squadron 3.1.1

Multithreading and worker thread pool in Dart to offload CPU-bound and heavy I/O tasks to Isolate or Web Worker threads.

3.1.0

• Several minor changes (some possibly breaking changes but easy to fix).
• Split library into squadron_service.dart (worker services only), squadron_worker.dart (worker services and workers without pool) vs. squadron.dart (worker services, workers and pools).
• Split Channel into Channel (used to send a WorkerRequest) and WorkerChannel (used to send a WorkerResponse).
• Added ConcurrencySettings to eventually replace minWorkers, maxWorkers and maxParallel.
• Added WorkerPool.execute() (will eventually replace WorkerPool.compute()).
• Added WorkerPool.scheduleTask() to schedule a ValueTask. Result will be accessible from future ValueTask.value.
• Added WorkerPool.scheduleStream() to schedule a StreamTask. Results will be accessible from stream StreamTask.stream.
• ValueTask and StreamTask provide information on task execution (eg. status, wait time, execution time...).
• Added WorkerPool.cancel() to support worker task cancellation.
• Updated README.md.
• Added unit tests.

3.0.0

• Split library into squadron_service.dart (worker services only), squadron.dart (worker services and workers without pool) vs. squadron_pool.dart (worker services, workers and pools).
• Moved connect() and process() from Worker to WorkerService.
• Provided the run() function to facilitate implementation of platform workers.
• Adapted tests and examples.
• Updated README.md.

2.0.2

• Single test code base for both platforms.
• Added BitCoin service to test live network access from workers (courtesy of coindesk.com).
• Added PiDigits service (related to https://github.com/d-markey/squadron/issues/1).
• Retaining attempts based on manually operating a browser to run tests in /web (different test code base) and /test/browser-tests (same test code base).

2.0.1

• Remove dependency on js package.

2.0.0

• This version supports workers running in Isolates as well as Web Workers.
• Platform implementations are now more straightforward thanks to Worker.connect() and Worker.process().
• See examples on how to scaffold Services, Squadron Workers and platform workers.
• Added tests for Web Workers (run with "dart run build_runner serve -r" and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/index.html).

1.0.2

• Added support for minimum count of workers in pool.
• Make sure Isolate is killed when the worker is stopped.
• Keep track of stats from stopped workers.
• Update tests & examples (proper error handling, command map, worker monitoring).
