Changelog

4.3.4​

January 06, 2026

Summary​

Ensures the SDK’s UI layer always reflects the current consent state/configuration by preventing stale manager references when the UI controller is reused.

Fixes​

  • UI controller now refreshes to the current consent backend when reused — Existing UI instances update to the latest consent manager instead of holding an older one.
    Why it matters: prevents outdated texts, settings, or callbacks after re-initialization or navigation; improves runtime reliability.

4.3.3​

December 16, 2025

Summary​

Improves standards compliance (IAB TCF v2.3), reduces unnecessary network requests by caching config daily, and strengthens privacy by hashing extUsrData. Also removes the previously deprecated programmatic banner timeout.

  • IAB TCF policy alignment - Consent signaling and internal evaluation logic were updated to align with the latest IAB TCF policy expectations.
    Why it matters: Maintains compatibility with downstream ad-tech and CMP partners that validate against current policy versions; reduces risk of policy drift in audits and measurement.

  • Automatic vendor disclosure updates after consent changes - The SDK now ensures that the set of vendors surfaced for disclosure remains synchronized immediately after any user consent modification.

    • Why it matters: Provides more accurate vendor transparency for compliance, auditing, and user information, especially where reporting pipelines rely on up-to-date disclosure sets.

Note: Visit IAB Tech Lab - Consent string and vendor list formats v2 to get more information about vendor disclosure

Improvements​

  • Daily config caching - The SDK reuses a configuration downloaded earlier the same day and refreshes on the next day.
    Why it matters: Cuts redundant network calls and improves app startup performance and resilience, while still ensuring a daily refresh for operational accuracy.

Fixes​

  • Hash extUsrData - The identifier used for cross-device consent is hashed before it’s included in consent records.
    Why it matters: Adds a privacy layer to reduce risk if traffic or logs are inspected.

Deprecations / Removals​

  • Removed: ConsentManager.Builder#setTimeoutInSeconds and related accessors
    Why it matters: This option was deprecated; timeout must now be configured in the Osano dashboard → Cookie Consent → Your Configuration → Styles → “Timeout Duration (in seconds)”.
    Action: Remove any usage in code; no SDK replacement API.

4.3.2​

November 24, 2025

Summary​

Modernizes the SDK toolchain and networking stack for security, performance, and long-term compatibility.

Improvements​

  • Kotlin 2.2.0 – Upgraded language/runtime for improved performance and tooling support.
  • Networking stack updates – Bumped core dependencies:
    • Retrofit 3.0.0 (from 2.11.0)
    • OkHttp Logging Interceptor 5.1.0 (from 4.12.0)
      Why it matters: Keeps transitive networking components current with the latest security and compatibility updates.

Note: If your app enforces strict dependency resolution, ensure your project is compatible with Retrofit 3.x / OkHttp 5.x to avoid version conflicts.

4.3.1​

November 19, 2025

Summary​

Adds automatic platform metadata to consent records, updates Material 3 adaptive dependencies for stability/compatibility, and clarifies extUsrData usage. Deprecates the programmatic banner timeout in favor of dashboard configuration.

New Features​

    Why it matters: Improves downstream reporting and cross-platform attribution. No code changes required.

Deprecations​

  • ConsentManager.Builder#setTimeoutInSeconds – Deprecated. Configure timeout in the Osano dashboard (Styles → Timeout Duration).
    Removal planned for 4.3.2.

Improvements​

  • Material 3 adaptive dependency updates – Aligned adaptive navigation/layout artifacts with the current Material 3 version.
    Why it matters: Better stability and compatibility when using Compose Material 3.

Documentation​

  • extUsrData guidance – Clarified usage for Cross-Device Consent and added a PII warning (only stored when Cross-Device Consent is enabled).
    Why it matters: Helps avoid misuse and ensures compliant implementations.
