easy_blue_printer 1.4.1

The **Easy Blue Printer** plugin allows seamless integration of Bluetooth printers in a Flutter app, enabling the scanning, connection, and printing functionality.

Changelog

1.4.1 - 2026-04-07

Fixed

• Android: Image printing regression introduced in 1.4.0 — alignment bytes were being flushed as a separate Bluetooth packet before the image data, which some printer firmware could not handle. They are now sent together with the first image chunk, restoring the original behavior.

1.4.0 - 2026-04-07

Changed (breaking improvement)

• Print buffering: printData and printEmptyLine no longer send data immediately. Instead, bytes are accumulated in an in-memory buffer and transmitted as a single continuous stream when:
  • printEmptyLine is called (natural flush point at end of receipt)
  • printImage is called (text is flushed first, then image is sent)
  • The print queue empties (automatic flush for text-only receipts)
• This eliminates the root cause of corrupted output: the printer now receives one uninterrupted byte stream instead of many small bursts with gaps between them
• Removed commandDelay (no longer needed)
• Added internal commitPrint mechanism (called automatically — no API change required)

Fixed

• Corrupted characters when printing PDFs with multiple text items and/or images

1.3.9 - 2026-04-07

Added

• EasyBluePrinter.instance.commandDelay — configurable delay between consecutive print commands (default: 100ms). Increase if your printer still shows corrupted output (e.g. commandDelay = Duration(milliseconds: 150)). Set to Duration.zero to disable.

Fixed

• The inter-command delay is only applied when there are more jobs in the queue, so the last command does not add unnecessary latency

1.3.8 - 2026-04-07

Fixed

• Android: printData now consolidates all ESC/POS bytes into a single buffer and sends in 128-byte chunks with 10ms delays between chunks, preventing printer buffer overflow on receipts with many items
• iOS: writeData now always applies 10ms delay after each BLE chunk regardless of write type (withResponse or withoutResponse), ensuring consistent flow control across all printer models

1.3.7 - 2026-04-07

Fixed

• Print queue: Multiple sequential print calls (printData, printImage, printEmptyLine) are now processed one at a time through an internal queue, eliminating corrupted characters caused by buffer overflow on the printer
• Android: Replaced independent threads with a SingleThreadExecutor for all print operations, ensuring native-level serialization
• iOS: Replaced DispatchQueue.global() with a dedicated serial queue for print operations, ensuring native-level serialization
• No more need for manual delays (Future.delayed) between print calls in the consuming app

1.3.6 - 2026-03-31

Changed

• Updated README with PaperConfig documentation (API reference, quick start, enums table) in English and Portuguese

1.3.5 - 2026-03-30

Added

• PaperConfig entity to configure paper roll size dynamically (roll58mm = 384px, roll80mm = 576px, or custom widthPixels)
• EasyBluePrinter.configurePrinter(PaperConfig) method — call once after connecting to set the roll width used for image printing on both Android and iOS

1.3.4 - 2026-02-14

• Updated PIX donation key in README

1.3.3 - 2026-02-11

1.3.0 - 2026-02-10

Added

• iOS: Image printing support
• iOS: isConnected use case
• iOS: Image processing utilities (scale and bitmap decode)
• Docs: Complete bilingual README (English and Portuguese) for pub.dev

Fixed

• iOS: First scan no longer returns empty — waits for CBCentralManager to be ready before scanning
• iOS: Scan loading now stays visible until devices are found
• Android: Image printing sends data in chunks to avoid buffer overflow
• Android: Filter out unnamed devices from scan results
