v1.3.0 - Modern API Design & Architecture Improvements

Major Improvements in v1.3.0

This release brings significant modernization to the airtable_crud package with improved API design, better error handling, and enhanced type safety—all while maintaining 100% backward compatibility!

✨ What's New

• Unified API: Single fetchRecords() method for all queries
• Better Error Handling: Specific exception types (AuthException, NetworkException, RateLimitException, etc.)
• Immutable Updates: New copyWith() and updateField() methods
• Advanced Configuration: AirtableConfig for timeouts, retries, and logging
• Enhanced Return Values: Operations now return useful data
• New Bulk Operations: Bulk update and delete support

⚠️ Deprecation Notices

Some methods are deprecated but still work (removed in v2.0.0):

• Import path: Use airtable_crud.dart instead of airtable_plugin.dart
• Use fetchRecords(filter: ...) instead of fetchRecordsWithFilter()
• Use immutable updates instead of direct field mutation
