1.0.0-beta24

[1.0.0-beta24] - 2019-09-13

This is the last beta release. The GA release 1.0.0 will be identical to this, other than the version number. This release is listed separately so beta testers can see what changed since beta23. The CHANGELOG.md file will now be reset to include only GA releases.

Added:

• LdValue now has methods for converting to or from a list or dictionary, rather than using the Newtonsoft.Json types JArray and JObject.
• HTML documentation for all public types, methods, and properties is now available online.

Changed:

• The new name of ImmutableJsonValue is LdValue.
• The SDK no longer has a dependency on Xam.Plugin.DeviceInfo.
• When accessing a floating-point flag value with IntVariation, or converting a floating-point LdValue to an int, it will now truncate (round toward zero) rather than rounding to the nearest integer. This is consistent with normal C# behavior and with most other LaunchDarkly SDKs.

Removed:

• All public methods and properties now use LdValue instead of JToken.

Fixed:

• Fixed a bug that caused a string flag value that is in an ISO date/time format, like "1970-01-01T00:00:01.001Z", to be treated as an incompatible type by StringVariation (because Newtonsoft.Json would parse it as a DateTime by default).
• On Android, an HTTP connection timeout could leave a connection attempt still happening in the background-- even though the timeout would still happen normally as far as the SDK was concerned-- until the default timeout for the Android HTTP handler elapsed, which is 24 hours. Now it will properly stop the connection attempt after a timeout.
• Fixed an implementation problem that caused excessive overhead for flag evaluations due to unnecessary JSON parsing.
