flutter_cache_cleaner 0.1.3

A cross-platform CLI utility to safely clean Flutter project build artifacts and global dependency caches

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

0.1.3 - 2026-02-11

Added

• Auto-update from pub.dev when running from a global install: the CLI checks for a newer version and, if available, updates and re-runs the same command
• Global flag --no-update-check to skip the update check (e.g. in CI or offline)
• Dependency on pub_updater for version check and update

Changed

• Version used by the update check is defined in lib/version.dart; keep in sync with pubspec.yaml when releasing

0.1.2 - 2026-01-22

Added

• Enhanced verbose output with real-time progress tracking
• Progress indicators showing current operation and project counts
• Timing information for major operations (scanning, analysis, cleaning)
• Detailed logging throughout core operations:
  • Project detection progress (directories scanned, projects found)
  • Cache target analysis with per-project progress (X/Y projects)
  • Cleaning progress with per-target deletion status
  • Global cache size calculation progress
• New verbose helper methods in BaseCommand:
  • printVerboseProgress() for ongoing operations
  • printVerboseStep() for step-by-step operations
  • printVerboseTiming() for timing information
  • getVerboseLogger() for passing to core classes

Improved

• Verbose output now provides comprehensive feedback during long-running operations
• Better visibility into what the tool is doing at each stage
• More informative error context in verbose mode

0.1.1 - 2026-01-13

Fixed

• Fixed argument parsing bug where command-specific options (--root, --include-defaults, etc.) were not recognized

• Improved argument parsing to correctly handle global flags both before and after command name
