2.0.0 - 2026-07-04

Added

• Optimised text wrapping: new optimisedText parameter on TextComponent. When enabled, multi-line text wraps at a balanced width instead of leaving a short last line.
• New width parameter to provide a fixed width for optimised wrapping in places where LayoutBuilder cannot measure (e.g. inside SliverFillRemaining).
• New OptimisedText, OptimisedRichText, OptimisedTextForWidth, and OptimisedRichTextForWidth widgets powering the feature.
• maxLength parameter to limit text to a character count, with showEllipsis to control the trailing ellipsis.
• Widget tests covering optimised wrapping, fixed width, textAlign default, and maxLength truncation.

Changed

• BREAKING: renamed the optimalWrap parameter to optimisedText, and the optimal_wrapper source folder / OptimalWrap* widgets to optimised_text / Optimised*.
• When optimisedText is enabled, textAlign defaults to TextAlign.center.
• Documented the optimised text wrapping and maxLength features in the README.
