• Breaking Migrated to androidx packages (Big thanks to jeffreydelooff!)

• Breaking The Carousel.Padding class changed the ordering of its parameters to match Android's ordering of "left, top, right, bottom". (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/536 thanks to martinbonnin)

  This change won't break compilation, so you must manually change your parameter ordering, otherwise you will get unexpected padding results.

This release adds built in support for monitoring visibility of views in the RecyclerView. (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/560)

Usage instructions and details are in the wiki - https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/wiki/Visibility-Events

Huge thanks to Emmanuel Boudrant for contributing this!

• New A new PagedListEpoxyController to improve integration with the Android Paging architecture component (#533 Thanks to Yigit!)
  With this change the old PagingEpoxyController has been deprecated, and the wiki is updated.

• New Add databinding option to not auto apply DoNotHash (#539)

• Fixed Fix AsyncEpoxyController constructor to correctly use boolean setting (#537)

• Fixed app_name is removed from module manifests (#543 Thanks @kettsun0123!)

• New Add support for setting the Padding via resource or directly in dp (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/528 Thanks to pwillmann!)
• Fixed Strip kotlin metadata annotation from generated classes (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/523)
• Fixed Reflect the annotations declared in constructor params (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/519 Thanks to Shaishav Gandhi!)

This refactors Epoxy to use the new Androidx libraries instead of the old support libraries (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/issues/429)

Huge thanks to jeffreydelooff for doing all the tedious migration work!

• New EpoxyAsyncUtil and AsyncEpoxyController make it easier to use Epoxy's async behavior out of the box
• New Epoxy's background diffing posts messages back to the main thread asynchronously so they are not blocked by waiting for vsync

• Fix Kotlin lambdas can be used in model constructors (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/501)
• New Added function to check whether a model build is pending (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/506)

• Fix Update EpoxyController async model building so threading works with tests (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/504)

New EpoxyController now supports asynchronous model building and diffing by allowing you to provide a custom Handler to run these tasks. See the wiki for more details.

• New The EpoxyController#addModelBuildListener method was added to support listening for when model changes are dispatched to the recyclerview.

• New Added kotlin sample code for building models. Updated wiki with info (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/wiki/Kotlin-Model-Examples)

• Fix Generated kotlin extension functions now work with Models with type variables (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/478)

• Fix Backup is not enabled in manifest now (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/481)

• Fix Click listener setter on generated model has correct nullability annotation (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/458)

• Fix Avoid kotlin crash using toString on lambdas (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/482)

• Fix If EpoxyModelGroup has annotations the generated class now calls super methods correctly. (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/483)

• New Experimental support for creating Epoxy models from arbitrary data formats (#450)

• Fix Reduce memory usage in model groups and differ (#433)
• Fix Support for wildcards in private epoxy attributes (#451)
• Fix Generated Kotlin Extensions Don't Adhere to Constructor Nullability (#449)
• Fix Infinite loop in annotation processor (#447)

• Breaking Several updates to the Paging Library integration were made (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/421)

  • The PagingEpoxyController class had the methods setNumPagesToLoad and setPageSizeHint removed
  • Page hints are now taken from the Config object off of the PagedList. See the setConfig javadoc for information on how config values are used: https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/blob/master/epoxy-paging/src/main/java/com/airbnb/epoxy/paging/PagingEpoxyController.java#L220
  • Several tweaks were made to how the page size and prefetch distance affect model rebuilding. Take some time to make sure your config values make sense and produce good results for your use case
  • A crash on empty list was fixed (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/issues/420)

• New The Paris library is now officially supported to allow dynamically styling RecyclerView items though Epoxy models. See the wiki for more info.

• Fix Make databinding work with Android Studio 3.1 (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/418)
• Make EpoxyController#isBuildingModels public (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/406

Improvement Allow the Model_ class suffix for models generated via @ModelView to be customized (https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/pull/402 Big thanks to geralt-encore!)
