stl 0.2.0

A performance-oriented implementation of STL patterns (Vector, List, algorithms) for Dart.

0.0.1

• Initial release and project structure.
• Reserving the stl package name.

0.1.0

Added

• Introduced the core Vector<T> class.
• Overloaded operator == and hashCode for deep value-based equality matching instead of default reference equality.
• Implemented C++ STL-style lexicographical comparison operators (<, <=, >, >=) and compareTo by enforcing T extends Comparable.
• Re-added random element access (operator [] and operator []=) with strict memory safety and bounds checking.
• Overridden toString() for beautifully formatted array-like console output.
• Implemented core container modifiers (push_back, pop_back, clear, insert) with underlying bounds validation.
• Made the Vector completely compatible with Dart standard iterables by introducing IterableMixin, granting dozens of built-in loop operations (.map, .where, reduce, for-in blocks).

Changed

• Completely rewrote Vector<T> to establish a clean slate and focus on strict const and final list initialization semantics.
• Temporarily removed all extended operations (+, -, *, at(), toList(), etc.) for architectural redesign.

0.1.1

• Documentation update: Fixed installation instructions in README.

0.1.2

Added

• Added operator + for vector concatenation.
• Added operator * for vector multiplication with an integer.
• Added operator - for vector subtraction.
• Added ~ for conversion to List.

0.1.3

• Added at() method for safe random access with bounds checking.
• Added front() method for accessing the first element with bounds checking.
• Added back() method for accessing the last element with bounds checking.
• Added empty() method for checking if the vector is empty.
• Added size() method for getting the size of the vector.
• Added sort() method for sorting the vector.
• Added reverse() method for reversing the vector.
• Added shuffle() method for shuffling the vector.
• Added contains() method for checking if the vector contains an element.
• Added indexOf() method for getting the index of an element.
• Added remove() method for removing an element.
• Added removeAt() method for removing an element at a specific index.
• Added removeLast() method for removing the last element.
• Added removeRange() method for removing a range of elements.
• Added removeWhere() method for removing elements that satisfy a condition.
• Added retainWhere() method for retaining elements that satisfy a condition.

0.1.4

• Added stl.collections for more collection types.
• Moved Vector to stl.collections.
• Removed stl_base.dart.

0.1.5

• Cleaned up duplicate vector.dart source file.

0.1.6

• Added Deque collection.

0.1.7

• Added Deque example showcase.

0.1.8

• Added Stack collection.
• Added unit tests for Stack collection.
• Added unit test for Vector collection.
• Added unit test for Deque collection.
• Removed stl_test.dart.
• Added ForwardList collection.

0.1.9

• Updated Readme.md
• Added test for ForwardList collection.

0.2.0

Added

• Expanded Vector<T> with strictly identical C++ style operations: assign(), resize(), insertAll(), and swap().
• Enhanced Deque<T> by natively mixing in IterableMixin<T>, enabling dozens of standard iterable operations.
• Appended missing C++ aliases to Deque<T> (push_back(), push_front(), pop_back(), pop_front(), front(), back()).
• Added index-based random access array functionality (operator [], operator []=, at()) and swap() method to Deque<T>.
• Greatly expanded ForwardList<T> singly-linked manipulation algorithms: remove(), remove_if(), insert_after(), erase_after(), and unique().
• Implemented state swap() adapter for Stack<T>.
