Release notes - web 6.4 (Jan '22)

  • Updated

Mtribes integration updates, component refactoring, bug fixes.*

Note: This release supports Responsive web and webTV apps (including Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and Xbox One).

Overview

This release delivers a number of back-end changes and bug fixes. Use the links below to jump to a specific section, or scroll down to find out more.

 

What's new

Mtribes segments and Segments Provider API

The mtribes integration has been completely rewritten and integrated through the new Segments Provider API.

This has the benefit of:

  • Allowing the injection of extra logic to extend, modify or filter the content-filtering segments
  • Applying segments to anonymous users
  • Updating segment providers asynchronously whenever the user changes
  • Collecting segments asynchronously for each API call

Breaking change: The content filtering cookie is now set by the Responsive web app, instead of by the Rocket API, and its internal representation has changed.

Note: By default, mtribes adds a large number of segments to the API calls. You’re advised to optimize or filter them before you deploy.

What's changed

Polyfill refactoring

We’ve made changes to our implementation of polyfills, a service that provides feature support for older browsers and other web targets.

Polyfills have been removed from the main bundle and are now built as a standalone module per target (Responsive web, Tizen, LG webOS, etc.). This allows them to be loaded dynamically only when required by the platform.  

Player wrapper refactoring

We’ve delivered the first phase of aligning our Responsive web and TV video players. Both now use the same, easy-to-swap media container, or ‘wrapper’, bringing efficiencies to the process of content delivery.
