v4.0.0: Complete API Restructuring & Major Improvements

🚨 BREAKING CHANGES:

  • Complete API overhaul: Replace controller + widget pattern with unified class-based API
  • Class consolidation: Remove CachedVideoPlayerPlusController, CachedVideoPlayerPlusValue, and CachedVideoPlayerPlus widget
  • Import changes: Now requires import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart' for VideoPlayer widget
  • Method renames: removeCurrentFileFromCache()removeFromCache()
  • Parameter type changes: removeFileFromCache(String)removeFileFromCache(Uri)
  • Constructor changes: All constructors moved from controller to main class

✨ Features:

  • Unified API: Single CachedVideoPlayerPlus class handles both caching logic and controller management
  • Enhanced documentation: Comprehensive inline documentation following Dart conventions with detailed examples
  • Debug optimization: All debug prints wrapped in kDebugMode guards for better performance
  • Complete migration guide: Detailed step-by-step migration documentation with examples
  • Modernized example: Updated example app showcasing new API patterns

🚀 Improvements:

  • Massive codebase reduction: Simplified architecture while maintaining full functionality
  • Better separation of concerns: Clear distinction between caching logic and video playback
  • Enhanced error handling: Improved validation and user-friendly error messages
  • Future-proof design: Built on modern Flutter patterns and best practices
  • Performance optimizations: Streamlined initialization and caching workflows
