1.2.021 Mar 2026
Auto-Cleanup on Error: Added the deleteOnError parameter to downloadAndInstallApk. When set to true, the package will automatically delete incomplete
✨ New Features:

Auto-Cleanup on Error: Added the deleteOnError parameter to downloadAndInstallApk. When set to true, the package will automatically delete incomplete APK files if the download fails due to a network or server error.

Smart Cancellation: Added the deletePartialDownload parameter to cancelDownload. This gives developers explicit control to permanently delete the partial file when a user cancels an active download.

🛡️ Stability & Core Improvements:

Concurrency Lock: Added bulletproof protection against concurrent downloads. Attempting to start a download while one is already active will now safely throw a DownloadErrorType.alreadyRunning exception instead of corrupting the file state.

Storage Safety: Fixed an asynchronous race condition to guarantee orphaned or junk files are never left behind on the user's device after cancellations or unexpected HTTP status codes.

Complete Documentation: Added comprehensive, pub.dev-compliant Dartdoc comments to all public classes, methods, and parameters for improved IDE Intellisense and perfect package scoring.

1.1.017 Mar 2026

✨ New Features:

Cancel Download: Added a new method to cancel an ongoing download request.
Granular Progress Metrics: Added new callback parameters to downloadAndInstallApk for detailed UI updates:
- onTimeLeft: Returns the estimated time remaining.
- onSpeed: Returns the current download speed.
- onTotalSize: Returns the total size of the file.
- onDownloadedSize: Returns the currently downloaded file size.

⚠️ Deprecations & Updates:

onError is Deprecated: You can still use the onError callback for now, and it will function without any issues. However, it is highly recommended to wrap your method call in a try-catch block to catch the new FileDownloadException instead.
Future Removal: Catching the exception is the better approach for handling custom error messages, and the onError callback will be completely removed in future versions.
