AdaptiveCards v1.2.0

New features:

1. Element-level fallback support
2. Full bleed background images/containers
3. Action.ToggleVisibility
4. More Container styles to match Textblock styles
5. Better inline text formatting
6. TextBlock inline Actions
7. Base64 encode image into URI (Data URIs)
8. Input.Text with associated action (Quick-Reply)
9. TextBlock font styles
10. Action sentiment (primary / destructive)
11. Place actions anywhere in the card (ActionSet)
12. Stretch and Repeat for Background Images
13. MinHeight Property on Containers
14. Wrap property on ChoiceSet/Toggle

Breaking Changes:

1. UWP SDK: Background images in UWP are now of type 'object' and not 'string'
2. WPF Renderer: WPF Input.ChoiceSet now correctly defaults to "compact" as documented
3. TS Renderer:
   a. Removed speak property from every element. Now only available on root AdaptiveCard element.
   b. Removed renderSpeech() method throughout
   c. Removed CardElement.validate() and Action.validate() methods. Custom elements and actions should now override the internalValidateProperties() method. See README.md for more details.
4. Introducing FontTypes: The fontFamily, FontSizes and FontWeights are now not recommended. Instead use the 'fontTypes' property in hostConfig and populate the default/monospace types.
5. Android Renderer:
   a. The AdaptiveCardRenderer.render method was changed to replace the ElementParserRegistration parameter for a ParseContext parameter which includes the ElementParserRegistration and the ActionParserRegistration objects
   b. The render method in BaseCardElementRenderer was changed to include the RenderedAdaptiveCard parameter and ContainerStyle was changed for a RenderArgs where the ContainerStyle is now contained

Announcing v1.0

We are excited to announce the release of Adaptive Cards 1.0! 🎉

Adaptive Cards 1.0

NOTE: These are BREAKING CHANGES from v1.0 - Beta

Many of these changes do have back-compat support in existing renderers, but as clients upgrade to v1.0 through the end of the year we will start to see less support for the v1.0-Beta.

Schema Changes

• AdaptiveCard minVersion is removed, version is now used to specify the schema version that this card requires

UWP

• None

.NET

• lang isn't supported yet
• IList properties were changed to List for XML serialization

Android

• Package rename from com.microsoft.adaptivecards to io.adaptivecards
• AdaptiveCardRenderer.Render now returns a RenderedAdaptiveCardObject that contains the original card, the generated view, a collection of warnings, and a way to gather user input.
• AdaptiveCardRenderer.Render arguments has changed. Takes in an instance of a ICardActionHandler instead of IShowCardActionHandler and an ISubmitActionHandler
• ActionRendererRegistration has been removed. All actions are rendered in one way and once invoked, the onAction method provided by the caller gets invoked.
• onAction gets invoked with the BaseActionElement and the RenderedAdaptiveCardObject.
• AdaptiveCards.DeserializeFromString returns a ParseResult object that contains the AdaptiveCard object and a list of ParseWarnings

iOS

• Actions (events) are passed directly to clients for handling via didFetchUserResponse(ACOAdatpiveCard *)card action:(ACOBaseActionElement *)action delegate. Input can be examined by sending message inputs to the card.
