blue_whale changelog | Flutter package

0.0.3 #

A massive update introducing the "Signals" paradigm, a CLI tool, memory safety with WhaleScope, and deep DevTools diagnostics.

Functional Reactivity: Introduced state(), View(), mutate(), and derive() for a minimalist, signal-based DX.
Whale CLI: New command-line tool for scaffolding features (dart run blue_whale create tank <name>).
WhaleScope: Scoped dependency injection that automatically cleans up memory when widgets are disposed.
Whale DevTools: Real-time console diagnostics for tracking state mutations and UI rebuilds (Whale.enableDevTools()).
Persistent State: Automatic local storage syncing with persistentState('key', value).
Naming Aliases: Standard technical aliases like Signal, Controller, Store, and Injector for easier adoption.

Performance: Optimized the dependency graph to O(affected nodes) for lightning-fast UI updates.
Batching: Implemented mutate() to suppress redundant UI repaints during multiple state updates.
Async Handling: Simplified AsyncPod with .obx() for cleaner loading/error states.
Architecture: Refined the internal Reef engine for better stability and predictable teardowns.

Initial release of Blue Whale – Intuitive State Management for Flutter.

State management using WhalePod<T> for reactive state and WhaleCurrent<T> for stream-based state.
Dependency injection with Reef.i.put(), lazyPut(), factory(), and use<T>().
Navigation via BlueWhale.navigator using contextless named routes with argument support.
Overlays using BlueWhale.overlays to display dialogs, snackbars, and bottom sheets.
UI composition with WhaleSurface, WhaleBuilder, and lifecycle-aware WhaleTank.
Internationalization (i18n) support using WhaleTranslations and the .bwTr() extension.
Clean and intuitive architecture with minimal boilerplate.
