v1.0.0

The first stable release, with a "Report a problem" button, server errors on the replay and a long list of privacy and upload fixes.

Upgrading: run php artisan migrate (a column for the impersonator's type and an index for a workspace's list). Config keys were renamed to name their unit (idle_minutes, flush_seconds, on_error.ask_timeout_seconds, ingest.requests_per_minute); a published config with the old names keeps working, but config()->set() at runtime needs the new names (#42).

• SessionReplay.send() for a "Report a problem" button, with a ReplayReported event to tell support (#39)
• Server errors on the replay, marker details, and Open in logs through SessionReplay::logUrlUsing()
• Failed fetch and XHR requests and client-side page changes are marked in apps without Livewire
• Copy link to this moment under the player, and the on_error.ask question as a toast
• A ReplaySession policy (Filament Shield's, say) authorizes the viewer when no gate is defined (#41)
• The impersonator can be a model (#40), and a session-replay:session browser event for error trackers (#43)
• Privacy fixes: hidden and file inputs always masked, URLs redacted in errors, stricter defaults for a misspelt consent or mode (#38), visibleUsing() kept to its scope
• Sturdier uploads and times: the daily limit is obeyed, half-failed batches are stored in full, and times follow the app's timezone

Docs: https://packstub.dev/docs/session-replay

• A page reached with wire:navigate is recorded as a fresh snapshot, like a page load: smaller recordings and quicker seeking

• Stylesheets that finish loading after the page was recorded are stored once too

• on_error.livewire_error_modal: the on_error.ask question can take the place of Livewire's error modal

• The question is now a native <dialog>, always above the page, Livewire's modal included

Recording only when something goes wrong. Run php artisan migrate for the new replay_session_assets table.

• mode = on_error: the browser keeps the last minute in memory and uploads it only after an error

• on_error.ask: a small dialog asks the person before sending, with an option to send anonymously

• The kept window survives a failed upload and goes up on the next page load (on_error.keep_pending)

• Shared snapshots: pages that look the same for everyone can be stored once (snapshots.share_routes)

• Failed uploads are retried for about four minutes instead of 14 seconds

• The player works in Firefox 140 ESR. Thanks @VincentBean.

• except_routes: route names that never get the recorder; password-reset and verification pages left out by default

• privacy.anonymous: record signed-in people without storing who they are

• privacy.store_user_agent = false drops the browser's user agent

• A published except list with keyed entries no longer throws

First beta of Session Replay for Laravel: record what people do in your app with rrweb and watch it back. Names and config may still change before 1.0.

• @sessionReplay records each tab across page loads, with sampling, opt-in consent and one recording per person and workspace
• Private by default: every input masked, no IP address stored, sensitive query parameters redacted
• Errors, failed Livewire requests, Web Vitals, rage clicks and page views as markers on the timeline
• Small recordings: stylesheets stored once, batches gzipped in the browser, kept on any filesystem disk
• A built-in list and player behind the viewSessionReplay gate, and a <x-session-replay::player> component
• Replay links in Laravel's log context; the viewer in English, German, Spanish, Romanian and Russian
