async_task 1.0.6

Asynchronous tasks and parallel executors (similar to thread pools) for all Dart platforms (transparently), without having to deal with `Isolate` complexity.

1.0.6

• Added AsyncTaskChannel for messages communication with tasks during execution.
• Added AsyncExecutorStatus.
• AsyncExecutor: optimize to avoid creating of futures while executing/processing a task.
• Improved README.

1.0.5

• Added AsyncTaskPlatform and AsyncTaskPlatformType.
• AsyncTask:
  • Optimize taskType
  • Optimize execute to use less async operations.
• Added AsyncExecutorSharedDataInfo to report SharedData information.
• AsyncExecutor:
  • New constructor parameter parallelismPercentage.
  • Optimize execute, executeAll and executeAllAndWaitResults to dispatch less asyn operations.
  • Added disposeSharedData and disposeSharedDataInfo.
• Extensions:
  • Added IterableFutureOrExtension and IterableFutureExtension.
• _AsyncExecutorMultiThread:
  • Optimized to use less async operations.
  • Using _RawReceivePortPool to optimize ports.
  • Optimized to pre send SharedData.
• Added _RawReceivePortPool: pool of reusable _ReceivePort.
• Added _ReceivePort: an optimized RawReceivePort.

1.0.4

• AsyncTask:
  • Allow multiple SharedData: Optional method sharedData now returns a Map<String,SharedData>.

1.0.3

• AsyncExecutor:
  • Fix close operation while tasks are being executed.

1.0.2

• Added SharedData, to optimize data sharing between tasks and threads/isolates.
• AsyncExecutor: added close to stop and finalize an executor.
• Added collections extensions: ListExtension, MapExtension, SetExtension, IterableExtension.

1.0.1

• Fix pubspec.yaml description length.
• Improve README.md description.

1.0.0

• Implemented AsyncTask with status, result and executionTime.
• AsyncExecutor with implementations based on dart:isolate and dart:async.
• Initial version.
