Full Changelog: 2.0.1...2.0.2

v2.0.1

Changed

• Refactor withBody method in ClientHandler to only accept array arguments and encode given arguments to json string when called
• Update documentation and fix typos

v2.0.0

Added

• VitePress Documentation: Introduced a new VitePress documentation site, including comprehensive API reference, examples, and guides. The site is accessible under the ./docs/ directory and deployable on Netlify.
• Async Functionality: Introduced a new async functionality using async() function powered by PHP Fibers for true asynchronous operations. This provides a modern, JavaScript-like async/await syntax for handling non-blocking requests.
• Fluent API for HTTP Requests: Added support for a fluent, chainable API inspired by Laravel’s HTTP client. Methods like withHeaders(), withBody(), withToken(), and others allow for more intuitive and flexible request building.
• Task Lifecycle Management: Introduced Matrix-powered task lifecycle management, allowing tasks to be paused, resumed, canceled, and retried for asynchronous requests.
• Retry Logic with Exponential Backoff: Added customizable retry logic for both synchronous and asynchronous requests, allowing for retries with exponential backoff in case of network failures.

Changed

• Refactor of fetch() Function: Refactored the core fetch() function to support both synchronous and asynchronous requests seamlessly. Now supports direct chaining of promises with then() and catch() for async requests.
• Improved Error Handling: Enhanced error handling to provide better control over exceptions during both sync and async requests. Introduced customizable error handlers and improved promise rejection management.
• Response Class Overhaul: The Response class has been revamped to better handle different response formats, including JSON, text, binary data (array buffer), and streams. This improves the handling of diverse response types.
• Expanded Guzzle Configuration Options: The package now exposes all of Guzzle’s configuration options directly via the ClientHandler, including proxy settings, cookies, redirects, and SSL certificates.

Removed

• Deprecated fetchAsync Method: The fetchAsync function has been fully removed, replaced by the new async() helper function. This provides better async handling and aligns with the new architecture based on PHP Fibers.
• Symfony Response Dependency: Completely removed the dependency on Symfony’s Response class in favor of Guzzle’s PSR-7 compliant Response implementation. This reduces the package size and simplifies the dependencies.

Fixed

• Laravel 10 Compatibility Enhancements: Improved compatibility with Laravel 10 and Symfony 6.x by resolving issues related to HTTP foundation conflicts. The package now supports a wider range of Symfony and Laravel versions without dependency clashes.
• Async Error Handling: Fixed issues with async request error handling, ensuring that promises are properly resolved or rejected with meaningful exception messages.
• Persistent Guzzle Client Instances: Fixed an issue where a new Guzzle client was instantiated for every request. The Guzzle client is now reused efficiently across both sync and async operations.

v1.2.0

Added

• Guzzle PSR-7 Response Support: Introduced the guzzlehttp/psr7 library for managing HTTP responses, providing more flexibility and aligning with PSR-7 standards.
• Enhanced Error Handling: Improved error handling for both synchronous and asynchronous requests using Guzzle's RequestException.
• New README Documentation: Updated the README to reflect the changes in response handling and usage of the guzzlehttp/psr7 response.

Changed

• Refactor Response Class: The Response class now extends guzzlehttp/psr7\Response instead of Symfony's Response, reducing dependency overhead and improving compatibility with PSR-7.
• HTTP Request Handling: Refactored the Http class to ensure seamless request handling with the new guzzlehttp/psr7 response model.
• Removed Symfony Response Dependency: Dropped Symfony's Response class in favor of the more lightweight and standard guzzlehttp/psr7.

Fixed

• Laravel 10 Compatibility: Addressed compatibility issues with Laravel 10 by ensuring the package can work with Symfony 6.x versions while allowing flexibility for future upgrades.
• Composer Dependency Conflicts: Resolved conflicts with Symfony’s HTTP Foundation, ensuring compatibility for projects that depend on specific versions of Symfony and other packages.
• Asynchronous Error Handling: Fixed issues related to handling exceptions in asynchronous requests, ensuring proper error handling and promise resolution.

v1.1.1

Changed

• Updated Composer Dependencies:
  The symfony/http-foundation dependency has been updated to support versions ^6.0 || ^7.0, ensuring compatibility with Laravel 10 and future versions. This change allows smooth integration with Laravel 9.x, 10.x, and future Laravel versions without version conflicts.
• Enhanced Test Suite for Compatibility:
  The GitHub Actions test matrix has been expanded to test against Laravel 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x, ensuring future compatibility with new Laravel releases.

Fixed

• Compatibility Issue with Laravel 10:
  The package had an installation conflict when used with Laravel 10 due to outdated symfony/http-foundation version constraints. This release resolves the issue, allowing users to install the package without dependency conflicts in Laravel 10 environments.

v1.1.0

Changed

• Http Class: The HTTP request handling has been abstracted away into a new Http class, improving the overall structure of the library and allowing for cleaner, centralized management of requests via Guzzle.
• Guzzle Client Reuse: The Guzzle client is now instantiated as a singleton, meaning it is created once and reused across all HTTP requests. This change improves the performance of the library when making multiple requests.
• Deprecation of fetchAsync: The fetchAsync method is now deprecated in favor of fetch_async. A deprecation warning has been added to guide users to transition to the new method.

Fixed

• Guzzle Client Instantiation Issue: Resolved an issue where the Guzzle client was instantiated for every HTTP request, leading to performance inefficiencies. Now, the client is reused across requests, reducing overhead.
