0.17.0

This is a larger change with a goal of no runtime changes for current customers, but in the future Observable will become a very lightweight interface, i.e.:

abstract class Observable<C extends ChangeRecord> {
  Stream<List<C>> get changes;
}
  • Started deprecating the wide Observable interface
    • ChangeNotifier should be used as a base class for these methods:
      • Observable.observed
      • Observable.unobserved
      • Observable.hasObservers
      • Observable.deliverChanges
      • Observable.notifyChange
    • PropertyChangeNotifier should be used for these methods:
      • Observable.notifyPropertyChange
    • Temporarily, Observable uses ChangeNotifier
      • Existing users of anything but implements Observable should move to implementing or extending ChangeNotifier. In a future release Observable will reduce API surface down to an abstract Stream<List<C>> get changes.
  • Added the ChangeNotifier and PropertyChangeNotifier classes
    • Can be used to implement Observable in a generic manner
  • Observable is now Observable<C extends ChangeRecord>
    • When passing a generic type C, notifyPropertyChange is illegal
