## 1.2.1

Revert added common C integer types as ABI-specific integers.
Instead, these are available in Dart 2.17.

## 1.2.0 (retracted)

This release requires Dart `2.16.0` or greater.

## 1.2.0-dev.0

Added common C integer types as ABI-specific integers. These common C integer
types will make their way into `dart:ffi` in 2.17 and be deprecated from this
package. Having them in this package enables using them in Dart 2.16.

This pre-release requires Dart `2.16.0-118.0.dev` or greater.

## 1.1.2

Fixed unhandled exception in `withZoneArena` (#107).

## 1.1.1

Adds a sanity check to `Pointer<Utf8>` and `Pointer<Utf16>` extension methods
that receiver is not `nullptr`.

## 1.1.0

Adds the `arena` allocator.

Moves from static analysis with lints in package:pedantic to package:lints.

## 1.0.0

Bumping the version of this package to `1.0.0`.

Removes all deprecated methods, use `0.3.0-nullsafety.3` for migration.

## 0.3.1-nullsafety.0

Deprecates the static methods on `Utf8` and `Utf16` and introduces
extension methods to replace them.

## 0.3.0-nullsafety.3

Adds back in deprecated `allocate` and `free` to ease migration.
These will be removed in the next release.

This pre-release requires Dart `2.12.0-259.9.beta` or greater.

## 0.3.0-nullsafety.1

This pre-release requires Dart `2.12.0-259.8.beta` or greater.

Note that this pre-release does _not_ work in Flutter versions containing Dart
`2.12.0-260.0.dev` - `2.12.0-264.0.dev`.
Using `Allocator.call` throws a `NoSuchMethodError` in these versions.
See [Flutter Engine #23954](https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/23954) for more info.

## 0.3.0-nullsafety.0

Changes `Utf8` and `Utf16` to extend `Opaque` instead of `Struct`.
This means `.ref` is no longer available and `Pointer<Utf(..)>` should be used.
See [breaking change #44622](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/44622) for more info.

Removes `allocate` and `free`.
Instead, introduces `calloc` which implements the new `Allocator` interface.

This pre-release requires Dart `2.12.0-265.0.dev` or greater.

## 0.1.3-dev.1

* Adds top-level `allocate<T>()` and `free()` methods which can be used as a
  replacement for the deprecated `Pointer.allocate<T>()` and `Pointer.free()`
  members in `dart:ffi`.
