+
+* [Commits](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/compare/v0.20...v0.21),
+[Milestone](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/milestone/21?closed=1),
+[API reference](https://mozilla-mobile.github.io/android-components/api/0.21/index)
+
+* Compiled against:
+ * Android support libraries 27.1.1
+ * Kotlin Standard library **1.2.61** 🔺
+ * Kotlin coroutines 0.23.4
+ * GeckoView
+ * Nightly: **63.0.20180830111743** 🔺
+ * Beta: **62.0b21** (7ce198bb7ce027d450af3f69a609896671adfab8) 🔺
+ * Release: 61.0 (785d242a5b01d5f1094882aa2144d8e5e2791e06)
+
+* **concept-engine**, **engine-system**, **engine-gecko**: Added API to set default session configuration e.g. to enable tracking protection for all sessions by default.
+ ```Kotlin
+ // DefaultSettings can be set on GeckoEngine and SystemEngine.
+ GeckoEngine(runtime, DefaultSettings(
+ trackingProtectionPolicy = TrackingProtectionPolicy.all(),
+ javascriptEnabled = false))
+ ```
+* **concept-engine**, **engine-system**, **engine-gecko-beta/nightly**:
+ * Added support for intercepting request and injecting custom content. This can be used for internal pages (e.g. *focus:about*, *firefox:home*) and error pages.
+ ```Kotlin
+ // GeckoEngine (beta/nightly) and SystemEngine support request interceptors.
+ GeckoEngine(runtime, DefaultSettings(
+ requestInterceptor = object : RequestInterceptor {
+ override fun onLoadRequest(session: EngineSession, uri: String): RequestInterceptor.InterceptionResponse? {
+ return when (uri) {
+ "sample:about" -> RequestInterceptor.InterceptionResponse("<h1>I am the sample browser</h1>")
+ else -> null
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ )
+ ```
+ * Added APIs to support "find in page".
+ ```Kotlin
+ // Finds and highlights all occurrences of "hello"
+ engineSession.findAll("hello")
+
+ // Finds and highlights the next or previous match
+ engineSession.findNext(forward = true)
+
+ // Clears the highlighted results
+ engineSession.clearFindMatches()
+
+ // The current state of "Find in page" can be observed on a Session object:
+ session.register(object : Session.Observer {
+ fun onFindResult(session: Session, result: FindResult) {
+ // ...
+ }
+ })
+ ```
+* **browser-engine-gecko-nightly**: Added option to enable/disable desktop mode ("Request desktop site").
+ ```Kotlin
+ engineSession.setDesktopMode(true, reload = true)
+ ```
+* **browser-engine-gecko(-nightly/beta)**: Added API for observing long presses on web content (links, audio, videos, images, phone numbers, geo locations, email addresses).
+ ```Kotlin
+ session.register(object : Session.Observer {
+ fun onLongPress(session: Session, hitResult: HitResult): Boolean {
+ // HitResult is a sealed class representing the different types of content that can be long pressed.
+ // ...
+
+ // Returning true will "consume" the event. If no observer consumes the event then it will be
+ // set on the Session object to be consumed at a later time.
+ return true
+ }
+ })
+ ```
+* **lib-dataprotect**: New component to protect local user data using the [Android keystore system](https://developer.android.com/training/articles/keystore). This component doesn't contain any code in this release. In the next sprints the Lockbox team will move code from the [prototype implementation](https://github.com/linuxwolf/android-dataprotect) to the component.
+* **support-testing**: New helper test function to assert that a code block throws an exception:
+ ```Kotlin
+ expectException(IllegalStateException::class) {
+ // Do something that should throw IllegalStateException..
+ }
+ ``` \ No newline at end of file
