alphax 1.1.0

Cross-platform HTTP client for Dart and Flutter with an application facade, streaming, retries, caching, protocol control, middleware, and native transport integrations.

Changelog

1.1.0 - 2026-08-31

• Added the application-facing AlphaXAppClient for ordinary HTTP code with validated base URLs, string paths, query/header convenience, JSON data, overall timeout, cancellation forwarding, raw responses, and explicit owned/borrowed lifecycle.
• Existing AlphaXClient, request/body/response, streaming, policy, and transport contracts remain available unchanged.

1.0.0 - 2026-08-30

• First stable AlphaX release. The transport-independent API and frozen rc.5 feature surface carry forward without breaking changes.

1.0.0-rc.5 - 2026-08-30

• Added the dedicated incremental package:alphax/sse.dart parser for bounded HTTP response streams, including standard event, ID, and retry semantics without automatic reconnect.
• Added the transport-neutral package:alphax/websocket.dart lifecycle contract for ordered text/binary messages, subprotocol negotiation, close information, and explicit cancellation without automatic reconnect.
• Added lightweight AlphaX annotations, request options, and typed response helpers used by the direct typed REST generator; generator tooling remains outside the core runtime dependency graph.

1.0.0-rc.4 - 2026-08-29

• Preserved file-transfer byte accounting and completion metrics while avoiding progress callback construction and invocation when the caller did not register a download or upload observer.

1.0.0-rc.3 - 2026-08-17

• Added a runnable package-local example showing a custom transport, request, response body, streaming events, and completion protocol metadata.
• Documented the in-memory cookie-jar constructor for complete API reference coverage.

1.0.0-rc.2 - 2026-08-17

• Corrected the theme-aware README logo URLs to absolute repository assets so pub.dev and other Markdown renderers load both SVG variants.

1.0.0-rc.1 - 2026-08-17

• Stabilized the pure-Dart transport-independent request/response, body, stream, file, cancellation, timeout, redirect, middleware, capability, protocol, metrics, and normalized-error contracts.
• Added protocol preference/requirement, truthful fallback, TLS/trust/pinning, proxy, and opaque client-identity policy models.
• Added opt-in replay-aware retries, token authentication with single-flight challenge refresh, in-memory cookies, buffered HTTP caching, and generic circuit-breaker resilience middleware.
• Added the asynchronous AlphaXCookieStore abstraction with atomic updateCookies. The middleware owns cookie parsing/matching while AlphaXCookieJar remains a queued in-memory implementation; persistence remains caller-owned.
• Replaced the URI-only cache store with AlphaXCacheKey/ AlphaXCacheEntry variant-aware storage. Added private-cache defaults, Vary selection, Cache-Control/Date/Age/Expires freshness, credential isolation, Set-Cookie exclusion, ETag/Last-Modified revalidation, 304 metadata merging, bounded entry/byte limits, and mutation invalidation.
• Added HTTP-date Retry-After parsing with the existing bounded retry policy.
• Documented completion-time protocol metadata and intentional provider limitations.

No Flutter or native transport dependency is included in alphax.
