Introduces the flet-desktop-light Python package for Linux, updates dependency logic in flet/pyproject.toml to use platform-specific desktop packages, and adjusts pip utility to install the correct desktop package based on OS. Removes obsolete scripts and related workflow steps for patching package names and wheel dependencies.
Included 'flet-desktop-light' in the dependencies list and updated the patch script to handle this new dependency. This ensures that version patching and dependency management now cover 'flet-desktop-light' alongside other Flet packages.

* Update Rive plugin to rive_native and upgrade dependencies Migrates plugin references from rive_common to rive_native across all platforms and updates the Rive package to version 0.14.x. Refactors flet-rive extension and control implementation to use new Rive APIs, ensuring compatibility with the latest plugin changes. * Update changelogs for 0.80.0 release Changelog files for multiple Flet Python packages updated to reflect the 0.80.0 release. Unreleased sections replaced with 0.80.0, and redundant version links and dates removed for consistency. * Add rive_native setup step to macOS CI build Added a step to run 'dart run rive_native:setup' with verbose and clean options for the macOS platform before building the Flutter macOS app. This ensures rive_native is properly configured during CI builds. * Add verbose flag to Flutter build in CI workflow Appends the -v flag to the Flutter build command for Linux in the CI workflow to enable verbose output, aiding in debugging build issues. * Add conditional Rive client support and macOS setup Introduces conditional inclusion of the flet_rive package and related imports/extensions for ARM64 builds in CI, using marker comments for easy removal. Adds a Rive Native Setup shell script build phase to the macOS Xcode project to automate platform-specific setup. Updates pubspec.yaml and main.dart to wrap flet_rive references with marker comments for CI script processing. * Remove verbose flag from Flutter Linux build The '-v' verbose flag was removed from the Flutter build command in the CI workflow for Linux. Also updated flet-rive changelog for version 0.80.3, noting migration to rive 0.14.0. * Update Podfile to set PROJECT_ROOT for rive_native Adds logic to the post_install hook to set the PROJECT_ROOT environment variable and change directory for rive_native shell script build phases. This ensures the build script runs in the correct project root directory. * Add comment for rive_native setup in Podfile Added a comment to clarify that rive_native's setup script should run from the project root to ensure pubspec.yaml is found in CI environments. * Update Linux support note in Rive docs Clarified that Linux support for Rive animations is limited to x64 architecture in the documentation table. * Add rive_native setup step to macOS integration tests Introduces a step to run 'dart run rive_native:setup' with verbose and clean options for the macOS platform before executing integration tests. This ensures the environment is properly configured for the tests. * Move rive_native setup to dedicated CI step The rive_native setup command is now run in a separate step before integration tests in the macOS workflow. This improves clarity and ensures the environment is prepared before tests execute. * Comment out test suites and increase log level Several test suites in the matrix have been commented out, reducing the number of integration tests run on macOS. The pytest log level was changed from INFO to DEBUG for more detailed output during test execution. * Add flutter doctor step to CI workflow Runs 'flutter doctor' before setting up rive_native in the macOS integration tests workflow to ensure Flutter environment is properly configured. * Update CI to use macos-15 for integration tests Changed the GitHub Actions workflow to run macOS integration tests on macos-15 instead of macos-14 to ensure compatibility with the latest macOS environment. * Comment out rive_native setup and adjust pytest log level The rive_native setup step in the CI workflow has been commented out, and the pytest log level for integration tests has been changed from DEBUG to INFO. This may help reduce log verbosity and address issues related to rive_native setup during macOS integration tests. * Update macOS CI to use macos-15 and enable more test suites Changed the build_macos job to run on macos-15 instead of macos-latest in ci.yml. Enabled additional integration test suites in macos-integration-tests.yml by uncommenting them. * Add `flet-desktop-light` to simplify packaging and fix default install on Linux (#6027) * Add flet-desktop-light package and update platform dependencies Introduces the flet-desktop-light Python package for Linux, updates dependency logic in flet/pyproject.toml to use platform-specific desktop packages, and adjusts pip utility to install the correct desktop package based on OS. Removes obsolete scripts and related workflow steps for patching package names and wheel dependencies. * Add flet-desktop-light to dependencies Included 'flet-desktop-light' in the dependencies list and updated the patch script to handle this new dependency. This ensures that version patching and dependency management now cover 'flet-desktop-light' alongside other Flet packages. * Fix table formatting for Linux support note Replaced space with non-breaking space in the Linux support cell to improve table formatting and readability.
