• BREAKING: Removed Modal.activator() widget wrapper - replaced with MaterialApp.builder integration via Modal.appBuilder() as the former isn't appropriate and could cause issues
• BREAKING: Removed Modal.initialiseActivator() method - no longer needed with new installation approach
• BREAKING: Removed dependency on sizer package - now uses native MediaQuery for responsive sizing
• BREAKING: Removed dependency on dart_helper_utils package - simplified dependencies
• BREAKING: Removed dependency on soundsliced_tween_animation_builder package - uses built-in animation solutions
• NEW: Modal.appBuilder() function for seamless integration with MaterialApp/WidgetsApp builder pattern
• NEW: Optional context parameter in Modal.show() and Modal.showSnackbar() for improved first-call reliability
• NEW: showDebugPrints parameter in Modal.appBuilder() to control debug output
• NEW: backgroundColor parameter in Modal.appBuilder() to customize the app canvas color
• IMPROVED: Simplified installation - no need to wrap entire app, just use MaterialApp.builder
• IMPROVED: Better hot reload support with new architecture
• IMPROVED: More reliable modal display on first call without BuildContext juggling
• IMPROVED: Cleaner dependency tree with fewer external packages
• IMPROVED: All tests updated to use new Modal.appBuilder() pattern
• IMPROVED: Example app updated to demonstrate new installation method
• FIXED: Per-snackbar animation controller management prevents dismissal conflicts
• FIXED: Unique animation keys per modal prevent animation state sharing between instances
• FIXED: Border radius animation synchronized with background layer for smoother sheet transitions

Migration Guide:

Old (v1.x):

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Modal.activator(
      child: MaterialApp(
        home: MyHomePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

New (v2.0):

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      builder: Modal.appBuilder,  // <-- Just add this line!
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

For advanced customization:

MaterialApp(
  builder: (context, child) => Modal.appBuilder(
    context,
    child,
    backgroundColor: Colors.black,
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(24),
    shouldBounceOnTap: true,
    showDebugPrints: false,  // Set to true for debugging
  ),
  home: MyHomePage(),
)

• BREAKING: Renamed Modal.showSnackbar() parameter isSwipeable to isDismissible for API consistency
• Unified dismissal logic: Modal.show() with modalType: ModalType.snackbar now respects isDismissible consistently
• Enhanced isDismissible behavior: when false, snackbars now automatically disable auto-dismiss timer
• Improved Modal.updateParams() to properly handle isDismissible for snackbar updates
• Added barrierColor parameter to snackbars with animated fade in/out support
• Updated example app with new snackbar configurator controls (isDismissible toggle and barrierColor selector)
• Updated documentation to reflect new API patterns

• README updated

• pubspec.yaml package's description updated
