1.0.0-dev.1.0

This is the first development release of the upcoming 1.0.0 version of zefyr package.

Compared to 0.x versions of this package it's an almost complete rewrite and contains many breaking changes, but also comes with many improvements and new features.

This is an early dev release and it is not recommended to use in production environment. There are still many incomplete features as well as known issues that need to be addressed.

Breaking changes:

• ZefyrScaffold was removed. It is no longer required to wrap ZefyrEditor with it.
• ZefyrMode was removed. Zefyr now follows the contract of standard Flutter TextField and provides separate fields like showCursor, enableInteractiveSelection, readOnly to control editing features.
• ZefyrImageDelegate was removed as well as the imageDelegate field. There is now new embedBuilder field which allows to customize embedded objects. By default it is set to defaultZefyrEmbedBuilder which only supports embeds of type "horizontal rule". To support image embeds this field needs to be supplied with a function which can handle images.
• ZefyrView was removed. It is now possible to use ZefyrEditor with readOnly set to true to achieve view-only exprience.
• ZefyrScope was removed. There is no replacement for this class, it's just not needed anymore.
• ZefyrToolbarDelegate was removed together with ZefyrToolbar.delegate field. The toolbar can now be placed anywhere and does not require a scaffold. Users are required to handle visibility of the toolbar though (which was previously handled by ZefyrScaffold).
• ZefyrTheme has been rewritten to simplify theme data. See implementation for more details.

The above is not a comprehensive list but it should highlight all the major changes and help with migration.

What's new:

• Desktop support, including handling of mouse and keyboard inputs, including some keyboard shortcut as well as, hiding selection handles,
• Web support, partial. There is still limitations on the Flutter side, particularly around rendering rich-text and providing text metrics for rich-text.
• Better cursor handling and painting. It now matches the built-in Flutter behavior and style.
• Better selection handling.
• Code blocks now have line numbers (also planned - syntax highlighting)
• ZefyrEditor.expands field controls whether the editor expands to fill its parent.
• ZefyrEditor.minHeight and ZefyrEditor.maxHeight allow to control the height of the editor.
• ZefyrEditor.scrollable if set to false allows to embed the editor into a custom scrollable layout, e.g. a ListView.
• ZefyrEditr.onLaunchUrl callback is invoked when the user wants to open a link.

0.7.0

This release contains breaking changes.

• Breaking change: ZefyrEditor.enabled field replaced by ZefyrEditor.mode which can take one of three default values:
  • ZefyrMode.edit: the same as enabled: true, all editing controls are available to the user
  • ZefyrMode.select: user can't modify text itself, but allowed to select it and optionally apply formatting.
  • ZefyrMode.view: the same as enabled: false, read-only.
• Added optional selectionControls field to ZefyrEditor and ZefyrEditableText. If not provided then by default uses platform-specific implementation.
• Added support for "selectAll" action in selection toolbar.
• Breaking change: removed ZefyrDefaultImageDelegate as well as dependency on image_picker plugin. Users are required to provide their own implementation. If image delegate is not provided then image toolbar button is disabled.
• Breaking change: added ZefyrImageDelegate.cameraSource and ZefyrImageDelegate.gallerySource fields. For users of image_picker plugin these should return ImageSource.camera and ImageSource.gallery respectively. See documentation on implementing image support for more details.

• Breaking change: renamed RenderEditableParagraph to RenderZefyrParagraph. User code is unlikely to be affected unless you've extended Zefyr with custom implementations of block widgets.
• Added ZefyrScope class - replaces previously used scope objects ZefyrEditableTextScope and ZefyrEditorScope. Unified all shared resources under one class.
• Breaking change: removed ZefyrEditor.of and ZefyrEditableText.of static methods. Use ZefyrScope.of instead.
