Version 2.1.1

1. Removed unnecessary fields from query params.

Version 2.1.0

1. MAJOR : Queuing system changes:
Queuing system now queues actual network requests natively. This is a major difference over queuing strings of java script to be executed later. This allows any js to be evaluated and fully executed in its correct context and separates any data gathering or collection from an actual request which is sent out to an analytics service.

• These requests are NSURLRequest objects.
• Requests which have not originated from our web view are filtered out.
• Requests which occur when offline are queued up to maximum (2500) regardless of batch size (queueDepth).
• A value of -1 for queueDepth will not queue any requests.
• A value of 0 for queueDepth is modified to be 1.
• Any other batch size will queue when online to the size of queueDepth and asynchronously dequeue when the queue is considered full.
• A new config for queueExclusions may be added as a single regex string.
• Offline queued items will dequeue upon reconnection.
• Queues will attempt to be purged regardless of batch size on app suspend.

2. MAJOR : Lifecycle Metrics
New "App Lifecycle" metrics were added into the library by default to excute at certain major and distinct points in an app's run. These are :

• App Launch
• Install
• Launch
• Upgrade
• App Suspend (exited but not quit)
• App Resume (started from suspend)
• App Page View
• App Global Events (button clicks, sliders sliding, bar items tapped, switches switched, segmented controls changed, page controls changed, steppers stepped)

New "lifecycle" member added to params object :

"lifecycle": {
   "previousSessionLength": "97",
   "hourOfDay": "15",
   "currentSessionLength": "60",
   "installDate": "2015-04-23 07:12:09 +798000",
   "launchNumber": "45",
   "daysSinceFirstUse": "5",
   "dayOfWeek": "4",
   "lastUseDate": "2015-04-28 03:29:18 +099000",
   "daysSinceLastUse": "1"
},

3. Movie Watcher has been expanded to allow finer grained control of when polling points execute.

• Offset: comma separated set of seconds from start of movie.
• Milestone: comma separated set of percentages for entire movie.
• Interval: every x numbers of seconds.
• Bug with the polling timer which would only allow the first queue point to execute was repaired.

4. Bug fixes and general updates to support new OS versions.
