[Unreleased]

0.4.0 - 2026-03-16

BREAKING CHANGES

• Merged singleton_manager_annotations into singleton_manager
  • @isSingleton annotation now exported from singleton_manager package
  • @isInjected annotation now exported from singleton_manager package
  • singleton_manager_annotations package is now DEPRECATED
  • Migration: Change import 'package:singleton_manager_annotations/...' to import 'package:singleton_manager/singleton_manager.dart'

Added

• Annotations (@isSingleton, @isInjected) are now included in the main package
• Single import point for all DI functionality

Deprecated

• singleton_manager_annotations package is now deprecated in favor of singleton_manager

0.3.5 - 2026-03-16

Improved

• Code quality: Optimized cascade operators in singleton_di_ext.dart
  • Improved readability in add<T>() method
  • Improved readability in addAs<I, T>() method
• Resolved all dart analyze issues with zero errors or warnings

0.3.4 - 2026-03-14

Changed

• Updated README and documentation to reflect flexible API (v0.3.3+ improvements)
• Enhanced examples showing registration of plain objects without interfaces
• Clarified that ISingleton interface is optional

Documentation

• Added examples of registering simple objects (strings, maps, configs)
• Improved feature list highlighting API flexibility
• Updated installation instructions to v0.3.4

0.3.3 - 2026-03-14

Changed

• Made addInstance and addInstanceAs more permissive by using Object constraint instead of ISingletonDI<dynamic>
• Made get<T>() and remove<T>() accept any Object type, not just ISingletonDI
• Removed mandatory initializeDI() calls from instance registration methods

Improved

• Simplified API: No longer requires ISingletonDI interface for instance registration and retrieval
• get<T>() now works with any registered type (factory-based or instance-based)
• remove<T>() now works with any registered type
• More flexible for simple value objects that don't need initialization

Benefits

• Can register and retrieve plain Dart objects without implementing interfaces
• Cleaner API for simple use cases
• Better compatibility with third-party classes

0.3.2 - 2026-03-14

Changed

• Updated documentation and examples to reflect v0.3.1+ features
• Improved README with clearer feature descriptions
• Enhanced code comments and dartdoc for better API clarity
• Fixed all linting violations (100% clean)
• Updated dependencies and analysis options

Added

• New Documentation Sections:
  • Comparison & Use Cases table
  • Best Practices guide with code examples
  • Examples directory reference with all available examples
  • DI Patterns comparison (Factory vs Instance vs Static)

Documentation

• Updated Quick Start examples to show both static and instance-based registration
• Added comprehensive examples in main README
• Clarified lifecycle management with ISingleton interface
• Improved API clarity with better code examples

0.3.1 - 2026-03-14

Fixed

• Fixed all dart analyzer linting issues and code style violations
  • Proper line wrapping for lines exceeding 80 characters
  • Correct member ordering (constructors before methods)
  • Used cascade operators where appropriate
  • Added missing newlines at end of files
• Excluded example files from strict linting rules
• Added ignore comment for false positive one_member_abstracts warning on ISingletonDI

0.3.0 - 2026-03-13

Added

• SingletonDIAccess: Static convenience class for accessing the global singleton manager
  • add<T>() - Static method to register singleton by type
  • addAs<I, T>() - Static method to register implementation with interface as key
  • addInstance<T>() - Static method to register existing instance
  • addInstanceAs<I, T>() - Static method to register existing instance with interface as key
  • get<T>() - Static method for type-safe singleton retrieval
  • remove<T>() - Static method for type-safe singleton removal
• Instance-Based Registration: New extension methods on SingletonManager
  • addInstance<T>() - Register an existing singleton instance of type T
  • addInstanceAs<I, T>() - Register an existing instance under interface I
• New Example: 11_singleton_di_access_static_methods.dart demonstrating static API patterns

Changed

• Internal code cleanup and optimization in SingletonDIExt
