whitecodel_image_compare 1.1.0

Flutter image similarity — combines OpenCV pixel matching, perceptual hashes, and optional OCR into one tuned pipeline with production-ready performance.

1.1.0

• UI performance: decode / resize / OpenCV / hashes run on a worker isolate by default (offloadVisualWork: true). OCR stays on the caller isolate (ML Kit platform channels). Set offloadVisualWork: false to reproduce legacy UI-isolate blocking (lab only).
• Batch API: compareQueriesWithOptions returns full CompareScores? per query (null when decode fails).
• Batch chunking: maxQueriesPerBatch splits large query lists into multiple visual isolate trips (default unlimited; ImageCompareOptions.production uses 5).
• Merge helper: mergeCompareWithOcr exported for custom visual + OCR pipelines.
• Production preset: ImageCompareOptions.production — 1024 resize, forward OpenCV + reuse, partial OCR, offload + batch cap 5.
• Example app: UI jank demo (OLD vs NEW spinner) and integration timing benchmarks.

1.0.1

• Align plugin Android compileSdk with the documented baseline (35).
• Rename GitHub repository to whitecodel_image_compare and update package / podspec links.
• Update package author email to [e-mail].

1.0.0

• Initial pub.dev release.
• Combined pipeline: OpenCV pixel matching, perceptual / difference / average hashes, optional OCR (Latin).
• Production presets: maxImageDimension: 1024, forward-only OpenCV, instance reuse.
• Vendors OpenCV + Google ML Kit OCR (GoogleMLKit 3.2.0) into the plugin (no path/git deps).
• Android: document AGP 8.11.1+, Kotlin 2.2.20+, NDK 28.2.13676358, APK ABI stripping vs Play App Bundle.
• iOS: deployment target 13.0+; CocoaPods forwarder for shared C++ FFI; verified device Debug/Release (arm64).
• iOS note: OpenCV/ML Kit lack arm64 simulator slices (iOS 26+); use a physical device or older x86_64 simulator.
• SPM: not adopted yet (ML Kit is CocoaPods-only); Flutter falls back to CocoaPods with a warning.
• Compare Lab example app for side-by-side preset benchmarking.
