offline_first_cache 0.0.4

An offline-first HTTP client for Flutter/Dart with request queuing, GET caching (stale-while-revalidate, tag-based invalidation), and a built-in Queue Inspector UI.

0.0.4

• True Least-Recently-Used (LRU) Cache Eviction: Optimized caching by replacing single-deletion with a true LRU algorithm that sorts and clears least-recently-accessed items when exceeding size capacity.
• Custom Pluggable Retry Policies: Added support for pluggable OfflineRetryPolicy strategies, allowing custom retry decisions (e.g. dynamic status checks, permanent client error handling) rather than hardcoded rules.
• Optimistic UI Merging Helper: Added the getPendingMutationsForPath helper to query and synchronize pending queued mutations (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) directly with local widgets for instant UI updates.
• Modernized Package Structure: Restructured package assets, moving example components to a dedicated compliant example/ folder, ensuring a 100/100 pub points score on pub.dev.
• Interceptor & Queue Reliability Fixes: Fixed deep interceptor-ordering issues in integration tests using network adapter-based mocks, and resolved recursive queueing race conditions during retries.

0.0.3

• Initial release of offline_first_cache.
• Added OfflineHttpClient wrapper on top of Dio and Hive.
• Supported offline GET request caching with configurable TTL, tag-based invalidation, and stale-while-revalidate.

• Supported Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) for failed retries.
• Added optional secure storage-based AES encryption for local boxes.
• Included a built-in QueueInspector widget to visually debug and manage the request and dead-letter queues.
