float_column

• Narrowed the package:flutter/material.dart imports in render_float_column.dart and wrappable_text.dart to package:flutter/widgets.dart. No Material symbols were used, so this change is behavior-neutral. It keeps this package free of Flutter's Material library ahead of Material and Cupertino moving out of the Flutter SDK into the standalone package:material_ui and package:cupertino_ui, so dependents that migrate to those packages don't inherit the in-framework Material library through float_column.

• Fixed the known issue from 4.1.1 where the hidden word appended to justify text at wrapping boundaries could appear in selected text (e.g. via select all, or a selection that spans a boundary). The hidden word is now separated from the visible text by a zero-height inline widget, which puts it in its own selectable fragment, and a custom SelectionContainer delegate excludes that fragment from selected content.
• Updated the README with a justified text feature bullet.

• Fixed a bug where text that wrapped around floated widgets ignored the ambient MediaQuery text scaler, breaking accessibility font scaling for the wrapped portion of the paragraph.
• Fixed a crash when a WrappableText with a non-null maxLines started with one or more line feeds. Leading line feeds now render like they do in a Text widget.
• Fixed a crash when a floated inline widget was beyond the point where its paragraph was truncated by maxLines. Truncated floated widgets are now hidden, consistent with the rest of the truncated content.
• Fixed a bug where floated inline widgets were positioned 5 pixels above the top of their anchor line, which could cause a float on the first line to paint above the top edge of the FloatColumn.
• Floated children now honor their full margin box, like CSS: margin.top and margin.bottom offset the float vertically, and sibling content wraps around the margin box instead of directly against the padding box.
• Fixed duplicate key detection, which previously did not detect duplicate keys on widget children.
• Keyed widget children now preserve their state when reordered.
• When a text span is split (to wrap around floated widgets), its semanticsLabel is now kept on the first part only, so assistive technologies announce it once instead of once per part. Also fixed a debug-mode crash when splitting a span with a semanticsLabel at the boundary between its text and its children.
• In debug mode, querying a FloatColumn's intrinsic dimensions now throws a descriptive error instead of silently collapsing the column to zero size.
• Improved layout performance for paragraphs that do not contain floated inline widgets.
• Updated the README with accurate, compile-checked examples, including floated widgets in WidgetSpans.
• Added tests covering text scaling, maxLines edge cases, float positioning and margins, key handling, semanticsLabel splitting, and intrinsic sizing.

• Updated so that in addition to style, the rest of the current context's DefaultTextStyle properties are provided to child text widgets (textAlign, overflow, maxLines, textWidthBasis, and textHeightBehavior).

• Fixed off-by-one error in the InlineSpan extension method defaultSplitSpanAtIndex.

• Cleaned up debug logging.

Refactored the code to utilize RichText widgets for rendering floated text instead of internally rendering it using TextPainters. This change offers several advantages, including reduced dependency on Flutter’s internal implementation of RenderParagraph and related selection features. Specifically, it enhances support for Flutter’s text selection capabilities, ensures compatibility with a wider range of Flutter versions, and significantly reduces code size by approximately one-third.

• Added two new required methods to SelectableFragment class: int get contentLength and SelectedContentRange? getSelection(). These two new methods are defined in Flutter 3.29.0, so it is a breaking change.
• Updated pubspec.yaml to depend on flutter: '>=3.29.0'.

• Updated pubspec.yaml to use flutter: '>=3.24.0'.

• Updated to compile with Flutter 3.24.0

• Updated TextRenderer to handle the case where _painter.text is null to avoid a possible exception.

• Another update to try to fix static analysis issues.

• More updates to try to fix static analysis issues.

• Updated to fix static analysis issue.

• Fixed compile issue with Flutter 3.19.0 and other bug fixes and updates.

• Fixed bug where if a Widget in a WidgetSpan changes its size, FloatColumn was not updating properly.

• Updated so it builds with Flutter 3.13.0.

• Fixed bug related to maxLines being set to a value greater than 1, and overflow being set to TextOverflow.ellipsis, where the text would not be layed out correctly.

• Updated to support Dart 3 and Flutter 3.10.0.

• Updated how text renderers are cached for quicker access.
• Some code cleanup to RenderFloatColumn hitTestChildren and other code cleanup.

• Added support for Flutter's selection functionality.

• Added a copyWithTextSpan parameter to the defaultSplitSpanAtIndex extension method on the InlineSpan class.

• Added optional an bool ignoreFloatedWidgetSpans = false parameter to the splitAt and splitAtIndex methods of SplittableMixin.

• Updated to remove warnings related to latest Flutter version.

• Updated FloatColumn to support children of type TextSpan, Text, and RichText.

• Added TextOverflow overflow and int? maxLines to WrappableText class.

• Fixed bug in the RenderObject extension method visitChildrenAndTextRenderers. It would not recursively visit children with VisitChildrenOfAnyTypeMixin. Now it does.

• Code updates to fix warnings related to Flutter 3.0 release.
• Fixed bug related to when markNeedsSemanticsUpdate is called. Since it can immediately result in a call to describeSemanticsConfiguration, it needed to be moved outside of the loop updating the cached WrappableTextRenderer list.

• Fixed bug in RenderFloatColumn assembleSemanticsNode, it was using the [] operator of WrappableTextRenderer, when it should have been using the renderers getter.

• Fixed #3 "WrappableText objects that contain TextSpans that have a recognizer (e.g. TapGestureRecognizer) aren't handled correctly, i.e. the recognizer is ignored for hit tests."
• Updated RenderFloatColumn to support standard describeSemanticsConfiguration and assembleSemanticsNode methods.

• Fixed bug in RenderFloatColumn visitChildrenOfAnyType.
• Added example Mac app, and updated examples.

• Updated to use flutter_lints_plus package and fix Flutter 2.5 lint warnings.

• Added support for floated inline widgets using WidgetSpan with Floatable child.

• Added code that shows overflow area and size in case of height overflow.

• Fixed bug where the layout was incorrect in some cases if line-feed characters were in the text.

• Updated README.md and released 1.0.0 version.

• Updated so the textAlign parameter of WrappableText works correctly.

• Updated so negative indent values work correctly.

• Added RenderBox get renderBox and Offset get offset to RenderTextMixin.

• Added support for visiting the children (render objects and text renderers) of a RenderFloatColumn, via the visitChildrenOfAnyType function.
• Added support for getting detailed info about each text renderer child (via the RenderTextMixin), similar to RenderParagraph.
• Fixed a bug relating to WrappableText and unique keys.

• Added support for margins and padding to WrappableText and Floatable.

• Removed debug print statements, added more examples to readme file.

• Fixed a bug where a child widget with a width of zero would cause an exception.

• Fixed a bug where a child widget with an unconstrained width would cause an exception.

• Prerelease version with basic functionality, and probably a lot of bugs.
