image_compressor 0.1.2 changelog

0.1.2 #

Retracted an unfair performance claim. 0.1.1's README said we return a small file "instead of an uncontrolled multi-megabyte one" — that comparison had us downsampling a 27 MP photo while the other package was forced to full resolution. Given the same dimension cap it gets there too; the real advantage is that toSize finds the quality instead of making you guess it.
Corrected the speed claim. The benchmark that reported us ~20% slower was unwarmed and always timed us first. Warmed, in both run orders, it's a dead heat (103 ms vs 102 ms on 6.75 MP) — and our number includes the EXIF orientation pass the other side skips. See BENCHMARK.md.
Added the GitHub Sponsors funding link (missed the 0.1.1 cut).

Docs: reworded the README's comparison to a name-free "us vs most other packages" table (no competitor names).
Example: added a real compress → save-to-gallery flow (via gal).
Added GitHub Sponsors funding link (pubspec funding:, README, FUNDING.yml).

Initial release.

ImageCompressor.toSize(input, maxBytes:) — compress to a target file size. The quality search runs natively (decode once), so it stays fast on large images. Returns reachedTarget + usedQuality instead of throwing when a size can't be met.
ImageCompressor.toQuality(input, quality:) — fixed-quality mode.
toSizeAll / toQualityAll — batch with bounded concurrency, onProgress, and CancelToken support.
Any input via ImageSource — bytes, file path, asset key, or an XFile straight from image_picker.
CompressedImage.saveTo(path) extension (native only).
Automatic EXIF orientation (autoOrient), decode-time downsampling to avoid OOM on large images, and consistent per-edge resize across platforms.
Formats: JPEG/PNG everywhere, WebP on Android + web, HEIC on iOS.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web.
Never returns null — hard failures throw a typed CompressError.
