v8.0.0

October 29 2025

Added

• Add UseRawMessage parameter to SendFile and PublishFileMessage functions - when enabled, message content is sent as-is without wrapping in a "text" JSON field.
• Add CustomMessageType parameter to PublishFileMessage function to enable custom message type specification.
• Add Status and Type fields to App Context objects (Channel and UUID Metadata, Channel Members and Memberships).
• Add IfMatchETag method to SetChannelMetadata and SetUUIDMetadata to enable conditional updates that prevent overwriting metadata without fetching the latest version first.
• The HereNow method now returns a maximum of 1,000 occupants per channel. Previously, it would return all occupants regardless of count. If you have channels with more than 1,000 occupants, you must use pagination (new Limit and Offset parameters) to retrieve the complete list. BREAKING CHANGE.
• Add testable code snippets with examples for all API endpoints. Fix old snippets and remove outdated ones.

Fixed

• Fix bug where ShouldStore parameter was not being added to SendFile requests. Now correctly defaults to false. BREAKING CHANGE.
• Fix bug where SendFile function was not including Meta and other parameters in the request.
• Fix bug where Fire method was not correctly including Meta parameter in the request.

Modified

• Remove PNPushTypeMPNS push type entirely, deprecate PNPushTypeGCM and PNPushTypeAPNS, and add new PNPushTypeFCM type for Firebase Cloud Messaging. BREAKING CHANGE.
• Change PNPublishMessage.Text parameter type from string to interface{} to enable sending arbitrary JSON types in published file messages. BREAKING CHANGE.
• Remove not supported Reverse parameter from Fetch function. BREAKING CHANGE.
• Rename status field to Status in response structures to fix JSON marshalling and linter errors.
• Add missing unit and e2e tests for all API endpoints to improve code coverage.
• Change testing script to use GoTestSum for improved test output formatting and readability.
