v1.5.6 - Fixes & Improvements

Fixed

• Fixed a critical bug where compression method values 1–9 were ambiguously used for both ZLIB and GZIP

Changed

• Simplified compression logic by removing redundant GZIP compression options
• Migrated to a new fixed method ID scheme (identity=0, zlib=10) while maintaining backward compatibility

Added

• Improved compression performance by 90%+ across all compressions
• Optimized ZLIB level probing with early stopping when no further size gain is observed
• Added extensive test coverage, including legacy method fallback
• Added performance benchmarking and validation against real-world data samples
• Added a comprehensive beginner's guide to the README with detailed step-by-step explanations for:
  • Package installation and setup
  • Importing and basic usage
  • Compressing different data types
  • Restoring compressed data
  • Firebase integration examples
  • Best practices and common patterns

v1.5.5 - released to pub.dev!

🚀 Just released a new Dart package: shrink
📦 Compress any data in one line — no setup, no boilerplate.
🎯 Automatically picks the best method. Fully lossless.
🔥 Typical savings: 5×–40×, and up to 1,000×+ for structured data.

Supports:

• String (text)
• Map<String, dynamic> (JSON)
• Uint8List (raw bytes)
• List (unique IDs)

final compressed = data.shrink();
final restored = compressed.restoreJson();

Or

final compressed = Shrink.json(data);
final restored = Restore.json(data);

Great for Firebase, offline storage, and low-bandwidth apps.
