• General:
  • Glean will now detect when the upload enabled flag changes outside of the application, for example due to a change in a config file. This means that if upload is disabled while the application wasn't running (e.g. between the runs of a Python command using the Glean SDK), the database is correctly cleared and a deletion request ping is sent. See #791.
  • The events ping now includes a reason code: startup, background or max_capacity.
• iOS:
  • BUGFIX: A bug where the metrics ping is sent immediately at startup on the last day of the month has been fixed.
  • Glean for iOS is now being built with Xcode 11.4.0
  • The measure convenience function on timing distributions and time spans will now cancel the timing if the measured function throws, then rethrow the exception (#808)
  • Broken doc generation has been fixed (#805).
• Kotlin
  • The measure convenience function on timing distributions and time spans will now cancel the timing if the measured function throws, then rethrow the exception (#808)
• Python:
  • Glean will now wait at application exit for up to one second to let its worker thread complete.
  • Ping uploading now happens in a separate child process by default. This can be disabled with the allow_multiprocessing configuration option.
