reel_text

Prepare 0.4.4 release (#37)

• Optimize recurring rolls and prepare 0.4.3

• Refresh hero preview for 0.4.3

• Harden ReelText transition correctness

• Prepare reel_text 0.4.2

• Preserve active waiting loops on invalid input

Release 0.4.1 with editable replacement baseline and strut fixes.

• Reworked plain rolling text slots to paint through cached render objects, reducing per-frame widget rebuild work for dense ReelText scenes.
• Added a full-screen performance stress screen to the example app with theme support and adjustable tile density.
• Fixed RTL rolling slot alignment while animated slot widths change.
• Added intrinsic/dry layout support for painted rolling slots and disposed transient/cached TextPainter resources used by the optimized paint path.
• No public API changes.

• Added WidgetSpan support to ReelText.rich: inline widgets now stay in the reel row while neighboring text spans keep rolling.
• Reworked the internal roll planner around a shared measured token pipeline for text glyphs and widget placeholders.
• Added regression coverage for RTL and mixed-bidi widget spans, keyed widget reorders, interrupted rich updates, selection sizing, and late placeholder measurement.
• Split the example recipe shell and preview widgets into smaller files.
• No public API changes.

Release reel_text 0.2.1

Release reel_text 0.2.0

Release reel_text 0.1.6

Release reel_text 0.1.5

• Added accessibility guideline coverage for the example app across desktop and mobile Home, Recipes, and Editor layouts.
• Improved example tap targets, semantic labels, and text-scale resilience for top navigation, metadata links, recipe controls, and editor controls.
• Made ReelText.rich respect nested TextSpan.semanticsLabel values unless a widget-level semanticsLabel override is provided.
• Added locale and RTL alignment regression coverage.
• Added an example RTL script recipe for visually checking right-to-left rolls.

• Fixed DefaultTextStyle.textAlign inheritance so ReelText follows Flutter Text layout semantics while internal glyph faces stay anchored inside their paint boxes.
• Added regression coverage for inherited alignment, internal glyph alignment, empty controller targets, and rapid controller updates.
• Expanded the README API map and clarified layout, editable text, and example app behavior.
• Persisted the selected theme in the example app.

• Relaxed the Dart and Flutter SDK constraints to support Flutter 3.16.0 and newer, while keeping the current package implementation unchanged.
• Documented that the showcase example tracks current stable Flutter separately from the package compatibility floor.

• Fixed horizontal glyph clipping for heavy text styles in both rolling and settled states.
• Kept animated row sizing on the original interpolated-width behavior while giving individual glyph faces extra paint room.
• Added regression coverage for glyph paint bleed, bounded alignment, and selection-surface layout.

• Split internal implementation into focused Dart part files while preserving the public package:reel_text/reel_text.dart API.
• Implemented and documented textAlign support for fixed-width ReelText layouts, covering both settled and rolling glyph states.
• Tightened layout to match Flutter Text exactly for settled and rolling target strings without extra animation padding.
• Added SelectionArea support through a full-string selectable surface while keeping animated glyphs visual-only.
• Added ReelText.rich for styled TextSpan phrases that still roll and select as one plain-text run.
• Added ReelText.sequence for rotating labels without manually wiring a controller and timer.
• Added ReelTextController.runWhile for async waiting/success/failure labels.
• Added ReelWaiting.scramble for readable idle loops without custom frame generators.
• Added ReelTextOptions helpers for color modes and reversed direction.
• Added ReelTextEditingController, a TextEditingController subclass for animating inline replacements inside Flutter EditableText layouts.
• Added ReelTextEditingController.animateReplacements(replacements: ...) and spanBuilder to reduce subclass boilerplate for editable text integrations.
• Added tests and examples for adjacent extended emoji clusters, selection, exact text sizing, and an inline document editor demo for typo corrections.
• Upgraded the editor demo to use a SpellCheckService pipeline with LanguageTool, native platform spellcheck where available, and a deterministic multilingual fallback for tests and offline demo phrases.

• Initial Flutter ReelText widget.
• Added declarative and imperative controller APIs.
• Added set, flash, ReelTextOptions, ReelTextFlashOptions, and chromatic.
• Added startWaiting with ReelWaiting idle presets: ellipsis, wave, frames, and builder, each with designed motion defaults and an auto-derived steady frame cadence.
• The stagger cascade now runs across changed slots only, so tail-only diffs (counters, ellipsis dots) start instantly; incoming glyphs skip exitOffset when their slot was empty.
• Springy curves now render their overshoot (it was clamped flat before), so glyphs visibly settle with a bounce; bounce scales the overshoot depth.
• First settled frames now preserve full text-run advances instead of measuring isolated glyphs, avoiding broken startup letter spacing.
• Added reduced-motion support: ReelText snaps instantly when the platform disables animations (respectDisableAnimations).
• Added widget tests and a two-page studio example app (designed showcase + developer recipes with live previews and copy-ready code).
