Added #

• New particle types for greater versatility:
  • ParticleType.star - 5-pointed star particles with rotation
  • ParticleType.heart - Heart-shaped particles using Bézier curves
  • ParticleType.leaf - Realistic leaf particles with central and side veins
  • ParticleType.raindrop - Teardrop/raindrop-shaped particles
• New painters: StarParticlePainter, HeartParticlePainter, LeafParticlePainter, RaindropParticlePainter
• New example page demonstrating all particle types with color picker and size slider

Fixed #

• Bug fix: particleColor now works correctly for snowflake particles (was hardcoded to white)

Changed #

• Refactored SnowflakeParticlePainter to use particle color instead of hardcoded color
• Updated particle type selection to use Dart 3 switch expression for cleaner code
• Added hashCode and == operators to Particle class for proper comparison
• Unified ParticlePainter and CircularParticlePainter - ParticlePainter now extends CircularParticlePainter to eliminate code duplication

Improved #

• Enhanced LeafParticlePainter with more realistic leaf shape using cubic Bézier curves
• Added central vein and side veins to leaf particles for natural appearance
• Proportional vein thickness based on particle size

Performance #

• Optimized shouldRepaint in CircularParticlePainter and SnowflakeParticlePainter with deep comparison using hashCode, reducing unnecessary repaints

Fixed #

• Applied dart format to all library files for pub.dev compliance
• Updated example dependencies (flutter_lints to ^6.0.0)

Added #

• Frame rate control via frameRateMs parameter for performance tuning
• Comprehensive inline documentation for all public APIs
• Proper CHANGELOG documentation

Fixed #

• Particles now initialize with correct screen dimensions instead of hardcoded 1000px
• Removed duplicate update() calls in painters (~50% performance improvement)
• Particles properly adapt to LayoutBuilder constraints

Changed #

• Enhanced documentation with dartdoc comments throughout the codebase

Performance #

• Significant performance improvement by eliminating redundant particle updates per frame
• Particles now initialize efficiently with actual screen dimensions

Changed #

• Updated package version and metadata

Changed #

• Updated package dependencies in README

Changed #

• Updated homepage and repository URLs in pubspec.yaml

Added #

• Initial release
• Snowfall animation widget
• Support for circular and snowflake particle types
• Custom painter support for advanced rendering
• Custom widget support for particles
• Configurable particle properties: count, size, speed, color
