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.
