CrossFireSync version 0.0.4 was released on August 1, 2024. This release addresses an important API visibility issue that was preventing developers from fully utilizing the cross-region processing capabilities introduced in v0.0.3.

What’s New

The v0.0.4 release makes two key model classes publicly accessible:

  • PubSubMessage - Now a public class for representing Firestore change messages
  • PubSubPublish - Now a public class for constructing publish messages

These classes have also been reorganized into a dedicated pubsub.model subpackage for better code organization and discoverability.

Why It Matters

Version 0.0.3 introduced a new architecture designed to decouple processing logic from CloudEvent-specific code, enabling developers to deploy their synchronization logic on either Cloud Functions or Cloud Run. However, an oversight left the core message classes package-private, effectively blocking external developers from using the intended Cloud Run deployment pattern.

This release corrects that issue. External developers can now:

  • Instantiate PubSubMessage objects directly in their own code
  • Use the cross-region processing patterns with Cloud Run deployments
  • Leverage the full flexibility of the v0.0.3 architecture

Breaking Change Notice

If your code references PubSubMessage or PubSubPublish classes directly, you’ll need to update your import statements:

Old (v0.0.3):

import com.unitvectory.crossfiresync.PubSubMessage;
import com.unitvectory.crossfiresync.PubSubPublish;

New (v0.0.4):

import com.unitvectory.crossfiresync.pubsub.model.PubSubMessage;
import com.unitvectory.crossfiresync.pubsub.model.PubSubPublish;

Upgrade Instructions

To upgrade to v0.0.4, update your Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>crossfiresync</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.4</version>
</dependency>

The library still requires Java 17 and maintains full compatibility with all other v0.0.3 functionality beyond the import changes noted above.
