Other

• Updated APIs for better kotlin interop support.
• Apps can now provide their own image loader.

Minor release that adds new NotificationFactory APIs to better handle limited background time when building notifications. This release also addresses ANRs from the GCM and ADM Broadcast Receiver that occur when notification building takes longer than 10 seconds when using a custom notification factory. To avoid the ANR, the braodcast will wait a max of 10 seconds before finishing received broadcast instead of waiting for the notification to finish. This will prevent the ANR from occurring, but the OS might kill the app before it has time to display the notification and it will be lost. To avoid this issue, either use NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean) to retry later if the notification is taking too long, or use NotificationFactory#requiresLongRunningTask(PushMessage) if the notification requires more than 10 seconds.

Changes

• Deprecated NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int) in favor of NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean) that also tells the factory if it has longer than 10 seconds to build the notification.
• Added listener to the Whitelist class to reject URLs.
• Added method to generate AirshipConfigOptions from a Properties instance.
