on GitHub

This major release contains critical bug fixes for the events API as well as new support for App User authentication.

Breaking Changes:

• EventLog stream position is now a string. The events API introduced a breaking change which modified the type of the streamPosition field from a number to a string. Any code that uses the EventLog class will need to be updated.

New Features:

• Support for App Users. The new App Users authentication process is now supported by the SDK. Examples for how to use App Users can be found in the src/example directory and additional documentation can be found in the API docs.
• Support for transferring folders between users. The BoxUser.moveFolderToUser(String) method lets a user's root folder me transferred to another user.
• Support for tasks. The tasks API is now supported, allowing for tasks to be created, modified, and assigned.
• File preview links. The BoxFile.getPreviewLink() can be used to retrieve a temporary link which allows users to preview a file's contents.

Bug Fixes:

• EventLog properly maintains event ordering. Previously, the events in an EventLog were not guaranteed to be in the same order as returned by the API.
• Fix exception when retrieving enterprise events. A StringIndexOutOfBoundsException would be thrown by EventLog.getEnterpriseEvents when the position parameter was non-zero and types parameter was an empty array.
