4.11.0

• New Dart function ensureFinalized(). This function ensures that all Rust tasks are terminated. Take a look at the example code to understand how to run this function before closing the Flutter app. Note that you have to run rifs template --bridge again to use this function.

4.10.0

• New default web alias spawn_blocking(). CPU-intensive blocking tasks are better to be executed on a separate thread pool.
• Improved the example app's performance and debug tests.

4.9.0

• New default web alias yield_now(). Inside a long-running code, calling this will help you avoid blocking the whole async event loop, by giving the flow back to other async tasks.

• Improved the example app's performance and debug tests.

4.6.1

• Stabilized debug_print! logic.

4.6.0

• New debug_print! macro that works on all environments, including web and mobile emulators, with the power of Flutter debuggers. To use this, you need to run rifs template again.

• Added support for Rust nightly.
• Eliminated unnecessary Dart dependencies.
