2.0.0 - 2025-08-10 π #
π― MAJOR TRANSFORMATION - HUB PACKAGE ARCHITECTURE #
BREAKING CHANGE: Complete transformation from implementation package to meta-package hub for the Sugar ecosystem.
β¨ Added - Hub Package System #
π Meta-Package Architecture
- SugarFast.initialize() - Unified initialization for entire Sugar ecosystem
- Hub package structure - Single dependency for all Sugar packages
- Ecosystem management - Centralized configuration and setup
- Future-ready exports - Prepared for upcoming Sugar packages
π¦ Current Ecosystem Integration
- Riverpod Sugar - Enhanced state management utilities (available now)
- Export system - Re-exports all Sugar ecosystem packages
- Version management - Centralized version tracking for all packages
- Unified API - Consistent patterns across Sugar ecosystem
π§ Developer Experience
- One dependency - Install Sugar Fast, get everything
- Simple setup - Single
SugarFast.initialize()
call - Optional granularity - Can still install individual packages
- Future-proof - Automatic access to new Sugar packages
ποΈ Removed - Legacy Implementation Code #
Widget Library Removal
- All Sugar widgets (SugarText, SugarButton, SugarContainer, etc.)
- Custom render objects and paint-only update system
- Individual widget implementations and render logic
- Widget-specific performance optimizations
DevTools & Debugging Removal
- Live state editing system and SugarObserver
- In-app developer panel and floating UI
- State history tracking and analytics
- VS Code extension integration
- Web-based debugging interface

π Migration Guide #
From 1.x/2.0.0-dev Widget/DevTools System:
// Old - Individual implementations
import 'package:sugar_fast/widgets/sugar_text/sugar_text.dart';
SugarText('Hello World')
// Old - DevTools setup
SugarFast.init(enableDevPanel: true);
// New - Hub package approach
import 'package:sugar_fast/sugar_fast.dart'; // One import for everything
SugarFast.initialize(); // Initialize entire ecosystem
// Use regular Flutter widgets + Sugar ecosystem packages
New Hub Package Setup:
dependencies:
sugar_fast: ^2.0.0 # Gets entire Sugar ecosystem
void main() {
SugarFast.initialize(devMode: kDebugMode);
runApp(MyApp());
}
π Why This Transformation? #
- Ecosystem Focus: Better to be hub for multiple packages than single implementation
- Developer Productivity: One dependency for entire Sugar toolchain
- Maintainability: Easier to manage ecosystem vs monolithic package
- Future Growth: Foundation for expanding Sugar package family
- Modularity: Users can choose individual packages or get everything

π― Performance Impact #
- Zero overhead in hub package approach
- Lazy loading of individual Sugar packages
- Tree shaking ensures only used packages are included
- Memory efficient - no unused implementations
1.1.0 - 2025-08-09 π₯ (LEGACY - ARCHIVED) #
This version and all previous versions are now archived. They represented the widget implementation approach which has been superseded by the hub package architecture.
Legacy Features (Now Removed) #
- Widget library with SugarText, SugarButton, SugarContainer, etc.
- Paint-only update system for performance
- Custom render objects and optimization
- Live state editing and developer tools
Note: Users who need widget-level optimizations should consider creating dedicated packages within the Sugar ecosystem rather than using the hub approach.
1.0.0 - 2025-08-09 π (LEGACY - ARCHIVED) #
Initial widget library release - superseded by hub package architecture.
0.0.1-dev - 2025-08-01 (LEGACY - ARCHIVED) #
Development setup - superseded by hub package architecture.
