ack_annotations 1.4.0

Annotations for Ack schema-first models and class-first schema generation

1.4.0

Added

• Add @Optional(), @Required(), and @NotNull() field annotations for class-first key presence and JSON null rejection.

Deprecated

• Deprecate AckField.presence and AckFieldPresence. Use @Optional() or @Required(); they will be removed in Ack 2.0.0.

1.3.0

Changed

• Align with the coordinated Ack 1.3 release introducing ack_mcp_dart; this package has no runtime or public API changes from 1.2.0.

1.2.0

Added

• Add @AckInfer() for immutable schema-first model generation. Custom names are exact and annotated libraries declare .ack.dart plus .ack.g.dart.
• Add class-first @AckModel(), @AckField, constraint annotations, unknown-property modes, exact schema facade names, and the generated JSON marker used by Ack-owned output.

Deprecated

• Deprecate only @AckType(). It will be removed in Ack 2.0.0; use @AckInfer() for schema-first models or @AckModel() for class-first models. Its Ack 1.1 name suffixing and generated extension-type APIs remain unchanged until removal.

Changed

• Raise the minimum Dart SDK to 3.9.
• Make the new AckInfer and internal JSON marker annotation classes final.
• Finalize the pre-release class-first API as AckUnknownPropertyPolicy, unknownProperties, and captureField, with no deprecated aliases.
