StringKit-FP v1.7.0: The Complete String Toolkit

Here’s a ready-to-paste Release Note for v1.7.0.

🧵 StringKit-FP v1.7.0 -- Move to Built-in RTL Types

Updated the API and docs to use built-in Free Pascal types. Replaces custom TMatchStrings with Types.TStringDynArray across public APIs, helpers, tests, and documentation. All 144 tests pass.

✨ Highlights

• Built-in types: migrate to Types.TStringDynArray for arrays of strings
• Cleaner helper signatures, e.g., JoinWith(const Strings: TStringDynArray)
• Updated README and Cheat Sheet to match new types/signatures
• No functional regressions; full test suite (144) passes

🛠 Changes

• Public API and helper methods updated to use TStringDynArray
• Docs updated:
  • README examples now use TStringDynArray
  • Cheat Sheet note: Split returns TStringDynArray
  • CHANGELOG adds 1.7.0 with migration notes
• Internal consistency fixes in examples/comments (split/join, n-grams)

⬆️ Migration Notes

• Replace any TMatchStrings with Types.TStringDynArray
• Add Types to uses where needed
• Prefer delimiter-first instance-style join:
  ', '.JoinWith(Arr)

✅ Compatibility

• Non-breaking update for most users
• No behavioral changes to algorithms or utilities
• All 144 tests pass locally

📋 Requirements

• Free Pascal 3.2.2+
• Lazarus 4.0+ (for package installation)
