v6.0.0

Breaking Changes

• Exception information in onDiscarderError and onUnhandledError is changed so that message contains the exception message and stackTrace contains only the stackTrace. In the previous implementation stackTrace contained some additional details (including the exception message) and the message was something like:

  The application crashed because of an uncaught exception. You can look at "stackTrace" or "nativeException" for more detailed information about the exception.
  

• The built-in JSON.stringify method is used for cross workers communication. Circular object references are no longer supported and attempting to send such object will throw an exception.
