@sitecore-cloudsdk/events

The following table contains release notes for the Cloud SDK events package:

Version	Release notes
0.5.8	Version number update due to changes in the `personalize` package.
0.5.7	Version number update due to changes in the `personalize` package.
0.5.6	Version number update due to changes in the `personalize` package.
0.5.5	Version number update due to changes in the `search` package.
0.5.2	Version number update due to changes in the `search` package.
0.5.1	Version number update due to changes in the `personalize` and `search` packages.
0.5.0	The old initialization logic using the `init` function is no longer available. Upgrade your initialization code to the new initialization logic introduced in version 0.4. If you set up Sitecore Search event capturing in version 0.4.0, you used the `event` function to send `SC_SEARCH_WIDGET_VIEW` and `SC_SEARCH_WIDGET_CLICK` events. Cloud SDK version 0.5 introduces the `search` package with dedicated functions for capturing search events. We recommend that you update your code to use those dedicated functions instead of the `event` function to send search events.
0.4.4	Version number update due to changes in the `personalize` package.
0.4.3	Event-capturing functions on the `window` object are now available on `window.scCloudSDK.events`.
0.4.2	Version number update due to changes in the `core` package.
0.4.1	Version number update due to changes in the `core` and `personalize` packages.
0.4.0	Cloud SDK version 0.4 introduces new initialization logic. If you are upgrading from version 0.3 or earlier, we recommend that you upgrade your initialization code. The version 0.3 initialization logic is deprecated in version 0.4 and removed in version 0.5. If you use the version 0.4 initialization logic, the `events` package no longer uses the `sc_{SitecoreEdgeContextId}_personalize` cookie introduced in version 0.3.1. If you use the new initialization logic, starting with this version, only the `personalize` package persists this cookie. If you have Sitecore Search, you can now capture Sitecore Search events. When sending custom events, any event name starting with `SC_` is now a reserved event name. When choosing an event name, do not include `SC_` in the name. We continue to recommend that you include the name of the site in the unique event name. The `getBrowserId` and `getGuestId` functions are now available in the `browser` module of the `core` package. These functions will be removed from the `events` package in a future release. `FORM` events now require the `componentInstanceId` parameter.
0.3.1	The Cloud SDK now stores a new cookie named `sc_{SitecoreEdgeContextId}_personalize` in the web browser. This cookie persists the guest ID guest ID between sessions. Every event now captures the UTC date and time when the event triggered, with millisecond precision.
0.3.0	We simplified the `eventData` object and updated function signatures so that the order of function parameters is consistent across packages. Changes to `eventData`: The `channel` and `currency` attributes used to be required. They are now optional. The `extensionData` object used to be separate from the `eventData` object. It is now part of `eventData`. In the `event` and the `addToEventQueue` functions, the `type` parameter used to define the event name. `type` is now an attribute in `eventData`. Changes to function signatures: `eventData` is now the last parameter in server-side functions because it's optional in some cases. `request` is now the first parameter in server-side functions, followed by `response`, if available.
0.2.4	Bug fixes and performance improvements.
0.2.3	Bug fixes and performance improvements.
0.2.2	The event queue functions are now asynchronous.
0.1.3	The first release of the `events` package lets you track site visitors' behavior by capturing `VIEW`, `IDENTITY`, `FORM`, and custom events in real time.

@sitecore-cloudsdk/personalize

The following table contains release notes for the Cloud SDK personalize package:

Version	Release notes
0.5.8	Reverted a cookie name change introduced in version 0.5.7. Please upgrade from version 0.5.7.
0.5.7	Introduced an incorrect cookie name change, reverted in version 0.5.8. Please upgrade to version 0.5.8.
0.5.6	Added support for language parameters in personalize web flows to enable multilingual personalization scenarios.
0.5.5	Version number update due to changes in the `search` package.
0.5.2	Version number update due to changes in the `search` package.
0.5.1	Previously, JSS apps automatically captured geolocation data using the `PersonalizeData` interface. You now need to manually set up the capture of geolocation data, regardless of your app type or hosting provider. This change ensures compatibility with Next.js version 15, which no longer captures geolocation data automatically.
0.5.0	The old initialization logic using the `init` function is no longer available. Upgrade your initialization code to the new initialization logic introduced in version 0.4.
0.4.4	In `PersonalizeData`, the `currency` attribute used to be required. It is now optional.
0.4.3	Event-capturing functions on the `window` object have been moved to `window.scCloudSDK.events`.
0.4.2	Version number update due to changes in the `core` package.
0.4.1	Fixed a bug where the guest ID was `undefined` during initialization when the browser ID was already set.
0.4.0	Cloud SDK version 0.4 introduces new initialization logic. If you are upgrading from version 0.3 or earlier, we recommend that you upgrade your initialization code. The version 0.3 initialization logic is deprecated in version 0.4 and removed in version 0.5. If you use the version 0.4 initialization logic, the `events` package no longer uses the `sc_{SitecoreEdgeContextId}_personalize` cookie introduced in version 0.3.1. If you use the new initialization logic, starting with this version, only the `personalize` package persists this cookie. The Cloud SDK now supports web experiences and web experiments created in Sitecore Personalize.
0.3.1	The Cloud SDK now stores a new cookie named `sc_{SitecoreEdgeContextId}_personalize` in the web browser. This cookie persists the guest ID guest ID between sessions. `personalizationData` now accepts the `pageVariantIds` parameter. This is an array of strings representing IDs of personalized page variants.
0.3.0	We updated function signatures so that the order of function parameters is consistent across packages: `personalizeData` is now the last parameter in server-side functions. This way, the order of function parameters is consistent with that in the `events` package. `request` is now the first parameter in server-side functions, followed by `response`, if available.
0.2.4	The payload of the `personalize` function now includes UTM parameters from the URL of the webpage where the function runs.
0.2.3	Bug fixes and performance improvements.
0.2.2	Bug fixes and performance improvements.
0.1.3	The first release of the `personalize` package lets you show personalized content to site visitors by running live interactive personalizations created in Sitecore Personalize.

@sitecore-cloudsdk/search

The following table contains release notes for the Cloud SDK search package:

Version	Release notes

0.5.5	Fixed a bug where the `context` property was missing for the server version of the `getWidgetData` function.

0.5.1	The `SearchOptions` interface now supports disabling and enabling the grouping of search results if document grouping has been enabled for an attribute in Sitecore Search. Search event interfaces now support the capture of `country` and `referrer`. The updated interfaces are: `EntityViewEventParams` `WidgetViewEventParams` `WidgetItemClickEventParams` `WidgetFacetClickEventParams` `WidgetNavigationClickEventParams` `WidgetSuggestionClickEventParams`
0.5.0	The first release of this package lets you build search experiences for site visitors and capture events that occur inside them. For example, you can create a search results page and other types of search experiences such as content or product recommendations and search suggestions.
