RELEASE NOTES (EOS SDK)​

New Features:​

• Custom Invites
• The Custom Invites feature is designed for developers who want to use their own grouping technology while still taking advantage of the Social Overlay and Epic Games Launcher invite buttons and prompts.Developers provide an arbitrary string payload for transmission to other players, and this payload is sent either through direct API call or via the Social Overlay Invite button. Players on the receiving side will see the same Social Overlay “Invite Received” prompts as with EOS Sessions and Lobbies, and received invites can also trigger new EOSSDK API callbacks if desired.
• Added CustomInvites UI elements and functionality to AuthAndFriends sample.
• A "Send Invite" button opens a send invite dialog which allows the user to set a payload and choose a target user, and ultimately "send" an invite. Instead of using the Send button, the Overlay can also be opened where a “Send” button will appear next to any users currently eligible to receive the invitation.
• When an invite is received, a dialog appears with detail about the invite and offers "Accept" and "Decline" buttons which ultimately call FinalizeInvite with Success/Canceled results.
