
4.10.1 - Time Machine (2018-11-03)
- Add Swift 4 compatibility back.
- Increase watchOS target to 3.0 in podspec.
